The Rock-It Drum Cradle is a combination drum tilter, drain stand, and dolly. Standing upright, the cradle looks like a standard dolly with a four-legged, rectangular frame extending about 20 inches out the back. A lip on the front of the dolly slips under the drum, and a latch on the top of the dolly holds the drum against the dolly as it is tipped back. The lower legs of the rectangular frame are curved so the dolly, when tipped back, "rocks" on the frame in a smooth motion until nearly horizontal. Small wheels on the back side of the frame support the load, making the now-horizontal drum mobile. Once rocked on its side, the drum can be conveniently drained.
