ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for lifting, repositioning and transporting relatively large storage drums that includes a carriage containing a movable frame in which is pivotably supported an open ended drum saddle. The saddle is made up of two parallel side rails joined together by a back rail. The distance between the side rails is less than the diameter of the drum whereby the drum can be cradled in a horizontal rest position within the saddle with one of its planar end walls seated against the back rail of the saddle and its cylindrical side wall resting between the two side rails. A cinching mechanism acts in cooperation with the saddle to securely lock the drum to the rails. In operation, adjustment of the frame and the saddle is accomplished independently to permit a drum to be lifted from either a horizontal or vertical rest position and brought to any desired secondary position within the operating range of the apparatus.
