Below-Hook Drum Carrier
with 3-Piece Drum Holder

Morse Model 185G below-hook drum carrier allows you to lift, move and pour a drum weighing up to 800 Lb. (363 kg). The 3-piece drum holder is designed to securely hold a 55-gallon steel drum (208 liter steel drum) with 22.5" (57 cm) outside diameter between the ribs.

• Capacity: 800 Lb. (363 kg) full drum, half-full* drum up to 500 Lb. (227 kg)
• Handles: Ribbed 22.5" (57 cm) diameter
  55-gallon steel drum (208 liter steel drum)
• Has 3-Piece Drum Holder

The KEY FEATURE of Model 185G is its 3-Piece Drum Holder. This 8" (20.3 cm) wide metal band is hinged in two places and has a front closure to secure the drum. It replaces the cinch chain and ratchet tightner.

To load the drum lifter, simply move the drum holder against the drum and cinch the chain. Lift drum and rotate drum 360 degrees in either direction. Drum can be held at any tilt angle. The standard drum tilt control is a chain wheel with 12' (3.66 meter) chain loop.

The slots in the bottom of the frame can be used as a chain lock to prevent the drum from tilting. To do so, crisscross the chain and insert one side into each slot. If the drum handler is equipped with the MORStop Tilt-Brake (option # 3900i-P), braking is immediate and automatic.

Ship weight: 85 Lb. (39 kg)
Ship dimensions: L40" W39" H10" (102 x 99 x 25 cm)

IMPORTANT - It is critical to use a model with the correct drum holder to lift your drum type and dimensions.
