The corrosion inhibitor used at our water treatment plant is stored in 55‐gallon barrels, weighing 600 lb each. It is, unfortunately, necessary to move these heavy plastic barrels from our loading dock to the plant's basement. After investigating many products, we constructed our own barrel lifter. Materials and construction information are included.
