Well my friends after all these years I’m about to do something without pallets...... Well sort of! All you guys with your fancy chemical totes have given me ideas and I really like the way you stack. I’m about to start making the lids out of the plastic after I get into some cooler clothes. I am gonna have a LOT of pallets to dispose of in a few weeks. Everything is going into the totes. My employer gets them all the time so I’ve gone from unlimited pallets at the last employer to unlimited pallets and totes at this employer! Win win!!!
I can’t change the Pallet Pete name now! Half the world knows the Pallet Pete name! well at least half the FHC forums err a well maybe half my street anyways It be a travesty of the pallet lineage
I found some about an 1.25 hours away. $125 each for food grade 275gal, free pick up or $150 delivery fee. Going to see if others in town might want one too and we can split the delivery fee.
They are not food grade from us they are industrial chemical totes. Detergents, Acids, Teat Dips and other things like that that we supply farms with. The irony is that they are probably cleaner than food grade lol... For firewood they are perfect! I'd use the detergent totes without hesitation for gardening but non of the others...
Geez, I got a couple new totes listed on CL...no bites at $40...and they are new (well used once, same as yours Pete) I'd keep them for my own use, but they are too wide for my lil forklift to pick up once loaded (24" fork length) I did use a couple of the old liners I had around to cut diagonally like that, put a "roof" on 2 of my custom made wood racks...thanks leoht
The totes are not hard to get people to take free but sale is almost impossible. Even giving them away takes some work....
I was at an auction where they had probably 30-40 of them...couldn't touch 'em under $50. One of mine I have been using on its side as an outdoor "portable" work bench...easy to scoot around and then throw a piece of plywood on it...works good...might be a bit high for someone under 6' tall though...
