I pulled this out of the dumpster behind work the other day. I work next door to a moving company, and I get some good shit out of there from time to time. Any of y'all know how to restore something like this? If not I'll just scrap it, but I at least want to try before I send it to the furnace.

Actually though use CLR. It's literally designed for it.

But apparently CLR does the same thing and is made for it. According to another response

Buy evaporust and be done in 12-24 hours.
After that paint it

Or OP could use sand or dry ice blasting to strip it all off.
In any case, use a rust inhibitor primer and then a good stout enamel paint like you would use for wrought iron.
Any good restoration channel on youtube will show the process and list materials worth using (stay away from the major brand name shit in the US because they suck compared to what you can get in England).

Get carbonized steel (not stainless aka chromium - it makes dangerous hazardous waste)

Vinegar just dissolves off material

This is why I said use citric acid else where. Dissolves more rust. Dissolves lest metal.
