Machine Description
Model 185AM
Kontrol-Karrier is designed to lift, transport, and dispense
a ribbed 55-gallon (210 liter) steel or fiber drum 22” to 23.5” (56 to 59.7
cm) in diameter. The maximum full-drum capacity is 800 Lb. (363 kg).
The capacity is derated to 500 Lb. (227 kg) for a half-full drum. The
half-full rating is based on the tilt mechanism’s capacity for handling an
unbalanced bottom-heavy drum.

the Bracket Assembly with a 55-gallon plastic, steel or fiber drum.
The brace at top and bottom of the drum prevent it from slipping
lengthways through the drum holder. It adjusts for a drum 31” to 39”
tall.

either the Bracket Assembly or the Top Rim Clamp. You can use
the Top Rim Clamp with a 55-gallon plastic, steel or fiber drum with
suitable top rim.
