i just shove it in the van transit lwb, but my mate who uses a rhino just leaves it unlocked, as he says 'at least they wont wreck the carrier when they take it'.
funnily enough, hes never lost any either?.
 
Seems like this thread has got about,just go back from a long weekend away and found my padlock on my Van Guard Pipe Carrier has been attacked by some bolt cutters,and had five lengths of 22mm and 15mm have gone walkies :(:mad:

makes you feel like wiring the van and tube carrier to the mains wish that was legal:cool:
 
Well gold is about ÂŁ26,123 KIlo at the moment,so is a slight differance,however now what you mean :D,prices are great at the moment,turning into a nice bonus after a few cylinder removals,do,nt leave any old copper in place any more :D:D

imho

26k a kilo for gold

bloody hell its mad that same weight of a certain powder is not far off the same as gold!
 
just took in my scrap, i phoned all the scrappies in a 60mile radius and it ranged from ÂŁ1400 a ton to ÂŁ3500 a ton, so make sure ya shop around

I've always scrapped my tut. I used to get stick about it from my father & brother (both plumbers)....now they routinely bag up their's and weigh it it.

I did a job once, where it was an old unvented cylinder made from very thick guage copper. It took two of us to load it in the van...the client was so relieved that they didn't have too shift it themselves!! HA HA!

I always leave the scrappies feeling happy - it's a nice little kick back - and we need all the help we can at the moment.
 
best to leave a pipe carrier unlocked and empty when away from the van my sons was attatcked in broad daylight in bethnal green
