MORSE Forklift Karrier for steel drums slides quickly and easily onto forks without tools - no modifications or connections to the lift truck are required. Fork openings are 25 inches apart, accepts forks up to 2 1/2 inch x 6 1/2 inch. The Forklift Karrier has an 800 lb. capacity or 500 lb half drum capacity. A half full drum will be unbalanced and bottom heavy so when you tilt it, the load shifts differently than if it were a full drum.
