When I worked construction we used to put buckets on the loaders called "skeleton buckets." These buckets were just a framework that were primarily used to seperate the dirt from the rock. A couple of shakes and the dirt wood fall through and you were left with mostly clean rocks. I would love to see a product like this for hauling wood. A skeleton wheelbarrow if you will. Has anybody seen anything like this? Been dealing with a lot of chestnut oak lately and there is a lot of pith on it I would like to have fall through.
Great idea.. never seen it, but ‘wood love to keep the pith and dander out of the living room. Woodn’t need to dump it after a heavy rain either.
Yeah. There is a great big firewood processing facility near here that shakes their wood with something like a quarry screen. You can always tell when someone shows up with wood from there. Always clean and leaves almost no mess.
I had thought of something like that. Throw splits in and it will sift out the wood crumbs either vibration or rotation.
I'd ditch the wheelbarrow and get a 4 wheel cart. No comparison, holds more, easier to move, bigger ones can be hooked to a machine to pull, etc. I bought the Gorilla 1400 lb cart and love it. Holds double what a 2 wheel wheelbarrow will hold. Also use it a lot to transport tools. Oh, and it has a mesh bottom so little slivers can fall through, but if you wanted it solid, you're only a piece of plywood away
I keep thinking about getting a 4 wheeled cart of similar type for moving a little wood around from time to time, from the woodpile to the porch, that and a small ramp, so I can pull the whole cart onto the porch and park it.
My former house had a walk out basement with a slider. I had a plywood ramp and would push the wheelbarrow right into the house. Very convenient.
