Trigger Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I am looking for a barrel lifter. I am tired of digging out frozen ones in the winter and trying to stand them up in the slippery mud in the summer. As compact as possible, maybe even a 2 piece system if available. Any info on where to get one would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphibious Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 no shortage of 100hr wonders around. Ground Crew is a nice name for Barrel Lifter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damocles Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Weld a hook onto the shaft of your bung wrench, you carry it around anyway, so it doesnt get much more compact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3BX2 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Trigger, did you see our 3 ft long "Granny" bung wrenches here? They work OK, and it's easy to make one. Get your Engineer to weld one up ..... that Or hire James .. strong like Bull ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I wish that I had an engineer 3BX2. I really don't like having to do all the work around here. Maybe I could rent James from you. Couple pesos a week sound about right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamanated Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 http://www.beacontechnology.com/drumequipm...nt/drumupender/ is what we used. came from acklands ,you can grind the bottom tabs to fit into a shell bung or an esso one and make one a bit sharp to rip the plastic seal off.

Skids Up Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 3 feet of steel - 40 bucks - must be good steel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highgear Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 weld a good strong little tang onto the bung wrench, then use the standpipe for a little extra leverage. or let me make you as many as you need for a small fee!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
