Revenge of the Cage

These things are just full of hazards. The annoying thing is that they’re designed to transport stock but they’re not very practical when it comes to pulling or pushing them around. There’s no handles so you must make do with what’s in front of you. If the weight isn’t distributed easily it can be a real burden to steer and too much pressure on the front will either force the door open or cause the wheel to roll over your foot (it’s always a good idea to wear steel-capped bots by the way). Finally, if you push too hard to open the door when there’s some weight on it, you can be unlucky if the door slips and catches your skin. There’s also loose wire that can give you a quick graze or a deep gash if you put your hands on them without looking. You should really wear gloves to avoid all this and it’s always safer with two.
