Menards Die-Cast Container Handler Pics.

Lovin the detail

Bob, good pics. I had one pic not show. If the mast does not come off when in the low position how far back toward the cab will it go.......Paul 

That's a nice addition to any loading facility. I would love to weather and letter one of those.

Paul, I had one duplicate, that's why one is missing. The mast stays vertical but moves a little forward is all. it will not go toward the cab. hope this helps.. you can also see the holes what Mark is talking about in the small container. after work, I'll drill one of the 20 ft. containers and see how it goes.. Bob

Bob, thanks a lot. Information was very useful...............Paul

Here's  a picture with the holes drilled. I drilled a 3/32 hole for the container and didn't  drill the bottom holes, it stuck on very well this way too..Bob

Here is th 40 Ft. Container. Again I drilled 2.  3 /32 holes the removed the metal  bottom of the container to keep the weight off.. Bob

Very cool!  

Bob, you da man!!! Nice pics

Looks good Bob, just wondering, what would you think about just putting a stick-on wheel weight on the bottom of the container Handler? to off set the weight of the container?

you don't need it. If you take the metal base off the 40 ft. container, the tabs are still there to connect the two containers. I drilled mine just a little smaller than what Mark said and didn't drill the larger holes in the side which would distract from its looks when its off. yes,it does hang a little off plumb but still works fine. you can see this on my pictures..
