ribbed55-gallon steelorber drum22”to 23.5”indiameter.Themaximum
full-drum capacity is 800 Lb. The capacity is derated to 500 Lb. for a half-full
drum. The half-full rating is based on the tilt mechanism’s capacity for handling
an unbalanced bottom-heavy drum.
Options
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30•
SeriesDiameterAdaptorinstalled(seeDiameterAdaptorliterature).
The• Bracket Assembly (Part # 4556-P) is required to handle a
