will this work with 55 gallon poly drums with a lip?

Designed and used with steel drums, but poly barrels are pretty tough and usually have a larger lip. I think it would work fine.

Will it work on 55 gal plastic drums

Yes. I have used it several times to lift plastic drums.

will this safely lift 30 gallon drums?

Yes. I use this drum clamp to unload a 30 gal. plastic drum of diesel fuel from my pickup. Works great, however I suggest a second person to hold clamp in place during the pick sequence.

will this work with a 16 gallon open-top barrel?

It should fit the 16 gallon drum just fine. HOWEVER, keep in mind the weight of a full drum and lifting from 2 opposite points, it would be weaker than a drum with a lid in place to keep the structure stronger.
