Abstract
The drum retainer includes a platform for supporting a plurality of drums thereon in an upright condition. A hold-down mechanism extends upright from the platform with the drums arranged circumferentially relative thereto. The hold-down mechanism engages the tops of the drums and provides for their securement between the hold-down mechanism and the platform. The platform is spaced above the floor by floor contacting members having teeth that penetrate the floor by virtue of the weight of the drum laden retainer to generally restrain the drum retainer against movement.
