Drop it on some old tires.


Or back the truck into a ditch and roll it off. I have done both.

 

I call my pals. LMAO!!! But if I have to do it alone I use a couple planks and roll them off.

 

roll it off the truck onto a tire carcass, don't fight it just let it go

I have also just rolled if off on a used tire.

Used to work for a part store. We would deliver drums of oil to customers with an S-10 pick up. We would stand on the ground and roll them off the tailgate sideways onto 2 dismounted tires placed on the ground that we carried in the truck for this purpose. Not the smartest way but it worked and never had one split open.

lay the drum on its side, place a tire or two on the ground and push the drum off the tailgate and onto the tires, its no big deal. you can hold onto it to keep it from rolling away.

 

Stack 2, unmounted, used tires partially under the tailgate and roll them off.

Holly Shit Treed 7 times!!!

 

Since you do not seem to have a drum clamp for a forklift or even a forklift itself, you will have to roll them down on a ramp or several wide boards like 2X10's, back the truck up to a hill to lessen the ramp height and incline and roll them off with some help from a friend or two or three. Do not attempt to do this on level ground! Dave

Same here. I use 2 2x6's with zero issue. Roll it out on it's side into the grass. Grass slows it down. Roll it into the garage and stand it up. One man job. I've heard rolling it onto the tire works just as well.

 

Sweet, sounds easy enough. Now off to NY to fill up some drums of E85 arty

 

Choker strap around the top and grab it with a engine hoist.

ok. try to follow me here.

-open the tailgate.

-get in truck.

-start truck.

-put truck in reverse.

-floor the gas pedal.

-hold it for a few seconds.

-slam on the brakes.

- once truck stops, put it in park, turn it off, get out of the truck and admire your handywork.

 

Do I need to put my beer down first or is there minimal risk of spillage?

 

Who needs tires? Just let em roll... as long as it's not a steel drum

 

Have your buddy thats videoing hold your beer.

 

pump liquid into empty drum if you have an extra one

 

Cherry picker or some lawn mower ramps.

 

I use a old race slick, works good!

I use the drum clamp outa northern tool and my engine hoist.....Works like a charm and very safe....That is the key handling fuel you know......

 

your telling me dropping a 55 gal full of fuel is a bad idea.:smt082

 

I have a ditch by my drive, I just back into the ditch, put the tailgate down, lay the drum down and roll the drum off the tailgate onto the grass.
