Machine Description
The Mobile-Karrier / Palletizer is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a
ribbed 55-gallon steel drum 22.5” in diameter. The maximum capacity is 800
Lb.
Options
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30
•
Series Diameter Adaptor installed (see
).
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 37” 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

3.
is recommended that you steady the drum and be prepared for its
possible tendency to tilt toward its heavier side.
