I figured I could use the bucket hooks if/when needed, like heavy loads, or if I wanted to dump something like firewood, etc. For it's current use the loads are light. As mikim and vic4news observed the big plus with out any required hook-ups it's simple to pick up, move, and drop off. No getting on/off a couple times to make up connections.

Although I built it for ease of transport, it will invariably get other uses. Even though the load is trying to split the pallet/skids apart, the way it is through bolted I think chaining to the hooks wouldn't be needed until the load exceeded a couple hundred pounds...and maybe not even then. I'll try to do a load test tonight and report back.
