Like an awful lot of things in life, sometimes technique overcomes what brute force struggles with! 
My van came with a 52 litre water barrel, now full up that weighs about 54Kg (115 lbs), yes I'm robust enough to lift it, but you learn to manoeuvre it in such ways as you don't have to lift the full weight, basically only tipping it whilst it still rests on the ground and only having to 'lift' less than half the weight. I use mine either on it's side or upright depending on what suits the pitch best, been on sloping pitches where pump only reaches 2/3 into barrel on end or 1/2 way on side, generally you can pump down to the last litre or two on it's end, but only 5 or 6 litres on it's side as pump is no longer submersed!
Never had an issue steering the barrel whilst rolling, it just follows you as you tow it, or were you pushing it! - pushing makes hard work of moving it and renders far less control!
