Morse Fork-Mount Drum Lifts

With a Morse forklift barrel dumper, you can lift and dispense a 55-gallon steel drum, with options to handle various other types and sizes of drums. Models are available to dispense a drum weighing up to 2,500 Lb. (1134 kg). MORcinch Options are available to handle a plastic or fiber drum, and even a smaller drum. Select the correct model for your drums.

  • No tools or truck modifications
  • No electric or hydraulic connections
  • Provides controlled drum pouring
  • Allows 360 deg drum tilt control in both directions
  • Eliminates backbreaking labor and dangerous, makeshift methods
  • Chain wheel controlled tilt with 60:1 gear ratio and safety cover
  • Handle drum with drum faucet in place

  • 6-1/2"W x 2-1/2"H fork pockets
  • Fits 55 gallon steel drums 24-1/2" between forks
  • Chain cinch drum saddle

Morse Forklift-Karriers have a 20’ (6 m) long pull chain loop with 10’ (3 m) drop so you control drum tilting, 3600 in either direction. Dispense a drum right from your forklift. Can also be ordered with Hand Crank or Hand Wheel option for use only within reach.

We recommend the MORStop Tilt-Brake option to automatically hold the drum tilt angle until you move it. This prevents a partially full, unbalanced drum from turning out of control, even when the contents shift from one end to the other.

Diameter Adaptors: Add the correct diameter adaptor for each smaller drum to handle multiple drum sizes with the same drum handler. Simply and quickly place into and remove from the drum holder. Adaptors for 17.5" diameter and smaller have adjustable hold down brackets for up to 38" tall drums.
