Salvaged Plastic Elevator Buckets Make Great Shop Trays
 ✖  |
Robert Dunton, Topeka, Ill.: Robert found a good use for salvaged plastic elevator buckets. Unlike the old metal buckets, the plastic ones are light in color which makes it easier to spot needed items inside because of the way the light hits them.
Robert mounted a couple rows of buckets on an A-shaped plywood frame, with buckets on each side. He put caster wheels under the A-frame to roll it around the shop. He also mounts the elevator buckets on the shop wall.
Robert had a problem with his dump auger, which originally had just two wheels. To make it easier to maneuver into place when unloading grain, he added caster wheels to the front and back end of the hopper.
He also made a full-size wood cover to go over the top of the hopper. There are two handles on top of the cover to lift it off.
