Morspeed Forklift Attachments

Click here for a List of Models and Specifications >>

All MORSpeed Forklift Attachments allow you to grab, lift, move and place drums in minimum time without leaving the driver's seat of your fork truck. Raise and lower the forks to grab and release drums. The massive steel jaws are contoured to securely grasp the drum. They are completely mechanical and automatic.

Forklift Attachment

MORSpeed will work with straight walled drums or even deformed ribs, since it does not depend on the drum ribs or friction. No modifications to your truck. Nothing out of the ordinary for the operator to do either. Just raise and lower the forks and drive forward and back as necessary.

MORSpeed is designed to handle virtually any common rimmed drum, whether steel (closed head or removable top with clamp ring), plastic (with non-removable top) or fiber (with metal clamp ring closure) in a wide range of sizes and weights. Plastic drum manufacturers have designed their drums with rims to be lifted by this rim-gripping action. Contact Morse for advice on suitability of unusual drums or rim shapes.

MORSpeed models will handle rimmed steel, fiber or plastic drums. They require a minimum drum height of 24", but will handle any diameter. They work with or without pallets, and even with damaged or straight walled drums. The minimum weight per drum required to actuate the jaws is 75 Lb. on a model with one head per drum and 350 Lb. with two heads per drum.

Operation of Forklift Attachments

Grab, lift, move and place drums without the operator leaving driver's seat. MORSpeed TM forklift attachments mount on forks in seconds without any tools. Fork pocket openings are 6.5" wide x 2.125" high and 16.5" apart.

Raise and lower forks to actuate the drum grab... No manual contact with the drums. Completely Mechanical and Automatic drum grab requires no power source. Massive steel jaws of the MORSpeed TM forklift attachments are contoured to securely grasp drum rim.

MORSpeeds TM with Spark Resistant Parts

Head and jaws that grip drum, and backrest, are made of spark resistant monel. Spark resistant parts reduce the possibility of mechanical sparks. They are not a substitute for grounding and bonding to prevent static discharge.

Belted backrest

Optional Belted Backrest

Belted backrest pad equips MORSpeed TM forklift attachments with a 12" high fabric belt. It contacts the side of your drum to help protect from being marred in handling. It is available as a bolt-on accessory. Order one for each drum position on MORSpeed TM.
