The plan for the shop move is to downsize as much as I can and store everything into a shipping container until the new shop is built. The last time I moved my shop I used 55 gallon barrels for storage. This was convenient because it allowed me to pack as much as I possibly could into the barrels and not worry about the barrels breaking. Then the barrels could be moved with an appliance dolly. In turn,
it was a not so well executed plan because moving 300 or so pounds with an appliance dolly got old pretty quick.
The new plan is to use large crates that can be moved easily with a pallet jack and a set of pallet forks on a tractor. These crates will be used again for either long term storage or for firewood bins piles at the new property.
