Liftomatic’s HCB hoist attachment handles all 55-gal. drums

Liftomatic Material Handling Inc. has introduced the HCB hoist attachment to handle all 55-gal. drums. It lifts steel, fiber, and plastic drums weighing up to 2,000 lbs. using the manufacturer’s Parrot-Beak® drum handling attachment.

The model HCB-BC attaches to any overhead hoist, crane, or boom and engages drums automatically. The mechanical clamping system engages the top lip of the container to help ensure a safe and reliable pickup.

An adjustable counterbalance on the main frame of the unit allows for safe handling of all drums from 15 to 27 in. dia. A padded belt cradle protects the drum side wall during transport. One- and two-drum configurations are available.
