I just got an order from Pelletsales.com

Has anyone used a pallet jack to move the pallets of pellets? They driver got them in the garage as best he could, but I like to move them around .

I purchased pellets from a place that uses a pallet jack. Worked great. He put them exactly where I requested with no broken bags.
I had pellets delivered by a place with a folk lift. I had to restack those pallets by hand to get them where I wanted....I guess the good part of that is I got exercise.
 
Our Local Tru Value rents them for $15 a day. Well worth it to save your back and get them where you want them.
 
Depends on the distance but 2 guys can move 3 tons by hand in under 15 minutes. Have refreshments at the ready for when the job is done. a pallet of pellets makes a nice leaning area to shoot the bull.

The place we order from sends a pallet jack so the driver can put the pallets at the back of the garage. The one time they forgot to bring it, I borrowed one from work. Made re-arranging fast and easy.

Cheers
