ABSTRACT:
A pair of rigid, spaced apart arms (30,31)extend outwardly to one side from the upper end of an upright, tiltable frame 20 and a pair of spaced apart wheels 40 extend outwardly to the one side from the lower end of the upright frame for transportably supporting the frame on a flat surface. A rigid lever arm 50 and rest 60 affixed to the frame extend from the other side of the upright frame. The spacing between the arms and wheel supports is predetermined to allow the arms to be engaged underneath the upper rim adjacent the widest diameter of a standard, hot, sealed, 55 gallon drum filled with cooked food products and liquid by raising the lower arm and moving the arms into position under the rim until a restraining strap contacts the drum cylindrical wall. The drum is then lifted by pulling down on the lever arm fulcruming on the wheel support points to swing the bottom end of the drum inboardly while supported at its upper end on the arms until the center of gravity of the drum positioned directly over the wheel support points on the surface and the drum straddled by the wheel supports. The drum may be easily transported in this position, or put at rest by further lowering the lever arm until rest 60 contacts the surface and the center of gravity of the drum is intermediate the three-point surface contact. A single operator performs the entire moving operation without any personnel touching the drum.
