Abstract
An ecological carriage for drums is described which is constituted by a metallic structure and a basin. The drum is disposed with an horizontal axis and rests on the metallic structure. The basin is below the drum and functions as a bowl to collect fluids, mineral oils and similar fluids which are lost or spilled during the decanting or due to rupture of the drum. This assembly is mounted on a base provided with wheels. The carriage is characterized by the fact that the structure supporting the drum is capable of rotating from a position essentially horizontal to a position essentially vertical and vice versa.
Claims11
An ecological carriage for a liquid containing drum, said carriage comprising:
- a base mounted on wheels;
- a metal support structure mounted on said base for supporting the drum in a horizontal position on said carriage, said support structure being adapted for rotation so as to move said drum from a horizontal position to a vertical position and vice versa;
- and
- a basin mounted on said base disposed beneath said drum to collect liquid spilled during decanting or due to rupture of the drum, said basin being slidably movable from a position completely under said drum when said drum is supported by said support structure in the horizontal position to a lateral position so as to permit said drum to be moved to the vertical position by the rotation of said support structure.
