I brought some, rotated them on forks and they fell apart

 

Which were they? Steel, plastic or wooden base???

For tipping you could try this Ben http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/64594-low-tech-ibc-tipper.html

 

Can't say it's fast but it does work.

Our IBC containers have had a hard life getting tippers over we were using a bale squeeze to move them when we dint have a tele and they are still really strong and usable now

1am 1000 litre ibc container holds 1.04 cube look up what volume a 1000 litres has.

 

If you sell by the loose load and you want 1.2 volume either give them a good shake or stack the top 6 inches .

 

Ben were using potato boxes for the first time this year got some 06 ones for £12 each. Bang 3 of um by the taj and with the 12 way 20 mins there full and you can stack um 8 high.

 

Nice! Where are you buying tate boxes for 12 quid???

Local farmer the ones I'm buying are good for £20 you can buy 09 onwards which are perfect. As I'm limited on space the only way I'm going to get 1000 + ton in my yard is reach for the sky's. The only thing I didn't think about was once I get 5 high I have to stack 3 on top of one another then put them on the 5. Poor old matbro does not like it at all. Been rear wheel steer it's hard to place the boxes when rear wheels are off the ground.

How do you keep them dry when they're stacked 8 high outside? Do you move them inside before winter

[Wood wasp]

Mort, make sure you cut vents in them before stacking as it really helps the timber dry. As for keeping them dry we just put a lid on the top one before stacking - make sure it's well secured as it's windy up there!
