MORcinch Options to Handle a
Plastic Drum, a Fiber Drum, or a Smaller Drum

There are MORcinch Options to allow you to handle a 55-gallon plastic or steel drum, a fiber drum, or even a smaller drum with the same Morse drum handler.

Many Morse drum handlers accept MORcinch Options to handle your 55-gallon plastic drum. Plastic drums are flexible and lack the supporting ribs that are on most steel drums. The MORcinch Options below are designed to prevent a plastic drum from slipping through the drum holder.

Top Rim Clamp to Handle Your Rimmed 55-Gallon Plastic Drum

Top Rim Clamp for your rimmed 55-gallon plastic drum

The Top Rim Clamp grips the upper rim of your 55-gallon (208 liter) rimmed plastic drum to prevent it from slipping through the drum holder. The Top Rim Clamp can also be used with a 55-gallon rimmed fiber or steel drum. It bolts onto the MORcinch TM Drum Holder. Clamp it to the top rim of your drum, then secure the cinch chain around the drum as usual.
