Warehouse worker manually handles large barrel

Scene 1
Character walks into shot in a warehouse environment, approaching a large barrel marked with a weight of 80kg. The character braces itself, hunched over the barrel, gripping both sides of the barrel.

Slowly and with great effort and strain the character tilts the barrel back slightly, and then forward using the weight of its own body, with the barrel held on a slight tilt, the character rolls the barrel on the edge of its base, out of screen.

Scene 3
Character walks into shot (warehouse environment) approaching a barrel mounted on a specialised trolley. The trolley consists of three wheels on a semi-circular base with a handle that extends upward from a base at the trolleys rear. A safety clip holds the barrel securely in place.
