Handling heavy industrial drums with bare forklift forks is not only inefficient—it’s downright dangerous. Whether you're managing a warehouse, manufacturing line, or chemical plant, manually tilting or securing a drum for pouring can lead to spills, product loss, or even serious injuries. That’s where the Morse Model 285A Forklift-Karrier steps in—a precision-engineered solution designed to make drum lifting, tilting, and pouring safer, faster, and smarter.

Engineered for Safety and Precision

The Model 285A is a manual drum tilt control attachment that mounts easily onto your forklift. With its pull chain-operated gear mechanism, it allows the operator to rotate a drum 360° forward or back, giving full control for precise dispensing into a vat, hopper, or mixer—all from the safety of your forklift seat.

Key Technical Features of the Model 285A:

• Manual Pull Chain Tilt Control
  Effortlessly rotate drums forward or backward through a full 360° for controlled, smooth pouring.
• MORCINCH™ Drum Handling System
  Automatically adapts to hold standard 22" to 23.5" (56 to 59.7 cm) diameter drums, ensuring secure handling of steel drums.
• Adaptable for Various Drum Types: Add a MORCINCH™ Kit to handle plastic or fiber drums / Insert the correct Diameter Adapter to securely grip smaller drums.
• Optional MORStop™ Tilt-Brake
  We recommend upgrading with this automatic tilt-holding brake—it locks the drum’s tilt angle until the operator intentionally changes it. Perfect for applications requiring pause or precision during dispensing.
• Forklift Compatibility: Designed to be safely mounted on forklift forks—no tools required / Requires 25" (63.5 cm) spacing between forks for optimal installation.
