Abstract: A left truck engageable carriage that removably supports a number of stocks of cylindrical drums in side by side abutting contact to provide a unitized assembly that may be transported as such on a flat bed truck or flat car. The carriage is particularly adapted for use with empty drums and minimizes the individual handling of the latter as they are returned by users to a facility for cleaning and refurbishing, as well as minimizing handling when the cleaned drums are forwarded to a user for filling with a desired liquid product.
