Machine Description
The Model 285XBP Forklift-Karrier is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a ribbed

The maximum full-drum capacity is 2500 Lb. (1134 kg). The capacity is derated
to 1250 Lb. (567 kg) for a half-full drum. The half-full rating is based on the tilt
mechanism’s capacity for handling an unbalanced bottom-heavy drum.
