Have I already mentioned how useful and back-saving my new #PalletFork is? 😸

Yard cleanup goes so much faster now.

Homemade scrapmetal #Palletfork complete. Seems I got the measurements right, picks up and drops pallets from the ground perfectly. Either length- or sideways.

Very pleased. This will be so useful for hauling stuff around the farm.

Slight limitation in how high I can lift them, but it's sufficient. Might modify it if the need for more height arises, but it's a yard hauler, not a forklift.

Now I just need to get more pallets 😁

The homemade #PalletFork is starting to look like money. These sell for €300 to €500 if you buy one instead of welding it from scrap steel found around the farm.

Let's see what this cost us (rough numbers):
€11 fittings
€26 paint (only used half though)
€5 power
€12 fluxcore wire
€3 cutting/grinding wheels etc.
====
€57

Bargain! And it was more fun than buying. And much more satisfying 🤩

This paint dries slowly. One more coat, hopefully tomorrow.

Progress on the #PalletFork

Working with reclaimed steel is a lot slower. I was cleaning up rust and dirt, welding shut some holes where the fence wire used to go through and painting rust converter on where it would be difficult later.

After much measuring and aligning, I cut the frame and tack-welded it together.

Then a filler plate into the top.

In between, some angle grinder repair (broken wire) and of course the fluxcore reel ran out and needed swapping.
