The invention relates to the technical field of oil drum carrying and particularly discloses a cylindrical oil drum carrying device. The cylindrical oil drum carrying device comprises three uprights and a base board for connecting the uprights. The base board is a horizontal circular board. The uprights are perpendicularly fixed to the edge of the lower side face of the base board. Connecting rods are arranged between the uprights. Bottom wheels are arranged at the lower ends of the uprights. The inner side faces of the uprights are provided with parallel lifting screws. A screw driving mechanism used for driving the lifting screws to rotate synchronously is arranged on the upper side face of the base board. Vertical guide grooves penetrating the inner sides and the outer sides of the uprights are arranged on the uprights. Clamping seats are arranged in the guide grooves. The outer ends of the clamping seats extend into the guide grooves. Clamping blocks are arranged at the inner ends of the clamping seats. Chutes inclining from the outer ends to the inner ends downwards are arranged in the clamping seats. Sliding blocks are arranged in the chutes. The lifting screws penetrate the sliding blocks and are in threaded connection with the sliding blocks. Therefore, the cylindrical oil drum carrying device has the beneficial effects of being simple in structure, small in size, stable in carrying and convenient to use.
