Machine Description
The MORStak
TM
is designed to lift one 55-gallon (210 liter) steel or plastic drum with
a suitable top lifting rim, only (see Figure 1.1), and place it in the vertical or horizontal
position. For drums with a removable top, the top must be securely fastened. DO NOT
attempt to handle any other type of drum or object. DO NOT exceed the weight capacity of
800 Lb. (363 kg).
Controls
The MORStak
TM
lift truck attachment has a two button pendant for tilting the drum.
• The “VERT” button tilts the drum holder to vertical.
• The “HORZ” button tilts the drum holder to horizontal.
WARnInG
-
Watch Out for Pinch Points.
Stay clear of moving parts. Operator should
remain behind the lift truck during operation of the lift or tilt mechanisms.
WARnInG
-
Tilt Drum Only When Sufficiently Above the Floor.
The bottom of the upright
drum should be at least 6” above the floor. The operator should make sure the drum holder
and drum will not come in contact with the floor, rack or other obstruction during tilting of the
drum or the drum could be dislodged or dropped.
Drum Holder Assembly
The drum holder assembly is the component on the MORStak
TM
that is intended to grab and hold the drum for moving, tilting, and
racking. The drum holder assembly is designed to mechanically grab the drum by its top rim in the vertical position, and support it
with two parallel drum-supporting bars in the horizontal position. A “bridge” between the grip pads at the inside end of the drum holder
provides clearance for a typical drum faucet. The operator must see that the drum and faucet are properly oriented to enable the faucet to
clear in the space provided by the “bridge” or the faucet may open or be broken and cause a spill.
