c. Drum-handling attachment. The drum-handling
attachment is a device capable of handling filled 55-
gallon drums by means of a forklift truck. Three types
of attachments are available.  The first consists of a
series of specially shaped and spaced forks that cradle
the drums to be handled (fig 4-47).  This type of
attachment handles three filled drums at one time. The
second type of attachment, which is mounted on the
regular truck forks, consists of side rails from which
specially designed hooks are suspended at front and
rear. The attachment is lowered over the drums until
the hooks drop into position over the drum rims (fig 4-
48). This type of attachment handles two filled drums at
one time.  The third type of device is hydraulically
operated, attaches easily to the hydraulic system of a
gas or propane-operated forklift truck and can be easily
removed in minutes. The various applications include
tilting, dumping, stacking, transporting, and lifting of 55-
gallon drums using a forklift truck (fig 4-49).
