Bulk bag and IBC weights.

i'd defo wait till you can get hold of something that can lift more

my avant is plated to lift 350kg, but by the time you've got tines on, there is 300ish left

the ibc here has had the top layer cut off and filled with seasoned oak, and that's at it's absolute limit

but that bags it'll handle absolutely fine, about .7 cube in the bags. i'd like to be able to do everything in ibc's but i have to use bags 

so yeh, wait till you can get some bigger i'd say

You’re not going to like this- but I did weight an 0.9x0.9x0.9 bag full of ash the other day, using the aforementioned crane scales. 
 

trouble is I can’t remember what it was!!

Thats great, thanks. Good thread as well. I had assumed around 500kg for the IBC. 

 

£95 for a cube back in 2014. What are you charging now? Seems like prices have not risen much in that time all considered. 

£240 for 2 and not doing 1 cube loads any more

 

Looking here 1 cube in 2021 should have gone up to £106
