BucketGrips Easy-Grip Side Handles | Pair of Ergonomic Carrying Handles for 2, 3 & 5-Gallon Buckets

Carry Heavy Buckets Comfortably with Two Hands

BucketGrips Easy-Grip Side Handles provide a smarter and more comfortable way to carry loaded buckets. This set includes two ergonomic handles that clip directly onto the upper rim of most standard 2, 3, and 5-gallon buckets, creating balanced gripping points on both sides.

Instead of lifting a heavy bucket by a narrow wire handle, BucketGrips allow you to use both hands and keep the load closer to your body. The two-handle design helps distribute the bucket’s weight more evenly, making it easier to transport gravel, concentrates, water, tools, feed, gardening supplies, and other heavy materials.

BucketGrips can remain attached while using a bucket lid or liner. When they are not needed, the two handles clip together for convenient storage.

Why Choose BucketGrips Side Handles?

Traditional bucket handles place the entire load in one hand and can create painful pressure points, especially when carrying heavy gravel, water, concentrates, or equipment.

BucketGrips add a handle to each side of the bucket, allowing you to lift with both hands. This gives you greater control over the load and helps distribute the weight more evenly.

The side-mounted design is also helpful when plants, tools, or other contents extend above the bucket rim and make the original wire handle difficult or impossible to use.

Make Your Existing Buckets Easier to Carry

Clip one BucketGrip onto each side of the bucket rim. Position the handles opposite one another to create two balanced lifting points.

Grip both handles and lift evenly, keeping the bucket close to your body. When the handles are not needed, remove them and clip them together for compact storage.

Always inspect the bucket, rim, and handles before lifting. Do not carry loads that exceed the bucket manufacturer’s weight recommendations, and discontinue use if the bucket rim is cracked or damaged.

BucketGrips™ – The Smarter Way to Carry 5-Gallon Buckets

Originally designed to solve a common problem in the gardening world, BucketGrips were born out of necessity. Gardeners using 5-gallon buckets to grow plants often found themselves stuck—once the plant outgrew the rim, the wire handle became unusable or awkward at best.

These ergonomic handles evenly distribute the bucket’s weight, making it easier and more comfortable to carry heavy loads with two hands.

What started in the garden has now expanded across industries—construction, fishing, farming, landscaping, and more. Whether you're hauling tools, feed, garden supplies, or freshly caught fish, BucketGrips help you carry it all without strain.

And best of all? No need to toss those buckets when the wire handle breaks. Just snap on your BucketGrips and get back to work.
