We strongly recommend our customers submit an RFQ rather than place an order on the website.

In most cases, we can provide a written quote within hours, including an accurate ship date allowing our customers to consider the delivery date when ordering.

We strive to provide accurate information on the availability of Morse equipment. Some of the factors that affect lead times are:

  • Custom equipment and equipment made of select materials built to order
  • Standard in-stock designs often require final assembly before shipment
  • Delays in components supplied by our vendors
  • Current shop backlog when placing the order

In the event of a canceled order, McBrady-McMahon may deduct cancellation charges from any refunds.

Features:

Morse® 285A-HD Forklift-Karrier for 22″ to 23.5″ diameter 55-gallon drum. 1500 lb. capacity requiring 25″ between ribs

Morse Forklift-Karriers convert your forklift into a safety-conscious drum handler to lift, move and pour a drum. Dispense a drum right from your forklift. You control drum tilting with a 20’ (6 m) long pull chain loop with a 10’ (3 m) drop. Turn drum 360o in either direction.

Quickly mount onto forks with no tools or modifications. Requires 25″ (63.5 cm) between the forks. Each fork pocket opening is 2.5″ (6.35 cm) high by 6.5″ (16.5 cm) wide.

We recommend the MORStop Tilt-Brake option to hold the drum tilt angle until you move. It automatically prevents an unbalanced drum from turning out of control, even when the contents shift from one end to the other.

It can also be ordered with Hand Crank or Hand Wheel option for use only within reach.

Modify fork truck nameplate information to reflect the capacity of fork truck with Morse attachment. Fork truck capacity can be substantially lower than the original rated capacity, as adding an attachment tends to move the center of gravity for the combined truck and load forward.
