Packline Develop New Drum Lifting Attachment

Packline manufactures of the popular range of Compac stainless steel lifting machines and have recently developed a Clamp Attachment specifically for lifting and rotating drums.

The attachment has been designed with twin rocking gripper pads on each of the clamp arms this provides a snug wrap around onto the drums circumference enabling it to be securely clamped without crushing or deforming the drum, a feature particularly useful when lifting and handling thin walled vessels.

Another feature of the Clamp attachment is its geared rotation, once clamped the drum can be manually rotated effortlessly through the hand wheel driven gearbox.   Geared rotation enables the drum to be rotated in a controlled manner to any position within 360° ideal when used for pouring out the contents of the drum.   The standard design will cater for a range of diameters between 350mm - 650mm and when used in conjunction with the Compac Lifter the Clamp attachment provides the ideal solution for lifting and rotating drums weighing up to 250kg.   Because of the Clamp attachments flexible design the company is able to offer cost effective solutions to suit a wide range of Drum sizes and lifting applications.
