Default Simple home made device.

Not much time with my truck recently due to the mad rush for finishing Winter's firewood.

A few years ago I built an axle out of 4 inch tubing that fits into the fork lift pockets located at about 1/3 and 2/3 of the container.

We lift the container with the 3 point hitch insert the axle tube and attach to axle stub welded to a short section of tube over the 4 inch axle tube and pin tothether with tractor pins.

I then lift the far end of the container with the hitch of the tractor and merrily roll along at very low speed. I use the Winter tires from the Hyundai inflated at 35 pounds.... they are just plain 235/75 x 16 tires.

Hoping to pair my container with my first one and span the 20 odd feet of space with sheet metal roofing...... so I can store 2 trucks inside and two more under the in between span.

Cheers
