Hydra-Lift Drum Rotators
Morse Hydra-Lift Drum Rotators lift and roll your
closed drum to mix and blend the contents.
The built-in hydraulic system
lifts your drum from floor level and places it quickly and easily
for
rotation on the drum turner.
Model 456-3-230 Hydra-Lift Drum Roller
Drum Rotators Save Time, Labor and Money!
Morse developed the basic concept to provide "hands-off" drum handling and mixing. Enjoy the benefits of easy, ergonomic loading and unloading and eliminate many hazards of manual drum handling.
Benefits of mixing inside closed shipping drums
- Roll drum to remix settled ingredients
- Eliminate transfer, clean-up, and special vessels
- Use separate drum for each batch
- No container to purge between batches
- Nothing to insert into drum to mix
Hydra-Lift Drum Rollers accept a steel drum in upright position. You control the hydraulic tilt to lift an upright drum and place it down on drum rotator wheels. Start and stop drum rotation with a second control. Roll a drum at 5 to 20 RPM until contents are mixed as desired. Then return the drum to vertical to unload.
Drum Rotator Capacity:
- 1,000 Lb. (455 kg) Liquid load
- 400 Lb. (182 kg) Dry load. A shifting dry load exerts greater stress on the drum rotator than the fluid motion of a liquid load.
- Roll steel drum: 6" to 26" (15 to 66 cm) diameter, maximum 40" (102 cm) length
Overall dimensions: 67" (170 cm) long x 37" (94 cm) wide. See: Dimensional Information.
Available with choice of electric motors. Explosion proof motors available (see chart below).
Available with air motor as model 456-A.
Easy to Load by Hand Truck or Hoist
A drum truck provides a simple means to deliver and remove your drum from the drum turner. Model 160 is shown here.
Load your upright drum onto drum turner with a below-hook drum lifter. Model 90 Verti-Karrier shown above.
Can also load and unload Hydra-Lift Drum Rotators with:

Enclosures for Hydra-Lift Drum Rollers
Enclosure outside post-to-post dimensions: 88"L X 40"W X 74"H (224 x 102 x 188 cm)
Install all Morse Rotators
in accordance with local requirements for enclosure and safety interlock, etc.
One way to accomplish this is with a Morse enclosure with safety interlock, so
the rotator automatically turns off when enclosure door is opened.
Power connections and motor controls must also comply with applicable
local codes.
For OSHA compliance in the USA, see OSHA subpart O.1910.212(a)(4) "Barrels, containers, and drums. Revolving drums, barrels, and containers shall be guarded by an enclosure which is interlocked with the drive mechanism, so that the barrel, drum, or container cannot revolve unless the guard enclosure is in place."

* Based on a standard 22.5" (57 cm) diameter 55-gallon (208 liter) drum. 50Hz models roll the same drum at 4 to 16 RPM. ** Dry Load Capacity: A shifting dry load exerts greater stress on the drum rotator than the fluid motion of a liquid load. *** Half-Full Drum Rating: A partially full drum with unbalanced and shifting load is harder to tilt than a full drum. Half-full rating is an indication of capacity for tilting an unbalanced, bottom-heavy drum. |

* ONLY NON-Explosion Proof AC models include a pre-wired control box with start, stop functions. Models with Explosion Proof motor have no wiring from the NEMA 7/9 control box to the motor. Please consult an electrician to complete the wiring in accordance to your local code. Explosion Proof motors are rated for Class I Group D, and Class II Groups F and G. ** On models with 50 Hz motors, expect a 20% reduction in drum RPM. Morse Drum Rotators - Hydra-Lift Drum Rotator.
