The fork insertion frame 1 is a U-shaped lower frame member 1a.
And is formed in an elongated box shape in which a limited insertion gap 1b is defined by using the drum can mounting portion 2 as an upper frame member, and guides the fork Fa of the forklift F to be inserted into a fixed position. The inserted fork Fa can be prevented from shifting.

The drum can mounting portion 2 is made up of four elongated plate mounting plates 2a connected by a reinforcing plate 2b and fixed to the upper portion of the fork insertion frame 1 with their ends aligned. The two mounting plates 2a are formed in parallel with the convex parallel 2 formed on the drum D.
A receiving groove 2c capable of fitting and supporting the bead Da of the strip is formed, and is arranged in parallel with an interval so that the peripheral surface Db of the drum D can be mounted. In addition, a safety plate 2d for preventing the worker's feet from being caught is stretched between a pair of two mounting plates 2a.
The safety plate 2d is made of expanded metal having a braided structure in order to secure lightness and shock absorption.

An end of the upper surface of the mounting plate 2a of the drum can mounting portion 2 to which the fork insertion frame 1 is fixed is provided with a triangular mountain shape for preventing rolling of the drum D mounted on the drum can mounting portion. The rolling stopper 3 is fixed. Further, on the side surface of the mounting plate 2a of the drum can mounting portion 2 where the fork insertion frame 1 is fixed, a retaining hole plate 4 for preventing the fork Fa from coming off of the forklift F is fixed. A retaining bar 5 is inserted through the retaining hole plate 4 so as to prevent the fork Fa from coming off of the forklift F.

In order to use this embodiment, the fork Fa of the forklift F is inserted into the fork insertion frame 1 and the retaining rod 5 is inserted through the retaining hole plate 4, and then the lifting / lowering portion Fb of the forklift F is driven. Then, the drum mounting portion 2 is lifted to a predetermined height. Then, for example, the drum D loaded on the bed of the truck is rolled sideways, and the bead Da of the drum D is aligned with the accommodating groove 2c of the drum mounting portion 2 (see FIG. 3). D is mounted on the drum mounting portion 2 one after another. At this time, since the drum D is rolled along the accommodating groove 2c of the drum mounting part 2, the four drums D are arranged in a line in order even if the worker does not assist on the drum mounting part 2. It is mounted on the drum can mounting portion 2 (see FIG. 2).
