Machine Description
The Mobile-Karrier / Palletizer is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a
ribbed 55-gallon steel drum 22.5” in diameter. The maximum capacity is 800
Lb.
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
plasticdrumwithoutatoprim(seegure2.1).Itisalsorecommended
to more securely handle a ber drum. You can use the Bracket
Assembly with a 55-gallon plastic, steel or ber drum. The brace

through the drum holder. It adjusts for a drum 31” to 37” tall.
The• Top Rim Clamp (Part # 4560-P) grips the upper rim of your drum
topreventitfromslippingthroughthedrumholder(seegure2.2).To
handle a 55-gallon plastic drum with top rim, you must install either
theBracketAssemblyortheTopRimClamp.YoucanusetheTopRim
