They should have some type of border at the base of the pallet . Could be wood , some rubberized band about 2 ft wide , there's many products that could be use .
Some damage is on the top row! When they stack them, sometime 3 high.. the operator sometimes misjudges and hits the top bag/bags.. But mostly.. the bottom. Often the spacing on the pallet boards, is too wide, and the bag sags... the fork hits it... or, again.. just misjudging and hitting a corner. Dan
That is one thing I dislike about burning pellets: spilled pellets on the floor. Not only is it a mess, our house is a shoeless house (shoes off at the door) so stepping on the things is akin to stepping on legos.
Forklift operators are the bane of the pellet world. If forklift operators delivered oil, the EPA would be even larger than it is now.
Interesting...I have been accused several times of lying because people said they could not see a boiler. I wonder how many people on here saw the barometric damper as well? Now that sorts out the real firewood hoarders from the not-so-much firewood hoarders.
I noticed the base painted to match the damper and what looks like the surround of the control box. Not sure what anyone else can possibly see in that picture. Oh wait, that probably proves something other than being a hoarder
Good eye! The "base" is actually just sheet metal as the boiler is sitting on cement blocks. I fabricated the tin work to make the base look better that is all. I did that so that loading the boiler would be easier, but what a job to lift the boiler up vertically. I ended up using scaffolding, bringing the pieces in, setting up the cross braces, then using 2x6s on edge and lifting the boiler straight up with a come-a-long. It was all for Katie's benefit. With 4 inch stilettos on, she would really have to bend over with those kinds of high heels on to tend to the stove.
