Abstract: A concrete test-cylinder carrying apparatus includes a handle, a base-plate, a plurality of anchor rods engaged with the handle and a plurality support rings horizontally aligned above the base plate. Concrete test cylinders are removably positioned through the support rings and rest on the base plate such that test cylinders are swiftly transported between remote locations. In an alternate embodiment, a first mechanism may be provided for uniformly reciprocating a male handle portion along a linear travel path to absorb operating forces exerted on the concrete test cylinders during transport procedures. A second mechanism may be provided for uniformly articulating the male handle portion along clockwise and counter clockwise arcuate paths to further absorb operating forces exerted on the concrete test cylinders during transport.
