Abstract: A barrel dolly (10) includes a main frame (12) that has members (16, 18, 20, 22) for supporting a barrel (42) and a roller frame (14) detachable from the main frame for loading the barrel through an open end (22) of the main frame. The main frame includes bridge hooks (30) that mate with receiver notches (34) on the roller frame for attaching the roller frame to the main frame. The roller frame includes a sliding handle (38) that a user grasps to rotate the roller frame for releasing and securing the roller frame and the main frame. An optional lifting handle (54) enables the user to safely and easily load heavy barrels on the barrel dolly.
