natural or legal person who either uses the unit themselves, or on whose behalf it is used.

In special cases (e.g. leasing or renting) the proprietor is considered the person who, in

accordance with existing contractual agreements between the owner and user of the

unit, is charged with operational duties. The proprietor must ensure that the unit is used

only for the purpose for which it is intended and that there is no danger to life or limb of

the user and third parties. Furthermore, accident prevention regulations, safety

regulations and operating, maintenance and repair guidelines must be followed. The

applies if improper work is carried out on the unit by the proprietor or third parties

without the permission of the manufacturer.

Adding Attachments and/or Accessories

The mounting or installation of additional equipment which affects or enhances the

performance of the unit requires written permission of the manufacturer. Local authority

approval may also need to be obtained. Local authority approval does not however

constitute the manufacturer’s approval. An onsite risk assessment must then be carried

out.

The hazardous area is defined as the area in which a person is at risk due to the unit itself

or movement of the unit and/or load. This also includes areas which can be reached by

falling loads. The operator must:

•Instruct unauthorised personnel to leave the hazardous area.

•Give a warning signal with plenty of time for personnel to leave.

•Stop all operations if unauthorised personnel are within or enter the hazardous

Travel conduct

The operator must adapt the travel speed to local conditions. The unit must be driven at

slow speed when negotiating bends or narrow passageways, when passing through

swing doors and at blind spots. Abrupt stopping (except in emergencies), rapid U turns

and overtaking at dangerous or blind spots are not permitted. When not in use, the

equipment should be parked in a safe location with the brakes engaged.

aggressive substances such as chemicals, fertilizers, salt, etc. It is recommended to use

detergent and a damp cloth to clean the body of the unit. Do not use flammable liquids

to clean the unit. Do not clean the unit with pressurised water. If the unit is rated for ATEX

environments, the unit must be kept clean and dust free.

5 Operating Instructions: DTP05(-Ex)

Personal protective equipment (PPE)

PPE must be worn at all times. A minimum of safety shoes must be worn while operating

the unit. Safety shoes, safety glasses, protective gloves, hearing protection and

maintenance. When operating overhead loads, a hard hat must be worn. End user

health and safety procedures and best practices should be followed in addition to the

above recommendations.

Consumables and Parts

Environmental hazards

Parts and oils must be disposed of in accordance with the relevant environmental

protection regulations.

cause injury and infection. The hydraulic hoses should only be serviced or replaced by a

competent individual as selected by the company the equipment is intended for use

with. It is the responsibility of the proprietor to maintain the hydraulic hoses.

Lift chains (if applicable)

Incorrectly cleaned chains can cause accidents. Lift chains are safety-critical parts.

They must not contain any serious contamination. Lift chains and pivot pins must always

be clean. Never clean chains with high pressure steam jet cleaners, cold or chemical

cleaning agents. It is recommended to clean the chains and pivot pins in an unloaded

state with a citrus cleaner to remove dirt and grime followed by the application of a

PTFE based industrial grade chain lubrication spray or food grade lubrication spray.

NOTE:

For more consumable information refer to ‘Section IV – Unit Maintenance,

Troubleshooting and Consumables’.

Operational hazards

Processing of liquids or suspensions (mixing or stirring, filling or draining) can give r ise to

ignition risks due to static electricity including the risk of propagating brush discharges.

The processing of liquids or suspensions is the responsibility of the end user.

Environmental hazards

Care should be taken by the end user to ensure collisions do not occur between the unit

and its surrounding environments which may create a potential ignition source.

Earthing chains

Ensure earthing chains are securely fitted and are in contact with the ground at all

times, wheels should be kept clean and free from debris.

Section II –Unit Description

The drum depalletiser is designed for lifting, lowering and transporting drums around the

workplace as well as on and off of pallets. The instructions in this manual should be adhered

to at all times, failure to do so could result in minor or serious injury to the operator and/or

other personnel.

The unit incorporates enclosed, smooth geometry with rounded edges to ensure safe

handling of the unit. The unit is fitted with a fully enclosed ram which is operated from the

rear of the unit to keep operator’s limbs away from dangerous machinery movement.

THE SAFE WORKING LOAD (SWL) OF THIS UNIT IS 350KG

THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED FOR USE ON FLAT AND LEVEL FLOORS ONLY

ATEX CERTIFICATION

If the equipment supplied has (-Ex) in the product code, it has been certified by STS for use in

Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 areas for protection under constructional safety “c” and control of

ignition source “b”.

9 Operating Instructions: DTP05(-Ex)

Section III –Unit Operation

IMPORTANT

Before using this unit, operators must read and understand this instruction manual. Failure to

observe the instructions in this manual will invalidate the warranty.

NOTE: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn at all times, see ‘Section I – Correct

Use and Application’ for more information.

Initial Setup and Connecting to Drums

Each depalletiser is fitted with a universal drum catch which is adjustable in both height

(vertical) and reach (horizontal). This unique adjustability means that each lifter can handle a

wide variety of drum types and sizes commonly found in the workplace.

•Ensure the rack is lowered fully so that all the vertical lift stroke is available; this is done by

turning the lowering lever anticlockwise.

WARNING –DO NOT ROTATE THE LOWERING LEVER CLOCKWISE AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE

UNIT.

•There are multiple rungs to which the drum catch can be secured, removing the lowest

pin allows removal of the catch from the rack. It can then be relocated and the pin

reinserted on a rung so that the catch is positioned below the lip of the drum.

•Manoeuvre the depalletiser using the handle, being sure to keep good posture.

Operators should move gently while manoeuvring, whilst planning ahead in good time.

Ensure that when not in use, the unit is parked on flat and level ground with the brakes

engaged.

•Line up the lifter with the centreline of the drum.
