Abstract: An apparatus and assembly is easily mounted to a vehicle of the type that is often used to lift objects, such as a fork truck. The apparatus and assembly is configured with a front end that has two opposing forks, or support members. Situated on top of each support member is a hinged plate. Each hinged plate is normally disposed in a horizontal plane, but can be pivoted upwardly relative to a hinge. Each plate also comprises an arcuate portion that faces inwardly relative to the support members. The arcuate portions of the plates form part of a round circumferential diameter to that substantially matches the diameter of a barrel. This diameter, however, is less than the diameter of an upper rim of the barrel and is less than any horizontally-disposed reinforcing billets that are defined in the sidewalls of the barrel.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for supporting vehicle body parts to be worked upon, and the method includes the steps of supporting a vehicle body part, such as a car door, on a mobile jack and moving the body part to apparatus which supports the body part after the apparatus is withdrawn. The apparatus includes an enclosure frame which is horizontally disposed and which has two separable sections so that the body part can be placed within the confines of one of the sections, and the other section can then be assembled with the first section for completely supporting the vehicle body part for working thereon.
