Handle drums with forklift attachment

Handle drums with forklift attachment

Use the new Morse model # 290F GRIP+GOTM power-grip fork mount drum handler to lift, move and pour a drum right from your forklift. You can FULLY invert a drum. . . turning the drum forward 180o. Control the drum tilt function all the way from upright to fully inverted.

Grab a drum off the floor, from a pallet, racking, trucks, etc.

The drum turns down BETWEEN the forks, close to the forklift. The compact design (dimensioned drawing on spec sheet) provides a tight turning radius. And the GRIP+GOTM weighs just 680 Lb. (308 kg) for minimal lost load on your equipment.

Self-contained 12V battery powers the grip and tilt function, requiring no connection to your lift’s power or hydraulics. The battery and charger are included.

The control pendant has built-in safety features to help prevent unintentional release of a drum.

Factory installed Option # 6149i-P Wireless control is available.

The GRIP+GOTM requires 25” (63.5 cm) between the forks, as the fork pockets are 25” apart for clearance around a typical 24” (61 cm) diameter 55-gallon (210 liter) drum.

Model 290F grips a drum with 8” x 16” (20 x 41 cm) jaws. The grip pressure is adjustable for handling a steel, plastic or fiber drum.

Handle various drums:

  • 14” to 24” (35.6 to 61 cm) diameter
  • Typical 15-gallon to 55-gallon
  • (55 to 210 liter)

Capacity: 1500 Lb. (680 kg)
