Don't use Ibc, proper crates with sockets for forks and a rotator

Hi BIG HOW do you empty your IBC thanks Jon

 

Fabricated a rotator Jon.

In my limited experience IBC cages are prob the best, 1m2, plenty of ventilation and easily stackable! Customer wants a cube you just fork it to your truck and empty it!

 

Agreed, we do that, but spud boxes could be good for 2m3 and less handling, less space as lots buy 2m3.

Totally agree there - always if you have the finances available.

 

However if you don't 100% kiln dry ( because you foolishly missed that window of high tariff opportunity) and need 500 IBC's, it gets expensive.

 

Spud boxes are a lot cheaper but don't hold 2m3 without modification, which is a pain.

HI MATE thanks for that do anyone use fork lift rota thanks jon

 

F lift and rotator only ideal for tipping into something when it does not matter where the logs end up.

 

Tipping into a sub - divided truck is only good if you can mount the rotator well away from the mast and you nead a FL with a decent size counterweight be able to do that Jon
