Abstract: The handling device is mounted on the lifting blades of a forklift truck and held in position by a safety chain. A frame includes a pair of spaced support members adapted to support the wheels of a wheel assembly therebetween. A removable adapter bar is stored on a stop plate of the frame when larger wheeled assemblies are handled, and may be moved to the outer ends of the support members when smaller wheeled assemblies are handled, in which case the bearing races at the ends of the wheel assembly are supported on conventional bearing race adapters which are supported on the stop plate and the adapter bar. The adapter bar is retained on the stop plate by a pair of spaced plates and a pin on the adapter bar which is received in a hole in the stop plate. The adapter bar is retained at the outer ends of the support members by a pair of spaced plates on one support member and a hole in the other support member which receives the pin on the adapter bar.
