The

Bracket Assembly
(Part # 4556M-P) is
required
to handle a
plastic drum without a top rim (see figure 2.1). It is also recommended
to more securely handle a fiber drum. You can use the Bracket
Assembly with a 55-gallon (208 liter) plastic, steel or fiber drum. The
brace at top and bottom of the drum prevent it from slipping lengthways
through the drum holder. It adjusts for a drum 31” to 37” (79 to 94 cm)
tall.
The

Top Rim Clamp
(Part # 4560M-P) grips the upper rim of your
drum to prevent it from slipping through the drum holder (see figure
2.2). To handle a 55-gallon (208 liter) plastic drum with top rim, you
must
install either the Bracket Assembly or the Top Rim Clamp. You
can use the Top Rim Clamp with a 55-gallon plastic, steel or fiber drum
with suitable top rim.
