Machine Description

The Model 900 < PILOT > Power-Propelled Drum Pourer will pour a drum at up to 

10.5’ (3.2 m) high, measured from the floor to the lowest point of a horizontal drum. It is 

designed to lift, transport, and dispense a ribbed 55-gallon (210 liter) steel drum 22.5” 

(57 cm) in diameter, as well as a fiber drum between 22” and 23.5” (56 to 59.7 cm) in 

diameter. 

The maximum full-drum capacity is 1500 Lb. (680 kg) The capacity is derated to 800 Lb. 

(363 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

required

 to handle a plastic 

drum without a top rim (see figure 2.1). It is also recommended to more 

securely handle a fiber drum. You can use the Bracket Assembly with 

a 55-gallon (210 liter) 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” (79 to 99 cm) 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 figure 2.2). To 

handle a 55-gallon (210 liter) plastic drum with top rim, you 

must

 install 

either the Bracket Assembly or the Top Rim Clamp. You can use the Top 

Rim Clamp with a 55-gallon (210 liter) plastic, steel or fiber drum with
