Bare fork drum handling isn’t just inefficient—it’s a serious safety hazard. Whether you're working with steel or plastic 55-gallon drums, the Morse Omni-Lift Drum Racker (405 Series) offers a safer, more ergonomic, and highly precise alternative.

With the ability to rack drums up to 6 feet high (72" / 183 cm) and handle both upright and horizontal orientations—even with a faucet installed—the 405 Series helps streamline your drum storage, pouring, and transfer operations.

Precision Engineering Meets Powerful Versatility

The Omni-Lift Drum Racker is designed to lift, move, rotate, and rack RIMMED 55-gallon (210L) drums—whether steel or plastic—securely and efficiently, all while being operable by a single user.

Key Technical Features:

• Handles full drums up to 800 lb (363 kg) and half-full drums up to 500 lb (227 kg)*
• Racks drums horizontally or vertically, even with a drum faucet in place
• Lifts up to 72" (183 cm) high for easy racking
• Heavy-duty hydraulic lift cylinder with velocity fuse for automatic shut-off in line failure
• Web strap and ratchet system with chine catches for secure drum retention
• Moves easily on 8” main wheels and 4” rear casters (clearance required under shelf)

*Note: Half-full rating reflects handling of unbalanced, bottom-heavy loads.

Multiple Power & Control Options to Fit Your Workflow

Choose the movement control setup that best fits your application, from manual to fully powered configurations:

Available Motion Combinations:

• Manual: Hand pump lift + hand crank tilt (Model 405)
• AC 1-phase Power: Power lift + manual tilt (Model 405-120) / Power lift + power tilt (Model 405-110)
• Air Power (Pneumatic): Power lift + manual tilt (Model 405-124) / Power lift + power tilt (Model 405-114)
• 12V DC Battery Power: Battery lift + manual tilt (Model 405-125) / Battery lift + power tilt (Model 405-115)

Each model is available with optional MORStop™ Tilt-Brake, which prevents dangerous over-rotation and provides smooth, controlled tilting in either direction.
