When lifting heavy drums in sanitary or corrosive environments, the last thing you want to compromise on is safety or material integrity. Traditional lifting devices can fall short — leading to dangerous tilting, improper grips, or materials that corrode over time. That’s where the Model 86-SS Stainless Steel Drum Lifter from Morse comes in.

Designed specifically for clean environments and rugged applications, the Model 86-SS is a precision-engineered, below-the-hook drum lifting device that gives you the strength of 304 stainless steel, the security of load-tested performance, and the confidence of ANSI/ASME compliance — all in one reliable unit.

KEY FEATURES OF MODEL 86-SS

Hygienic, Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Construction

Built from Type 304 stainless steel and a bead-blast finish, the 86-SS is ideal for applications in food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and washdown environments.

• Corrosion-resistant frame: Long-lasting performance in harsh or sanitary settings
• Bead-blast finish: Clean look, reduced surface contamination risk
• Certified welds: Welds comply with ANSI/AWS D14.1 and ASME BTH-1, performed by certified welders
• Not ground or polished welds: For those who value structural integrity over cosmetic appearance

Safe, Upright Drum Handling
The model 86-ss is purpose-built for vertical drum lifting—no tilt function means better control and stability during the lift.
