[UPDATE] I moved ‘em the old fashioned way. 30 minutes to transfer 50 bags, build a platform to keep them off the ground and Sawzall the pallet ain’t too shabby.

[ORIGINAL]

2500lbs of zinc sulfate powder, that has to be moved inside the garage. Because the delivery guy delivered it too close to the door... All the bags will need to be moved twice. Sigh. How much are forklifts?

You really just need a pallet jack, go to the local Target or Walmart and bribe/ask one of the backroom guys to loan you one.

Looks like you can rent them from Home Depot.

I feel you. I got to move this several times . The single power wheel on the forklift couldn’t get enough traction to push the 1st pallet any further forward.

Towstrap around the pallet, pull it with the car . either pulleu in the garage or ratchet strap it back in, anchoring to something solid inside the garage. The other guys ideas of pallet jacks are probably the best. No friends/family with one?

Does it burn?  Because at this point, I would burn it.

if you have a decent chain or towstrap, you could drag the pallet far enough ahead to open the door......

hmmm..welp.. its on a pallet

and the transition from driveway to garage looks plenty smooth.... i bet you could use your car and some rope to drag the pallet free from the door

im gonna give it 50/50 odds on being able to push it in with your car

(i have lots of plans like this.... sometimes they dont end in di saster)

My back hurt then became very strong after hand mixing and pouring 116 bags!

Stick a 2x4 in the slots, it should have enough play that you can tilt it up using a floor jack. Once one side is up you can place something round underneath it. Repeat with the other side, being careful with chocks.

Moss powder. It's the main ingredient used in all of the moss powders available at home depot, Walmart, etc. Minus the pricey *branding*

They're year round and get different colored bulbs to match the holidays. 4th of July had red, white and blue!

I’ll just drive my forklift up from CA. A t a max 20 mph (maybe) it won’t take too long.

I think I had pick up ~50 80-lb bags for my fence last fall. And I weight like... 23 lbs.
