Abstract
The present invention generally relates to a keg trolley including a movable catch for catching hold under a lip of a keg. Preferably, the catch is movable so as to engage under different lips at various heights, when kegs are of different heights or placed on different types of pallets. In the preferred embodiment, the keg can be readily repositioned on a pallet by engaging the catch and moving the keg, without the need to actually touch the keg.
