Moving this bucket!

And a new bucket if you try to use the handles ! A few pounds in there for sure

I move 800# of 1# ingots. Just did them a bit at a time. I had a ton of chlorine tab buckets so I put about 8" of them in each bucket and was easy to load in the car and transport 100 miles!

Lesson.............NEVER store Pb ingots in mass quantities in a single container! Just a lot of work for you or someone else in the future.

And we're supposed to feel sorry for you? Lol

[Der Gebirgsjager]

That is really nice....and enviable. :mrgreen: Have you got a forklift?

[Texas Gun]

Move some of that to my place

[Winger Ed.]

You might need to bring the mountain to Mohamed.

Don't make extra work for yourself. Plenty of other people are more than glad to do that for ya.
Just move your casting bench closer to it.:bigsmyl2:

I made the mistake of filling a 5gal bucket one time :) After that I just used .50cal ammo cans. Filled with ingots it still weighs too much for me to lift these days. So, I even download those.

You shovel 16 tons and what do you get another day older deeper in debt

I would really consider a heavy duty dolly for moving that that full. A piece of heavy ply wood under it to help support the bottom and a strap to hold it in place so both hands can be used on the dolly. A couple more containers and split it up.

Nice looking stash!!!

I weld a piece of 1/2" rebar across the bottom of both ends of a 20MM ammo can. Full they weigh a bunch but can be moved with a hand truck pretty easily. When we moved a couple years ago I used the hand truck to place them in the tractor bucket and then lifted them into the moving truck. Made it pretty simple. If you're not strong don't fill the 20mm can over 2/3 full.

I use buckets made for masonry work to move lead around. They are really tough and hold up to the weight. Always use two. One in each hand so you are balanced instead of one heavy one.

I REALLY agree with the use of a dolly of some sort.
1. Order one from Harbour Freight. Not very expensive, and work well
2. Dolly or not, split that load in aeveral smaller ones

I may seem to be small potatoes to some. But had 500 lbs of roofing lead in the garage and got tired of walking around it every time I had to open the big door. Kubota tractor to the rescue. Loaded up the bucket and now all 500lbs are sitting in an outside storage shed. That was the second and last time hopefully I'll have to move it. Until it's melting time. Frank

Thats not a bad problem to have but bangerjim is right about keeping the weight down. A 2 wheel dolly will make moving that container much easier. I'm finding that I depend more and more on mine. I stack my Lyman style ingots in plastic milk crates and they will weigh 700+ pounds when full. But I don't plan to move them except for 10-20 pounds at a time to my casting pot.

Simplee . . . . . throw some dirty clothes on top of it . . . give a shout to your wife . . . "Honey! Can you come move this laundry basket?"

A Dolly has become my new best friend ... unloading and moving anything is so much easier with one of them . Give one to an older friend who doesn't have one and he will love you for it .

Yup...I just did the same thing with a 5 gal bucket but it is only 2/3 full....on the scale it weighed 202lbs. I moved mine from the back yard to the shop with a two wheeler dolly. In the shop it is now on a 4 wheel furniture dolly so I can just move it when its in the way.

Nice stash.
