To Take a Horizontal Drum from a Rack and Place Upright on the Floor
Tilt the drum holder assembly to the horizontal position and
1.
rotate the grip pad hand crank counter-clockwise to the
full open position. Raise the drum holder assembly to the
approximate elevation of the drum to be taken down. Drive the
MORStak
TM
attachment up to the drum and adjust the height
of the drum grab, if necessary, to clear the drum walls & rack.
Drive the MORStak
2.
TM
forward until the “bridge” meets the
head of the drum. (see Figure 3.2).
DAnGeR
- It is Critical that the Bridge of the Drum
Holder Assembly is Fully Pressed Against the Top of
the Drum Before Lifting from the Horizontal Position.
If the top of the drum is not seated against the bridge,
the rim grip pads may not properly engage, and the drum
can slide off.
Note: There are interlock switches built into the drum holder
which are intended to prevent tilting when the drum is not
properly positioned. The true safety of this operation, however,
depends on the operator correctly positioning the drum in the
drum holder, and verifying proper engagement of the rim grip pads.
Figure 3.2

WARnInG
- Stay Clear of Raised Drum.
NEVER allow anyone to be below any part of a raised drum handler or drum.
WARnInG
- Do NOT Disengage the Grip Pad When Vertical Drum is Off the Ground.
When the drum is in the
vertical position, lower the drum to the floor before releasing the grip pads.
After ensuring that the area in front of the MORStak
2.
TM
is clear, tilt the drum to the horizontal position by pushing the “HORZ”
button on the pendant. Do not raise the drum until you have reached the racking area. It can be unsafe to move the
MORStak
TM
with a raised drum.
After the drum has been tilted to the horizontal position, rotate the grip pad clamp hand crank counter-clockwise to the full open
3.
position. This will allow the drum to be cradled by the two parallel drum-supporting bars and allow it to be racked horizontally.
Note: There are interlock switches built into the drum holder which are intended
to prevent tilting when the drum is not properly positioned. If the grip pad or the
top drum rim is not properly positioned, the tilting function is disabled.
Drive the unit to the drum storage area and raise or lower the drum to a height that is a couple inches higher than the shelf
4.
height. Drive the unit into the storage position and carefully lower the drum onto the rack. The two parallel drum-supporting
bars should be just below the walls of the drum but still above the rack. This will allow clearance to withdraw the MORStak
TM
and leave the drum in the storage position.
