I noticed that also. I nearly fell out of my chair at work looking at those pics.

If that forklift can climb at a 90 degree angle loaded, I'll make sure to get one of those when the time comes!

Imagine the possibilities....

I'd like to see some pics of the boards that came out of all that metal.

What would the third picture be classified as? I got something similar out of what I think was a satellite receiver.

Should tell you on your receipt - it's how I found out my pickup weighed 4500lbs empty(I figured it was around there but wasn't sure).

I like the fourth picture..you can see the back end of a red car sticking out about 6 feet off the ground

Nice!

Spin...this made me drool. I usually only drool, when napping.

Really nice load. I like to keep mine neat to pack more on the trailer, but the full gaylords are all that.

Beautiful... just simply beautiful.

just a small tip that helps me pack the car with more tin fill the pc carcasses with smaller tin and also fold the sides in on the tops of some of the tin pieces it makes them flatter and allows for slightly more room

Nice to see a man on a mission keep it up. I wanted to share my thoughts with you on this subject. Tin /shread. I used to do the same thing with my tin, well almost I never loaded Gaylord's, used to pile it outside and when the pile got to big load it up and off to the yard, I personaly would not load Gaylord's with tin, just to much labor and time, tin is a buy product of e-waste that basically has little to no value and when your staff have to handle it more than once you actually lose money on it, the key is to handle it as least as possible, the way to do that is have your yard deliver you a fourty yard dumpster,it will take up less space in your yard then the truck.i like the idea of loading a Gaylord in the work area, nice and neat we will be starting that tomarrow, but it will go right to the dumpster and get loaded in. I get the weight slips both full and empty with a time stamp both ways, the time stamp cuts Down on any funny business. Some guys will think that I am crazy to say that you lose money on tin but when you get to a level that you have to pay people to handle it and you are at that level, just think about what it costs you in labor and wear and tear on truck gas, time I hope I made myoint clear, now I am assuming you have the room for the dumpster, it's nice you call them they pick up the tin and bring you back a empty dumpster, and a check for the load. Hope that it helps keep up the good work I love to see hard working guys prosper Happy Scraping 1956.
