This model includes a quick release chain load binder that makes drum engagement and disengagement a simple procedure. The rotation mechanism is ergonomically designed and includes a self-locking gear reducer which is actuated by a handwheel.

A chainwheel option is available to permit rotation of the drum when the unit is beyond the operator’s reach.

The standard model 770 is designed to work with 55 gallon drums. While these units can be modified to handle a variety of drum styles and sizes, they are not recommended for fiber or plastic drums.

The model 771 is a heavy duty drum lifter designed to manipulate drums in high production areas.

While similar to the 770, this unit includes a solid steel band and lock mechanism in place of the chain load binder. The solid steel band helps maintain the integrity of the drum by increasing surface contact between the drum and the lifter. It also holds the drum more securely and provides greater control during pouring.

This model is equipped with an ergonomically designed rotation mechanism that is actuated by a

handwheel with a self-locking gear reducer. A chainwheel option is available to permit rotation of the drum when the unit is beyond the operator’s reach.

The standard model 771 is designed for 55 gallon drums, but it can also be designed to work with a variety of different drum styles and sizes.

Motorized rotation is available with the model M771drum lifter. This feature provides greater handling ease and more precise positioning for pouring and dumping. It is also an important safety feature since it frees the operator from the necessity of working in the immediate vicinity of the discharge operation.

Standard units are available with the following voltages: 230-460/3/60 and 110/1/60. Air operated versions are also available.

The model 775 rotating drum lifter employs a cradle assembly to support the weight of the drum. Two chain binder assemblies, in conjunction with an adjustable vertical lock mechanism, hold the drum in the basket during rotation. This design permits the unit to hold the drum securely and ensures precise positioning without relying on a pressurized clamping or engagement mechanism.

Model 775 lifters accommodate a variety of drum sizes and styles, including plastic and fiber drums.

The model 775 is particularly useful when handling drums that are damaged or that cannot withstand high compression engagement. This model should be chosen whenever the outside surface of the drum will not permit proper engagement by clamping alone.

Motorized rotation is available with the model M 775 drum lifter. This feature provides greater handling ease and more precise positioning for pouring and dumping. It is also an important safety feature since it frees the operator from the necessity of working in the immediate vicinity of the dumping operation.

Standard units are available with the following voltages: 230-460/3/60 and 110/1/60. Air operated versions are also available.

The model 738 rotating drum lifter provides improved safety and convenience. It is designed for lifting and rotating standard 30 and 55 gallon steel drums. With this unit the drum is clamped onto the rotator by the action of the upper handwheel and a self-locking Acme screw and nut assembly. Once the drum is locked within the lifter arms it may be transported safely.

Turning the lower handwheel rotates the drum to pour the contents. Rotation is controlled by a self-locking worm and worm gear reducer that holds the drum in any desired position.

Optional features include air or electrically powered clamping and rotation.
