Machine Description
Model 85i-SS
Stainless Steel Drum Karrier is designed to lift, transport
and dispense a standard 55-gallon (210 liter) steel drum 22.5” (57 cm) in
diameter. The maximum 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.
Options
To Handle a Smaller Drum:
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30SS

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” (79 to 99 cm) tall.
The
•
Top Rim Clamp
(Kit # 4560SS-P) grips the upper rim of your drum
to prevent it from slipping through the drum holder (see figure 2.3). You
can use the Top Rim Clamp with a 55-gallon (210 liter) plastic, steel or
fiber drum with suitable top rim.
