ABSTRACT:
A barrel handling and dumping device for use with a fork lift truck comprises a barrel support plate and a pair of laterally spaced rearwardly extending bracket arms hinged to their front edges to the underface of the support plate and overlying the fork tongues and anchored thereto by pairs of longitudinally spaced collars affixed to the underfaces of the bracket arms and slidably engaging the torques, the arms being locked in position by set screws. Front and rear chains attached to the support plate carry hooks engaging the barrel rim, one of the chains having a chain tightener toggle member and an upwardly propelling stop member is located at the support plate front border, actuating arm projects forwardly medially from the support plate. To dump a barrel carried by the support plate the truck is advanced to bring the actuating arm beneath a rearwardly projecting tripping projection on the upper part of a receiver, and the fork raised to bring the actuating member into enagement with the trip and then advanced and raised to invert the barrel.
