This unit grabs upright barrels and sets them down in the same position. Although the clamping jaws are fitted with a hard rubber lining to provide a friction hold, it is the positive fit on the rim that provides extra safety. This additional feature is indispensable if the surface of the barrels is stained with oil or grease. The clamping jaws fitted with a protective lining enable the non-marring and secure grab around the circumference of the barrel. The clamp is suitable for standard type barrels.
