Machine Description
The Model 400AM-72-114 Hydra-Lift Karrier will pour a drum up to 72”
high, measured from the floor to the lowest point of a horizontal drum.
It is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a 55-gallon steel or fiber
drum 22” to 23.5” in diameter.
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 mecha-
nism’s capacity for handling an unbalanced bottom-heavy drum.
Options
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size
•
55/30M Series Diameter Adaptor installed (see
).
The
•
Bracket Assembly
(Part # 4556M-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 # 4560M-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.
Controls
The Morse Hydra-Lift Karrier is manually propelled and steered.
The hydraulic pump is powered by a vane type air motor. The air motor is control
by a momentary air valve located on the air motor. Attach air supply to the air
valve.
There are two functions for the operator to control (Figure 2.3):
1. LIFT and lower function for vertical positioning of the drum.
To raise the drum, hold the air valve handle in the on position and raise the
•
LIFT handle. Release the two valve handles when desired drum height is
reached.
To lower the drum, push in the LOWER handle. Air motor is not needed.
•
2. TILT function to control the degree of rotation of the drum.
To tilt the drum forward for pouring, hold the air valve handle in the on
•
position and raise the TILT handle. Release the two valve handles when
drum angle is reached.
To return the drum to vertical position, hold the air valve handle in the on
•
position and push down on the TILT handle.
