Fruit Bin Carrier

poyjas · Oct 13, 2019

I’ve had a fruit bin around for years I’ve used for shuttling rounds in from the woods and moving split wood under cover. Strapped it on FEL forks but that doesn’t work well. Today bolted it to a 3/16” Titan SSQA plate. A VAST improvement plus a little weight savings! I hope to add tool holders, casters, a swing-away gate, and better paint.

That's great but where does one get a fruit bin

From a fruit bin seller

...DUHH....

And yes that's meant as a funny!

I live about 50 miles north of poyjas and I haven't seen a fruit bin anywhere around here.

I see them rolling down the hi-way by the semi truck load with oranges in them from Novemberish to Juneish.

LMAO!!! Be nice to find one, I love anything that saves a ton of fabrication and planning and mostly expense

Google 'Agricultural fruit bin' and you will see nice plastic ones for ~$160. All forklift ready some with lids stackable, some with casters. I'm thinking I need these for the shop to load with stuff and put on pallet racks. They are not a ton more than used IBC totes

Bought the one fruit bin from a guy in a neighboring community. Like Wolfman says, hard to find around here. Wish I could get more. Also, I did find local used ISO tanks/frames for $25 ea. Fairly ugly but the firewood doesn’t care.
