Machine Description
The Model 400A-60-125 Hydra-Lift Karrier will pour a drum up to 60” high, measured from the floor to the lowest point of a hori
-
zontal drum. It is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a ribbed 55-gallon steel drum 22.5” in diameter.
•
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30 Series Diameter Adaptor installed
(see Diameter Adaptor literature)
•
A 55-gallon plastic drum can be handled if the unit is equipped with an Adjustable Bracket (Option APS) or Top Rim Clamp
(Option ARC)
(see plastic drum option manual).
The maximum full-drum capacity is 800 Lb. The capacity is derated to 500 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.
Controls
The Morse Hydra-Lift Karrier is manually propelled and steered.
The drum lift is powered by a 12V DC motor.
There are two functions for the operator to control (Figure 2.1):
