5 gallon bucket carrier ??

[n***@yahoo.com]

i was looking online for what seemed like an obvious product but i
couldn't find it. does anybody know of a backpack-style carrier for
carrying 5 gallon buckets. i would have thought it was an obvious
product for carrying buckets up stairs or over uneven terrain or any
time you wanted your hands free.

This would seem like an odd way of carrying things around - a 5 gallon
bucket with anything sufficiently heavy would shift your center of gravity
so much you\'d have to be hunched over the the point where it would be
hard to walk.

There must be easier ways to carry whatever it is you were planning to put
in that bucket, at least different shape containers, ones that don\'t
stick out so much. There certainly are better backpack style containers
for water if that was the application.

It would be more trouble than it's worth to hump a sixty pound pack
onto and off of your back to go up one flight of stairs. That's what
you're market is - residential, and the typical guy doing residential
work isn't going to spend money buying some doo-hickey. There's also
a safety factor involved. Why would you want your hands free when
you're carrying something? Only reason I can think of is so you can
carry something else, and there's the safety issue - a guy overloading
himself, taking a tumble, and suing your ass for marketing a patently
unsafe product.

Actually I had no intention of carrying 60lbs of compound up the
stairs. I do small plumbing repairs in old tenement buildings with
narrow, often obstructed staircases. I carry 15-30lbs of tools and
parts up alot of stairs in the bucket and also use the bucket to catch
water while i am making repairs. So a bucket carrier seemed like a
good solution.

Here you go. Carry the tools up in a 5 gallon pail, remove the tool bag
to use the empty pail for the water drips.

They make carriers for 5 gallon glass carboys, you should be able to use the same one for a bucket. Might not be what you're looking for, but it's a place to start.

There are also folks who made their own using a fisherman's caddy.
