MORSPEED 288 SERIES

Drum Handling Fork-lift Attachment
MORSPEED HANDLES RIMMED DRUMS SIMPLY & QUICKLY
Fast handling of rimmed drums with your forklift drum handling fork-lift attachment
Lift, move and place rimmed drums right from
   your forklift
Mounts on forks in seconds without any tools
No power connections
Raise forks to grip drums
Massive steel jaws grip upper rim of drums
1500 Lb. Capacity per drum
All MORSpeed Forklift Attachments allow you to
grab, lift, move and place drums in minimum time
without leaving the driver's seat of your fork truck.
Raise and lower the forks to grab and release drums.
The massive steel jaws are contoured to securely grasp
the drum. They are completely mechanical and automatic.
MORSpeed will work with straight walled drums or even
deformed ribs, since it does not depend on the drum ribs
or friction. No modifications to your truck.
Nothing out of the ordinary for the operator to do either. Just raise and lower the forks and drive forward and back
as necessary.
MORSpeed is designed to handle virtually any common rimmed drum, whether steel (closed head or
removable top with clamp ring), plastic (with non-removable top) or fiber (with metal clamp ring closure)
in a wide range of sizes and weights. Plastic drum manufacturers have designed their drums with rims to
be lifted by this rim-gripping action. Contact us for advice on suitability of unusual drums or rim shapes.
MORSpeed models will handle rimmed steel, fiber or plastic drums. They require a minimum drum height of
24", but will handle any diameter. They work with or without pallets, and even with damaged or straight walled
drums. The minimum weight per drum required to actuate the jaws is 75 Lb. on a model with one head
per drum and 350 Lb. with two heads per drum.

MORSpeed Models with Spark Resistant Parts
The head and jaws that grip the drum, as well as the
backrest of spark resistant MORSpeed models, are
made of monel, not just coated or painted. These
monel parts are illustrated yellow here for clarity,
but are painted blue on actual product. Monel is an
alloy consisting mostly of nickel and copper to
minimize the possibility of sparking. Nozzles on gasoline
pumps are made of monel.		 morspeed models with spark resistant parts
Spark resistant parts are intended to reduce the
possibility of mechanical sparks as a possible
source of ignition. They are not a substitute for
grounding and bonding to prevent static electricity
discharges.
OPTION:
belt kit
Belt Kit part # 2523-P (shown) puts a shock
absorbent surface in front of the steel backrest
of the MORSpeed to protect the finish on a
drum. It is easy to install using 4 bolts provided.
MORSpeed models use one belt kit per drum.
