MS Hydraulic Drum Lifting Stacker

Product Description

A drum lifting stacker is a specialized piece of material handling equipment designed to lift, transport, and stack drums or barrels. These stackers are particularly useful in industries where drums are frequently used for storing and transporting liquids, powders, and granular materials. Here are the key features and components of a drum lifting stacker:

Key Features

• Drum Handling Mechanism: Equipped with a mechanism specifically designed to securely grip and lift drums. This may include clamping jaws, a cradle, or a sling that holds the drum in place during lifting and transport.
• Hydraulic System: Utilizes a hydraulic pump, either manual or powered, to lift and lower the drum. The hydraulic system ensures smooth and controlled movements.
• Control Handle: Features a control handle or tiller with levers for operating the stacker, including lifting, lowering, and directional movement.
• Load Capacity: Typically ranges from 200 to 1,000 kg (440 to 2,200 lbs), depending on the model and design.
• Lift Height: Capable of lifting drums to varying heights, with some models offering lift heights up to 3 meters (10 feet) or more.
• Mobility: Fitted with durable wheels or casters for easy movement and maneuverability, often with options for different wheel materials to suit various floor types.
• Safety Features: Equipped with safety mechanisms such as an emergency stop button, overload protection, and safety guards to prevent accidents.
• Construction: Built with robust materials to withstand heavy use and provide long-lasting durability.

Advantages

• Efficiency: productivity by enabling quick and easy movement and stacking of drums.
• Ergonomics: Reduces physical strain on workers, minimizing the risk of injuries associated with manual lifting.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, from moving drums in warehouses to positioning them on pallets or shelves.
• Precision: The hydraulic system provides precise control over lifting and lowering, ensuring safe and accurate handling of drums.
• Stability: Designed to securely hold drums, preventing spills and ensuring safe transport.

Types

• Manual Drum Stacker: Operated manually, requiring physical effort to move and position the stacker, with a hydraulic pump to lift and lower the drums.
• Semi-Electric Drum Stacker: Combines manual movement with an electric hydraulic system for lifting, suitable for moderate usage.
• Fully Electric Drum Stacker: Offers both electric movement and hydraulic lifting, ideal for frequent and heavy-duty applications.

Applications

• Warehousing: Efficiently moves and stacks drums in storage environments.
• Manufacturing: Transports raw materials and finished products in drum form within production facilities.
• Chemical Industry: Handles drums containing chemicals and hazardous materials safely and efficiently.
• Food and Beverage: Moves and stacks drums containing ingredients or finished products in food and beverage processing plants.
• Pharmaceuticals: Transports and stores drums with pharmaceutical ingredients or products.

Key Components

• Drum Gripper: Mechanism designed to securely hold the drum, may include clamping jaws, a cradle, or a sling.
• Hydraulic Pump: Manually or electrically operated, responsible for lifting and lowering the drum.
• Control Valve: Regulates the flow of hydraulic fluid, allowing precise control over the lifting mechanism.
• Hydraulic Cylinder: Converts hydraulic pressure into mechanical force to lift the drum.
• Mast: The vertical support structure that guides the drum during lifting and lowering.
• Wheels/Casters: Provide mobility and stability, with options for different materials based on the operating environment
