oak chip casks
According to Engström, a "liggare" is a "chip cask" in brewing terminology. However, I always caution against placing complete faith in this dictionary. In beer brewing there is a thing called a chip cask, which contains chips (usually oak) and, in some processes, is employed in the final refining stage in order to clarify the beer prior to bottling/kegging.

Comment: "Thanks for the tip. The document seems to distinguish between "ekfat" and "ekliggare" to brew Aquavit and other liquors. I thing an ekliggare is probably a "chip cask" as opposed to a regular cask."

Så lyder fronstyckets inskription på det stora ekfat om 24.000 liter som inköptes av grosshandlare Edward Cederlund vid Parisutställningen 1889. Fatet som sedemera skulle gå under namnet "Stora Stycket" var en ekliggare avsedd för lagring av den då mycket populära punschen från Cederlunds omfattande produktion i källarvalven under Kungliga Slottet i Stockholm.
