Using the lifter:
Step 1: Make sure that the shackle pin is securely fasten to the
shackle. Then, attach the shackle to the safety hook your hoist or other
lifting device.
Step 2: Position the lifter above the drum. Open the jaws and lower the
FDT over the top/lid of the drum. Unhook the handle from the latching
arm to open the jaws.
Step 3: Clamp the lip of the drum between the jaws. Make sure that the
lower jaw is underneath the rim. Lift the end of the lifting arm and raise
the hoist just enough to tighten the clamp on the rim, but not to raise
the drum.
Step 4: Test the contact between the rim of the drum and the lifter.
Stand approximately arm’s length from the drum and grasp the handle;
then raise the drum just a few inches above the ground.
If you are using a forklift instead of an overhead hoist, observe all
procedures applied to the use of forklift attachments at your worksite.
Watch the drum and lifter for approximately 10 seconds to be
certain that the lifter has an adequate bite on the rim. If the bite is
adequate, proceed to the next step.
Step 5: Transport the drum to the desired location.
a. Overhead hoist: Lift the drum ~ 5-6 inches above the ground.
Stand to the side of the drum and stabilize it by grasping the
handle. Minimize drum swing by moving the drum slowly.
b. Forklift: drive slowly, particularly while turning. The drum will
tend to swing opposite the direction of a turn, so reduce speed
during all turns. The drum will swing out in front of the forklift
during braking. Apply the brakes gradually to minimize
Step 6: Before lowering the drum, make sure that it is not swinging or
spinning. Slowly lower the drum until there is slack in the hoist chain.
Step 7: Press the lifting arm down to open the jaws. Then, disengage
the FDT from the drum lip.
Maintenance:
Before using the lifter for the first time, make a written record of its appearance. Include observations about pivot
point hardware, the jaws, the shackle and shackle pin, and the arms. This record establishes “normal condition”.
During future inspections, compare your observations to the written record to determine if the unit is in normal
condition. DO NOT use the FDT unless it is in normal condition.
Visually examine the drum lifter before it is used for the first time, as well as before and during each lift. In
particular, examine:
1. Shackle and shackle pin: make sure that the shackle and pin are not bent, cracked, or severely worn. The
opening in the lifting arm for the shackle should not be stretched, bent or cracked.
2. Lifting arm and latching arm: confirm that both arms are in normal condition. Jaw parts should be solidly welded
to the arms.
3. Make a dated record of the repairs, adjustments and/or replacements made.
If repairs are necessary, only install manufacturer-approved replacement parts. Deformities, cracks, and severe
wear of either arm warrants immediate replacement of the entire unit.
