Safety Information

While Morse Manufacturing Co. drum handling equipment is 

engineered for safety and efficiency, a high degree of responsibility 

must be placed upon the machine operator to follow safe practices, 

based primarily on common sense, upon which true safety 

depends.

Failure to follow the safety precautions in this manual can result in 

personal injury or property damage. Observe the same precautions 

as with similar machinery where carelessness in operating or 

maintenance is hazardous to personnel. Carefully read the safety 

precautions below and throughout this manual.

damage may be incurred during transit.

in additional freight charges. Residential delivery fees, inside
