    A buddy of mine gave me one of these from work and has several more. Not quite sure what they are used for. Looks like I could figure out a way to add a few beams and these would be good wood racks or could just criss cross stack the ends and use as is I reckon. What say y’all?

    Looks like you can probably slide a pallet right over the uprights.

    Great find gz

    Could cut some planks or 2 by's, or 1 by's and set them inside the angle iron ends as you go up.
    Nice find!

    Those are great! I would scoop up all you can get. I agree with TD, maybe a couple three treated decking boards bolted to the uprights to keep everything in place.

    I would add a few bricks or pavers on the bottom to keep the steel out of the mud and prolong the life.

    Odd looking table isn't it.
    Right side up could you stack on it for double stack high ?

    Weld two skid plates under them or attach two 2x6's treated and then you could pull them like a sled when moving them is needed. Eric beat me to the punch line and was exactly what I was thinking. Good score!

    It’s been kind of warm until the last few days it’s been in the 50’s and 20’s.

    With a couple rubber wheels and some slats on the sides it'd make a nice little yard trailer.

    I think Screwloose has metal pallet racking for his stacks. Looks like a nice set up.
