Lifting machine for barrels onto table - has movable ramp for rolling barrel into tipping frame

摘要

The machine lifts large barrels of beer or wine onto tables, being partic. for use at public festivals. It has a movable ramp (2) up which the barrel is rolled into the tipping frame (3), and which is then used to hold it there. The top surface (3a) of the frame can be so shaped that the barrel then rolls smoothly onto the table etc. Humps (6) or a roller track can be incorporated in the frame, which can have a turning mechanism enabling the barrel to be delivered upright onto the table.
