ABSTRACT:
A two-wheeled drum or barrel transporting truck slidably mounts a drum flange or chime clamp which is powered from an energy source on the truck to raise the drum for depositing the same on a pallet or the like. An electric motor driven linear actuator on the truck is energized from a battery also carried on the truck to drive the clamp. A double pole switch on or adjacent the handlebar of the truck controls a circuit to drive the motor in opposite directions. The clamp when raised against the chime ring of a barrel or drum automatically locks the drum to the truck. Rollers on the truck embrace and cradle the drum so that it is easily raised and lowered on the truck.
