I am looking for a barrel handler, all three standard diameters/heights 22.5", 18.25", 14" diameter. This is for a BX. This is home/light farm so don't need hydraulic anything. Your experience/best thoughts. Thank you!

Ratcheting tie straps and your bucket works if you are just handling them once in a while. I prefer pallet forks and keeping the 50 gallon barrels on pallets for moving to different heights. Small barrels and be rolled by hand.
If you need an easy way to roll barrels around the shop I use these

vertical or horizontal ? on concrete or gravel ? short or long hauls ?
I made some 'donut' adapters to move small diameter barrels with a normal(PA) dolly..so 'one size fits all'.
Also modified a 2 wheel dolly to haul them,best to have 'flatfree' tires though !

Hello Challer61,
I used to work in the materials handling industry. Fork mounted drum handlers are common items. Adjustable units are available for 30/50 gal barrels. Maybe this link will get you started.

Thank you. Saw the Goodwin and that is my leaning. Want to also get the smaller diameters as well. I will also be getting those dollies. While I've used Rachel straps for many things likely beyond their design limits, a dropped drum can be very bad (ask me how I know). It will mostly be lube, fuel and well, 223/308.

If you go to the LK Goodwin home page and look at Drum Handling - All types you will find more ideas. Try using this link for even more ideas.
Good luck with it. Please let us know how you do.
