Seriously, there are a few ways to get a drum off a truck (or onto it)
Lay the drum down and roll it off a plank that bridges the tailgate to
the ground
use a barrel sling and a hoist
put it on a pallet and use a forklift
Get four big dumb swedes to pick it up.
Use, or build, a loading dock.
Use or build a set of 1 or more steps to take it down a few inches at a
time. Stack 2 or 3 pallets and end over end it onto the pallets, then
onto the ground (or vice versa)
Having grown up with wood barrels and steel drums, I have used all sorts
of methods to move em.
Yesterday I loaded and unloaded a 165 lb propane tank. That is easier
than a 30 gal. barrel/drum.
Just about anyone can handle a 30 gal barrel once they know how to do it.
A 55 gallon takes a real man to lay it over or stand it up without damage.
