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.
