Firewood haulage

[John Thomas]

googled it and only found photos and web sites of companies delivering lengths of timber

 

If one was to process firewood on site and have a haulage contractor pick it up with a 44T artic

1. what type of trailer would they use

2. how do they expect it bagged

3. how much weight and volume of hardwood can they fit on

 

Thanks

Depend on the weight of the timber, read moisture content. approx. 25T max.

Whats 25T in volume of seasoned oak and ash?

Interesting photo thanks

 

We used to get 26 pallets on the floor of a curtain sider so thats 52 pallets stacked on top of each other

do you only have 44 pallets due to the weight?

 

What kind of netting do you use round the pallets

how do you get the netting to hold the wood together in a cube so it dose not fall off

I can see some kind of yellow band around it

and did you have to buy the pallets

pallet banding and pallet wrap and obviously the sizes of lorry bodies varies, this lorry could carry 44 standard pallets.
