Nifty Barrel Lifter
"I designed and made my first barrel lifter 5 years ago to handle oil barrels, chemical barrels, trash barrels, and so on. I couldn't find anything like it on the market," says Joe Holden, New Prague, Minn., about his clamp-on lifter for 55-gal. drums.
It's made out of a 3/16-in. thick, 1-in. wide steel strap fitted with an over-center clamp. It fastens just below the rim of a barrel. Short pieces of chain are welded to either side of the lift strap and a 1-in. sq. piece of steel tubing, that acts as a "spreader", welds to chain links just above the lift strap.
