Pallet Jackpot

My neighbor has 6 of those and loves them, they do warp a little if you have a heavy green load on them, but still much better than wood pallets.

Love to get my hands on those but they want green backs for them here. On the other hand just scored a source for those 250gal. bottle cages free- about a face cord fits in each one stacked tightly (44 cu ft, quick tape measurement). Not exactly sure how I will use them yet (I have a feeling if the are out in view with wood in them the city will get its hair all messed up) but I can stack them out of sight in back. Will have to make forks for tractor that replace bucket- don't have quick attach and those that would slip on bucket would reduce lifting power unacceptably. ( got watch out for that front axle)

My facility may be tossing 1500 of them. I'll keep you guys posted.

I'm able to get a few more. If anyone is near me by the Jersey shore I can give you a few.

Which shore?

Yes.

Very handy for piling wood on. I got 4 dozen or so a couple years ago, $3 each.

I want some of those!! Any particular place you find them?

Score lol

They just toss the pallets in a pile and then throw them in a dumpster eventually.

What a waste.

I use them. Wood may slide a little if they aren't level. But they are sooo worth using. I replaced all my wood pallets with them. Been using them for many years. Just don't step on them with snow on your boots in the winter!! You will go for a ride.

Nice score! I'd love to have some of those. As far as bending under the weight... I'd be happy to scrounge or even buy enough cinder blocks to support them well.

I saw a CL ad a while back for 50 of them, but my truck was down and I couldn't go get them.

I haven't been able to find any new pallets lately. Something I'm thinking of using instead is to cut some juniper (people round here call it cedar, but that's not what it is), and put one layer of that on the ground and stack the firewood on top. By spacing it out and laying the first layer of firewood perpendicular to the juniper, I could make it go a long way. I have plenty growing on my property. Probably better to wait until the sap has fallen before cutting for that purpose. Wonder if anyone has tried that.

I do that a lot. keep as level as possible and stack away. Use them for ends also

/sigh/

I saw a CL ad for FIFTY of them a couple of months back, but my truck was down and I couldn't go after them. They didn't last long!
