Overhead drum turner

28 March 2017

This Drum Cradle Attachment from Packline Materials Handling has been designed and produced to meet with a pharmaceutical customer’s requirement of lifting, transporting, loading and tilting drums to provide controlled emptying.

The design supports the drum by using an over centre latch clamp to secure and hold the drum centrally between the ribs. The unit has powered rotation which is controlled from a pendant controller, ensuring a safe and efficient solution which provides a secure, simple and controlled operation.

The Drum Cradle is designed to be lifted by an overhead crane and has an adjustable top bracket to ensure that the centre of gravity is achieved correctly and the unit is supported in a true and square manner.

The design is said to offer impressive strength and durability with ease of operating and is suitable for the pharmaceutical and petrol-chemical industries and other, similar applications as the solution is manufactured in easily cleaned stainless steel, 304. The attachment is backed up by a full bespoke design service.
