IBC Cages wanted.

reilig

Maybe someone will know where I can get some now or may remember this post oer the next few weeks.

I'm looking for 2 or 3 1000l IBC Tank Cages (No tank required) with a metal or plastic pallet attached to the base. I know that some people buy these tanks and remove the cages and often just dump them. I'm willing to pay for them and I am willing to collect them. No crazy prices now - remember you can get a tank and cage for €50.

Anywhere in Leitrim, Roscommon, Longford, Westmeath or East Galway will do me fine.

You could try going direct to Schutz just outside Ballina. Might to far away from you but I can find out if they sell the cage and pallet. You can decide then.

Is it for timber logs you want them? If so you can use 500Kg bags too. I have a few of them left down on pallets full with cut and split logs. The timber will dry out in them, no problem.

Its for logs allright. I have the gasifying boiler in the garage and don't want to stack logs on a pallet anymore as its too messy. Want to put some casters on the bottoms of the cages so that I can pull them to the door, load them and push them back into the garage to beside the boiler. The cages are ideal for what I want - light weight and very steady. Each cage would last me approximately 2 weeks in winter - if I had 2 of them, I'd only have to bring timber from my drying shed to the garage once a month.

Have a couple of months yet to get it sorted, will keep an eye on donedeal. You'd never know where someone would have a damaged tank in a cage that would suit me.

You could staple some sheep wire on to a pallet. Make a circle over the pallet, staple to the pallet and you have a 4ft diameter and 4ft high cage for logs.

Not as sturdy as a ibc cage but still handy and not expensive. I've seen people store firewood like this and works very well.

I really want it to be more stable than that - want to be able to put caster wheels on the bottom and push it around the garage.

Reilig, The IBC cages are great. I have 5 of them here. I use 2 for holding silage wrap over the winter and the other 3 are used for holding timber fencing posts, plastic barrells cut into drinkers and meal troughs.

Ill ask the lad i got mine off. I gave between €10 and €25 for mine each, depending on pallet condition. Normally a good ibc is €50 - €65. What you think?

Wheelie bins there are a lot of them lying around since a bit of competition came into the rubboish business, also if you look out you might get one of the commercial bins. Advantage is that you do not have to store your wood in the garage, should be ok unless the cousins call.

Thanks for the tips lads. Vanderbadger has provided a useful idea for me which could be a runner. Unfortunately a wheely bin would be too hard to get the timber out of.

Shopping trollies?? I don't know!!:o
