Machine Description

The Model 285A-HD Heavy-Duty Forklift-Karrier is designed to lift, transport, 

and dispense a ribbed 55-gallon steel or fiber drum 22” to 23.5” in diameter. 

The maximum full-drum capacity is 1500 Lb. The capacity is derated to 800 

Lb. for a half-full drum. The half-full rating is based on the tilt mechanism’s 

capacity for handling an unbalanced bottom-heavy drum.

Options

A  smaller  diameter  drum  can  be  handled  with  the  correct  size  55/30 

• 

Series Diameter Adaptor installed (see 

Diameter Adaptor literature

).  

The 

• 

Bracket  Assembly 

(Part  #  4556-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  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 39” tall. 

 

The 

• 

Top Rim Clamp

 (Part # 4560-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 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.

Important

Please read all instructions thoroughly before attempting to operate your

or drum. Read operating instructions and review the pictures in the sales 

brochure before operation.

at maximum elevation with load laterally centered.” See center of gravity 

dimensions on page 5 for calculating lost load on your equipment.
