Handle Smaller Drum

MADE
IN
USA

Diameter Adaptors for smaller
drums from 14” to 17.5” in
diameter are equipped with
adjustable hold-down brackets
to prevent your drum from
slipping lengthways through the
drum holder. Handle a drum up
to 38” tall.

Diameter Adaptors for drums
from 18.5” to 22” in diameter do
not have hold-down brackets.
They fit between the ribs of a
steel drum. For plastic or fiber
drum, use Diameter Adaptor in
combination with the Bracket
Assembly to prevent the drum
from
slipping
lengthways
through the drum holder.

Diameter Adaptors are easily inserted into drum
holder in just a few seconds. With the hooks
slightly above the drum holder, advance it into
the drum holder and tilt the Diameter Adaptor
downward so that as the hooks engage the top
of the drum holder band, it settles into place
with its lower tabs protruding below the band.
Your drum handler is now ready to handle the
smaller drum size.

Insert the correct size Diameter
Adaptor to handle your smaller
drum. Diameter Adaptors are
available for sizes from 14” to 22”
diameter. They are available to
fit below-hook Kontrol-Karriers
as shown here, Forklift-Karriers,
Hydra-Lift Karriers, and VerticalLift Drum Pourers.

Use One Drum Handler for Various Size Drums by Inserting the Correct Diameter Adaptor for Each
These handy accessories allow your Morse drum handler to
handle various smaller drums. Simply and quickly place the
correct size Diameter Adaptor into the drum holder to reduce
the grip diameter to match drums smaller than a standard
22.5” diameter 55-gallon steel drum. When you complete
dispensing from your smaller drum, simply lift the Diameter
Adaptor out of the drum holder to return to handling a
55-gallon drum.
Diameter Adaptors for 17.5” diameter and smaller drums
have brackets at top and bottom of the drum. They adjust to
securely hold a drum up to 38” tall.
