This is why I use farm jacks. I just put a thin cinder block under the farm. Jack and the lift portion goes into the hole on the side of the container.
Great idea. I would weld hooks at the bottom of the jack frames that lock into the corner holes of the container. That way you don't have anything protruding from the side of the container when you break it down for transport. You could get this project to well under $1000 if you did the welding yourself.
that's a pretty good idea but I think I would probably would put some concrete you know some killers I think if I was to do it I like the idea of the leveling but I think I still would add some concrete pillars I probably have more than four jacks I think maybe I would probably do a total of 12 all around it that way it could burn more weight in different areas but that's a great idea you might not need a whole slab but Killers placed in the right angle could bear to wait because of me is going to rain every lie that's those good get soft
You are absolutely right Ms. Casey! I also thought about digging out holes on all four corners, once the container was in place, and filling said holes with quickcrete. I have had very little settling in the gravel pads that I established a couple years ago. As they say in the rural areas "pretty good is perfect." If you set yours on some concrete pillars, be sure and let people know how it works for you! Thanks for the comment Cynthia. Dave
I appreciate the feedback Perry. You are correct that the jacks are not cheap/inexpensive. The convenience of having the jacks is well worth it in my opinion. I have lowered the front multiple times to get equipment in and out and to drain water after hosing out the container. I was just looking around locally and I am surprised by the current cost to purchase containers as well. I bought my one trip container for $2100 just a couple years ago. All in I was under 3k with jacks. You might also buy one jack and four collars and rotate the single jack to each corner if you wanted to put it up on blocks. Just a thought. Thanks again for your comment! Dave

That is a bad ass idea 👏👏
Thank you for sharing! I used a bottle jack to lift a corner of my 40'er and rocks & gravel to shore it up once lifted. I like your solution better!
Thank you for the comment Mike!
Excellent video thank you
Thanks for the kind words! Hope the video helps you with your projects.
Thanks again, Dave
Awesome ideas, id just set the jack on cottage blocks. They're pretty sturdy and affordable
Thank you for the comment Kevin. Im glad you liked the video.
Dave
Good idea but wouldn't leave suspended on jack
Great Idea Mate!
Thank you for the feedback Jordan. I Have had the Jacks on the container for a couple of years now, with no issues.
Simply brilliant
Still working great. Hope the video helps you in your endeavors.
Your idea is good thinking,job complete,
Brilliant.

awesome idea
Thanks a lot
By widening your width, you may actually fall out of clients and become a wide load if you need to transport on the road again
Thnaks. so so brilliant. !!
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the comment!
Great idea

Thank you for the comment Brizzle. I keep thinking I need to learn how to weld.
Dave.
I’m about to do this today
Get it done and let us know your results!
Thanks for your comment David.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing! A+++

Thank you Mr wingzzz. You are very smart as well!
Dave.
Great idea. Thanks.
Thank you James!
Get some solid blocks and lower it back down on them at the level . then store your jacks.
Seems like you could just use one jacks and move it from corner to corner for leveling.
Absolutely, you could do that! I like being able to lower the front down when adding heavy equipment and for draining water after spraying it out.
It is fewer steps when leveling on demand
So what's stopping any asshole from walking by and jacking up one side, or pulling the pins? GENIUS!
Me and my bazooka!
Or just jack it up and sit it on blocks or rail road ties...
You did it just about the most expensive way possible. lol

Better for me to use a weld on hook on the jack and then just chain the corners. No welding except the hook just and idea but they do work great
nemtudom milyen jo a hegesztesed mit bir de ugyan igy lehet egy emelovel semmi oldal sallangal megoldani koszonom az otlet kiinditasat
If you don't paint that weld. It's gonna rust off
Looks like it's painted brown.
@@smokesandalloy9487 that is rust
Its painted!
Great idea but you spend a lot on jacks

Not per code.
Say "not per code" six times fast. It's fun!
Thanks, Dave
OH NO!!! It's the code police! Don't you hate trolls.
