Tim,
I don’t think it has much affect. Depending on the size of the drums, they fit nicely on a pallet, which was easier to handle. Four 55 gallon steel drums fit nicely onto a 48 inch pallet.
There is also a “gizmo” that allows a forklift to attach itself directly to a 55 gallon steel drum, one or two at a time for floor loading.
The way I read all of this the pallet didn’t show up until after cement was no longer shipped in barrels, though.

So the fork lift and the wood pallet doomed most barrel use?
