Using the overhead drum lifter is quite straightforward. First, make sure the drum you want to lift is either 30 or 55 gallons and made of steel, plastic, or fiber with a maximum diameter of 24 - 5/8 inches. If you're using an overhead crane, attach the lifter to it properly. Place the drum in the steel saddle and use the ratchet strap to secure it tightly. When you're ready, lift the drum straight up as this lifter is non - tilting and designed only for vertical lifting. If you need to transport the drum with a forklift, simply use the integral fork pockets. As for maintenance, keep the lifter clean and dry. Check the ratchet strap regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If there are any issues with the powder - coated finish, touch it up to prevent rusting. Remember, all the measurements provided are approximate, so expect some slight variations. Also, the weights shown are for shipping, so the actual weight may differ a bit.
