<p>A drum lifting apparatus (10) includes a lifting beam (32) having first and second ends (40, 42). A first flange (44) is fixedly attached to the first end of the beam and extends laterally therefrom. A first drum lip engagement means 48 extends from the first flange (44) for engaging an annular lip (24) of a first end of the drum (12). A second end of the beam has a shoulder (50) defined thereon and has a threaded rod (52) fixedly attached to the beam and extending from the shoulder. A releasable second flange (58) has an opening therethrough through which the threaded rod (52) is loosely received so that the second flange may slide on the rod and engage the shoulder of the lifting beam. The second flange (58) extends laterally from the rod and has a second drum lip engagement means 62 extending therefrom toward the first flange for engaging a second annular lip (26) on a second end of the drum. A threaded nut (76) engages the threaded rod on a side of the second flange opposite the shoulder of the lifting beam for clamping the second flange against the end of the drum. A lifting eye may be fixedly attached to the lifting beam substantially midway between the first and second ends of the beam for engagement by a crane or the like.</p> |
