Abstract

The invention consists of an improvement to a four-wheel device used to lift drums with compressed air stored in an on-board storage tank without special straps, tools or clamps that allows the operator to lift the drum with no physical stress and to roll the drum to another location with minimum effort and allows force measuring (weighing) of the drum.
