Oh, just that. I thought there was something else more mind-blowing. I don't know if there's a similar thing for pallets here in the US, but I know from an old job that a lot of plastic skid making companies do the same thing, usually with a phone number and warning about misuse embossed on the skid itself. I don't think anyone ever gave a poo poo, and just threw them out if they got bad.

I only have some tertiary experience, but the blue pallet situation in the states is very similar.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:See, now I'm curious. What's special about pallet handling in Australia? The Allied Materials Handling Standing Committee was created during world war 2 to standardize defense logistics. After the war ended, the us military went home, but left behind all the pallets and such used for logistics. Rather than letting them all go to waste, the Australian government turned it into a commercial operation to boost the Australian economy - CHEP The way it works today is that most pallets in Australia are leased from CHEP, rather than being owned by individual businesses. CHEP takes care of things like replacing damaged pallets, and it makes things easier when you don't need to worry about returning a particular pallet to the supplier that owns it. But, since the pallets are leased, you need to pay CHEP when you're using them, and they charge huge penalties if you're caught using CHEP pallets without paying for them. So they've got a bit of a bad rep amongst skinflint business owners who tried to save a few bucks and got burned.

Used to work part time at a RONA and the director flipped out when one of the forklift guys put one of them in the "recycling pallet" pile. They couldn't ever get if they were 50$ or 500$ each though, that changed every time.

I have a ladder with all-terrain legs, by necessity, and they're a pain in the rear end to use. The controls on that look way nicer. Although I would rather it had feet instead of a bar, that bar is assuming a lot about the ground between the ends.Mimesweeper posted:as someone who's carried a lot of big ladders through small doors and hallways i definitely want a big wide thing on the end to make that whole process even more fun.

Even though like a million other people also do, it's freaking me out a little because I go through that spot pretty much every work day. Anyway, regarding the CHEP pallets: the thing I don't understand is why there are non-chep, not nearly as rugged, normal rear end pallets that are painted the exact same blue. Like, who are they trying to fool?

Throw the odd fake one into that stack and you've made a bit of cash out of him.

Yeah 50$ always made more sense to me considering the materials used. That sounds like a lot of pallets O_O We only piled up to like... 50 before their truck came by to get them, if any was missing we'd have to find it. Driving a forklift (gas and electrical) and other stuff like pickers and pallet transporters was a really fun job as a teenager though so I can't complain too much

EPIC fat guy vids posted:That sounds like a lot of pallets O_O We only piled up to like... 50 before their truck came by to get them, if any was missing we'd have to find it. It is a ridiculous amount. We've got like thirty buildings across four provinces and the one I work at is the central hub of sorts, so everything comes to us. A trailer that gets sent back to chep has almost 600 empty pallets in it. Our pallet building fills at least one per day, usually two or three. We don't get the good forklifts, almost all of ours run natural gas because it's cheaper than propane. Gasoline would need completely new refueling infrastructure, and electrical would take up precious floor space (and would cost a bunch to switch to, even if it is cheaper in the long run). Oh, and since it is the OSHA thread, the fuel tank on one of our lifts had a big sticker that said "Do not use after jan 2016" on it. That only got replaced last summer.

You can tell them to gently caress right off in Canada though. most of the reusable pallets i've seen in Canada re the orange CPC ones, but they never sued anybody and that's probably why they died

I'm not sure what he was getting at either, but it does seem pretty clear that the pins were definitely not installed when the crane collapsed.

Maybe the did that earlier in the day, then winds picked up. And now it’s too windy to replace them. Why not do one section at a time is my issue.
