Moving dumpy bags around?

[chrissishrimp]

This may sound like a stupid question but anyway:blushing:, do any of you know how to move dumpy bags of logs around with out a fork lift?? Or have any of you cleaver clogs made some sort of contraption to move them around?

 

Thanks Chris

put them on pallets and use a pump truck or put them on sheets of plyboard and drag them don't know about lifting them though

we use a crane that we built to fit on the three point linkage of a tractor- pretty much the same as an engine hoist only with a three point mounting instead of the legs. Not much use if you dont have a tractor however.

its not the best, but it was cheap, search fleabay for lucas crane!! an you can only deliver one at a time!!! i use a pallet pump truck in the yard, needs concrete/smooth floor thou!!!

I have an all terrain pump truck and am going to make a frame to hold the bag open so we can process in to it.

I was thinking of converting one of our Transit tipper to a mini-skip loader to load and unload 1m3 bags of logs. Truck could carry two and unload one at a time.

 

(can anyone make this youtube video work?)

maybe something like this only a bit bigger? would work quite nicely behind a car or pick up, or even a quad bike.

only good for round the yard though.

I would go with a small 12v hiab. 300kg per bag + hiab should get 5 or 6 on rather than 2 and it would be quicker and you could put over low walls etc.
