Liftomatic

Liftomatic Material Handling expanded its line of drum handling equipment to include the 3A-HD-BHDL, a below-hook drum handling system, which is fully automatic and can be used to lift 55-gallon drums from an overhead position for placement or scales, pallets.

The device works with three radial arms. The unit has a working capacity for up to 3000 pounds drums. The three-point connection assists to maintain the drum’s integrity during the lifting process. A cutting-edge “intuitive-lock” engagement system ensures the radial arms remain in the locked position until the load is placed in its final resting location. Drums with 21 to 23 inches in outside chime diameters can be handled. www.liftomatic.com
