DER40 Non-Hydraulic Forklift Drum Rotators are designed for 205L steel drums, providing controlled lifting and drum rotation for efficient emptying and handling. Models are available with either hand wheel or chain-operated rotation.
Features of DER40 Non-Hydraulic Forklift Drum Rotators:
- Controlled drum rotation allows 205L steel drums to be lifted and rotated through 360 degrees in a controlled manner.
- 180-degree rotation is also specified for the DER40 drum rotator range.
- DER40H hand wheel operation is suitable for use at chest height, with rotation achieved using the fitted hand wheel.
- DER40C chain operation allows drum rotation up to 3m above the ground using a hand chain similar to a roller door mechanism.
- Fast and economical drum emptying provides a practical solution for dispensing or emptying standard 205L drums.
- Low-effort rotation allows the drum to be turned with minimal operator effort.
- Large worm-drive gearbox provides braking during rotation if the operator stops turning the handle or pulling the hand chain.
- Automatic drum holding locks the drum against dangerous or uncontrolled movement when rotation is stopped.
- Large gearbox design helps reduce the incidence of gearbox failure during operation.
- Sturdy belly strap and over-centre catch secure the drum firmly into the attachment.
- Locking safety pin helps prevent accidental release of the over-centre catch during tipping.
- PBO Plastic Barrel Option is available with a reduced Working Load Limit of 350kg for compatible plastic drum applications.
