Abstract

Lagerbock für ein Faß (10), aufweisend zwei an der Mantelfläche des horizontal ausgerichteten Fasses anliegenden Auflager (11) und einen Rahmen (18, 19). An dem Rahmen sind Eingriffsmittel (30) für die Gabel von Gabelfahrzeugen und Kufen (31) zum Abstützen des horizontal ausgerichteten Lagerbocks sowohl auf dem Fußboden als auch in einem Lagerregal ausgebildet. Der Rahmen (18, 19) ist mit Teilen (15) zum Abstützen des Lagerbocks auf dem Fußboden neben einem stehenden Faß (10) und mit Teilen zum Untergreifen unter das Faß ausgebildet. Befestigungsmittel (17) an der Stirnseite des Rahmens (18, 19) dienen der Befestigung des Lagerbocks am Kragen (11) eines Fasses zwecks Verschwenkung des Fasses (10) aus der vertikalen in die horizontale und aus der horizontalen in die vertikale Lage.
