Drum Carrier Features

Morse Model 185A-HDSS stainless steel heavy-duty below-hook drum carrier allows you to lift, move and pour a drum weighing up to 1500 Lb. (680 kg), or a half-full* drum up to 800 Lb. (363 kg). Model 185A-HDSS heavy-duty below-hook drum carrier is equipped with the MORcinch Drum Holder to handle a 55-gallon (210 liter) steel drum with 22" to 23.5" (56 to 59.7 cm) outside diameter between the ribs. It also accepts MORcinch Options to handle virtually any drum on the market.

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

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, braking is immediate and automatic. To have the MORStop Tilt-Brake Option installed on your new Kontrol-Karrier, order Option # 3900SSi-P.

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

Morse below-the-hook drum handlers and pail handlers are manufactured by Morse Mfg. Co., Inc. in Syracuse, NY 13208 U.S.A.

IMPORTANT:  Every Morse below-hook drum handler is individually load tested at the factory at 125% of rated capacity as per American National Standard ANSI/ASME B30.20 and ships with a Load Test Certificate enclosed.

See Load Test Video

Morse drum lifters comply with ANSI/ASME B30.20 standard for mechanical, below-the-hook lifting devices as it applies to the following:

• Rated load markings and unit identification
• Minimum design safety factor of 3, based on yield strength, for load bearing structural components
• Welding is performed by certified welders who have passed the ANSI/AWS D14.1 welding qualification test
• All welding is in accordance with ANSI/AWS D14.1 and ASME BTH-1

* Half-Full Drum Rating

Half-full drum rating for below-hook drum carrier is an indication of capacity for tilting unbalanced, bottom-heavy drum. Partially full drum with unbalanced and shifting load is harder to tilt than full drum.
