Machine Description
The Model 400A-60-110 Hydra-Lift Karrier will pour a drum up to 72” (183
cm) high, measured from the floor to the lowest point of a horizontal drum.
It is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a 55-gallon (210 liter) steel
drum 22” to 23.5” (56 to 59.7 cm) in diameter.
The maximum full-drum capacity is 800 Lb. (363 kg). The capacity is
derated to 500 Lb. (227 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.
