Morse Drum Competitive Advantages

MORCINCH Drum Handling System

MORCINCH kits offer users the ability to handle up to 55 gallon (210 litre) plastic / steel / fibre drums using one Morse drum handler. MORCINCH kits are designed to prevent a plastic drum from slipping through a drum holder due to its flexible nature and lack of supporting ribs (that steel drums have). Each MORCINCH kit has a unique design to accommodate the particular characteristics of plastic drums. To ensure safety, install the correct MORCINCH kit to handle a plastic or fibre drum using the same Morse drum handler.

  • Top Rim Clamp Kit is required to handle a RIMMED 30 to 55 gallon (114 to 210 litre) plastic drum.

Frequently Asked Questions

What drum handling safety procedures should I be aware of?

Heavy drums should always be moved using drum equipment specifically designed for that purpose. An incorrectly handled heavy drum can cause serious injuries, damage the drum, waste valuable contents or contaminate the environment. Drum handling employees should be trained on the proper procedures for handling drum equipment.

What is the 'half-full' capacity rating on Morse Drum handling equipment?

The capacity of tilting equipment is reduced for partially full drums because the load is unbalanced and shifting. Drums that are half-full are harder to tilt and put more strain on gears & other components. Drum handlers are rated according to how well they tilt an unbalanced, bottom-heavy drum.
Example: The capacity of Hydra-Lift Drum Karriers is 800 lb (363 kg) for a full drum, but reduced to 500 lb (227 kg) for a half-full drum.

What standards do Morse Drum below-the-hook drum handlers comply with?

Morse Drum below-the-hook drum handlers are individually load tested at the factory, at 125% of the rated capacity according to ANSI / ASME B30.20 standards, and a Load Test Certificate is enclosed for each drum handler. Welding is performed in accordance with ANSI / AWS D14.1 and ASME BTH-1 standards.

What safety measures are necessary while operating the brand's drum handling equipment?

  • Before each use, check the barrel handling equipment, ensuring good working condition.
  • Use gloves and safety glasses while using these mobile drum handlers.
  • Be cautious while lifting or moving drums near people or obstacles.
  • Avoid sudden movements or jerks and maintain stability.

How to control the tilting of Morse drum tipping equipment?

The brand provides 3900i-P manual tilt control that automatically locks and holds the drum tilt angle until the user turns the hand crank again.
