Abstract
An attachment for a fork lift is provided. The attachment includes two arcuate members which are pivotally connected. The arcuate members have gripping surfaces which approximate a radius of curvature of a cylindrical drum of known dimensions. The gripping members are pivoted together to pivot between open and closed positions. In the closed positions, the gripping surfaces assume the external surface of the drum.
