Abstract
A molded plastic drum storage and/or transportation device has an inner wall conforming to a drum to be carried or stored. An outer wall is spaced from the inner wall to create a containment space therebetween. One end of the cart has a recess for collecting spills or overflow from the drum. Apertures in the recess allow fluid to flow into the containment space where it is held until emptied through a drain hole. According to one aspect of this invention, the device is tiltable and has wheels to facilitate transport of the drum. According to another aspect of the invention, the device is stationary and is adapted to store multiple drums in spaced horizontal adjacency and, with a drum spacer, in spaced vertical adjacency.
