Title: where are all the gaylords?
Post by: RT-55J on Tue, 2024 - 10 - 22, 11:00 AM
vidcons (aka "videogames") have so many crates that some pundits used to rate the creativity of games using the "start to crate" metric. this is because gamedevs yearn for the simple pleasures of a warehouse

now, with all the warehouselike areas in vidcons, why are there never any gaylords in them? did someone steal them all? are devs to scared to model their interiors? is some sort of conspiracy afoot?

i need answers. gaylord answers.

A "gaylord" is a large, heavy-duty, open-top box used for a variety of warehousing purposes. The name comes from the guy/company that originally manufactured them.

Note: The "lids" shown in these pictures are typically put on the bottom of the gaylord to increase their structural integrity (for moving them around with dollies and such)

yeah. i never knew those were called nutting trucks until just the other day lol.

we live in a world where someone can say "it's your turn to load the gaylords onto the nutting truck" in a professional context, and i think that's just beautiful.

sorry I'm late :smug:

I've mostly seen gaylords in supermarkets, like holding watermelons, or full of awful dvds, or something like that. they are almost always atop a skid, for maximum mobility
