Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus is disclosed that serves as an attachment for a forklift truck or the like for handling multiple drums simultaneously. The drums to be transported are arranged symmetrically in a cluster about a central vertical axis. The apparatus includes a slidable suspension plate that connects to a latching device adapted to clamp onto the rim of each drum in the cluster. The sliding movement of the suspension plate is confined to a linear path of travel by guide rails. The limited forward/rearward linear movement aids in locating the clamping device accurately relative to the central vertical axis of the cluster.
