apart. Each opening is 2.5" (6.35 cm) high by 6.5" (16.5 cm) wide.
Pull-chain loop allows drum tilt control from the driver's seat of your fork truck
with 20' (6.1 m) chain loop providing a 10' (3 m) drop of chain for operator to

level. When the drum holder meets the center of the drum, dismount and screw down
safety locks to grip forks, then secure the drum by cinching the binder (shown
below). Raise the carriage and travel to dumping location. Without leaving the seat,
pull the chain loop for complete control of drum tilting. Model 285A-BP, provides a
two-button pendant for battery powered drum tilt control. Tilt drum for dumping then
