I have this steel tub:

I do not need it and want to sell it, but I would like to know what it is called. It is meant for carrying heavy material using a crane or forklift.



Thanks


Google "steel tote" and look at the images. I don't see any with handles like yours, but it may be custom.

Not sure what that is, but I do have a question. Do you have in stock any stainless steel chemical mixing tanks in the 5 to 10 gallon range? The bottom can be flat, round or cone shaped. The application is mixing fairly reactive photochemicals, so the stainless steel is a must. Plastic scratches too easily and is harder to clean.

Not right now, I do not have any

These are very common actually...

Where are you located? I see stainless tanks at the scrap yard. Do you need it totally enclosed? Most of the tanks are bigger than 10 gallons.

It doesn't google correctly, but something in the ancient history part of my mind said "ingot box" for some reason.

Do you have beer kegs in your part of the world that are stainless?

I see them for $30 secondhand in my classified pages. They may make a good mixing vessel. Smooth bottom inner surface for easy cleaning.

I've seen totes exactly like that at the company that does my plating. They were full of parts.

Name the thing as best you can and then search Google "images". I have found people that way.

I think that it is called a corrugated steel pallet container.

Like this?

Very similar, yes, but with crane ears.

Here is the manufacurer. They call them totes or stackable hairpin containers. Check out bin # 61 and #62

Are you sure you have enough exclamation points there, Ig?

"types of crowbars"

Google it

"The socialist movement takes great pains to circulate frequently new labels for its ideally constructed state. Each worn-out label is replaced by another which raises hopes of an ultimate solution of the insoluble basic problem of Socialism, until it becomes obvious that nothing has been changed but the name. The most recent slogan is "State Capitalism."[Fascism] It is not commonly realized that this covers nothing more than what used to be called Planned Economy and State Socialism, and that State Capitalism, Planned Economy, and State Socialism diverge only in non-essentials from the "classic" ideal of egalitarian Socialism. - Ludwig von Mises (1922)

from wiki: "A stillage is like a pallet or skid but with a cage or sides or some form of support specifically tailored to the material it is intended to carry. Some are designed to be stackable.

Stillages are mainly used to transport goods without the need to load and unload the product being carried, which saves time and decreases the chance of damage."

This is like magic, you can't summon (Google) the item unless you know its full true name.

Google's new search engine is worse than the old one at guessing what I wanted. No, the Dark Ages weren't the 1970's.

I've wanted a better crowbar for years. Yesterday I discovered they are called "San Angelo Bars", which empowered me to find and buy one.
