    How to move bundles of brick

    I need to move 6 bundles about 100 yards and keep them bundled up. Any tricks?

        Skid steer with forks saved me a lot of trouble when I moved mine. All extra building materials were set on pallets when we built to move to the back of the property, saved a lot of manual labor.

          I thought about cutting sone plywood and sandwiching the bundle to try to pick up with a tractor

            A pic might help get some ideas.

              Find a brick layer and borrow or rent a hundred packer. Looks like a dolly.

                I used a brick dolly before and pulled it with my 4 wheeler.

                  You can rent a skid steer for $350

                      If they are cubes they are usually 500 +/- bricks per cube. There are usually 5 "straps" per cube. The straps are individually strapped and then the straps are strapped together to make the cube. If you are lucky you may have 10 straps in a cube. You can pick those straps up by hand.

                      I set them on a pallet and then move the pallet with forks. If they are loose, stack them on a pallet and then wrap the pallet with a piece of welded wire fencing. Then move them with forks.

                        Those are 7 straps of brick. They look loose. Try hand trucks, but they look like they'll fall apart.
                        Flop each strap on a pallet and then two guys can lift the pallet onto a truck or trailer to move them.

                        edit: Put a piece of plywood on the back of the hand truck before you try to move them.

                        edit2: Load from the wide side.

                          I believe you have done this before.

                            One bundle is too loose so I’m going to not try to keep it together. I’m thinking about binding them together with plywood and use a dolly. Thanks for the input

                              try a plain old dolly with a piece of plywood or osb to help keep them from falling out. I have moved plenty of brick straps this way.
                              Just saw your last post, lol. That's the easiest way, without a skid steer with forks.
