Plastic Barrel Sling
Here are some pictures of a plastic barrel sling that works well in our shop. Plastic drums of oil are hard to handle without a special grapple. I make a double 90? bracket to firmly grasp the bottom of the barrel. The barrel sling has a pivotal grabber that has a 90? angle embodied to increase the holding force proportionately to the weight being lifted. This sling can be used with overhead hoists or tractors and loaders. It can be built in any shop with a hydraulic press and a welder.
