What are dimensions of a pallet?

[Ernest Smith]

I'm planning space in my garage and shed to store pellets and want to know the dimensions of a pallet of pellets. I'm also looking at renting a U-Haul trailer for $15.00 a day for deliveries. The smaller, open trailer's inside dimensions are 7'8" X 3"4" (L, W), which I'm sure is large enough to hold one ton. The trailer can carry at least 1,700 lbs which might be an option for others to pick up their own pellets.

40" x 48" by 42"-56" high

That 3' 4 " (40") will make for a very tight fit.

Thanks, Guess I'll have to get the next size larger trailer. It's still under $20.00 for the day.

So it will be overloaded?

So it will be overloaded?

With a larger trailer and my hitch capacity, the max load on the trailer is 1,900 lbs.

one ton= 2000 lbs

Put 6 to 8 bags inside the vehicle.

Impressive...I got you fihured out, You weren't camping, you must have been studying your tgoes into's!

What kind of vehicle will you be using to tow?? I only ask because of what you said about hitch capacity.

 

[smoke show]

[Eatonpcat]

Bite me.

I have a Dodge Caravan and a class III hitch. You can plug in your vehicle and hitch classification on the UHaul website and it will tell you the trailers you can tow. Even though 1900 lbs is 100 lbs short of a ton, I think there must be some allowance built in. If I was towing across the country on the interstates, I'd find some other means. I only live about 10 miles away from pellet dealers and use country roads.

I wouldn't worry about the extra hundred pounds either! Only worry would be if you had an accident and U-Hual found out you were overloaded.

Good luck and happy pellet shopping.

Maybe I should take a match and burn a few bags before the cops arrive!

Oh most folks don't worry about the vehicle or the trailer it is what the law says about being overweight and there is no allowance for that.

Have you gone from preventing forest fires to working with the DOT??

In this situation you should not use the same parameters you use for picking women.

just sayin.

 

[hossthehermit]

If ya make it home, (or don't), then you won't have to ask next time, and put up with all this abuse. After all, you wouldn't ask for directions, wouldya?????

You know that folks usually don't give a damn until it hits their wallet and what really can bite is running over limit.
