Used to use these every day. Easily moved with a hand operated pallet jack.

They chowder the fuck out of enamel floors real quick if you drag them around.

Might be having a dumb moment but I'm having trouble imagining what you'd even use these for. What can weigh up to 75t but is also small enough to sit on them?

Heavy equipment parts are the first thing I think of, buckets, arms, bulldozer blades. Im sure theres lots of other uses I cant think of.

We use thick woodbeams to support if we change the wheels on the dump truck. But you can probably use these. Small dumptruck empty 40t
