    New invention to roll off/hook lift containers, your judgement please

    The batteries will need recharges from the wall outlet. A 30 minutes operation time between charges is sufficient i think. The container will only be moved on short distances via battery power. For longer moves you use the hook lift truck or a sufficient vehicle that can haul it by the drawbar...

    What is your preferred method for cable laying?

    Thanks for all the replys. I was i Vegas for the Con/expo, much great stuff to see there and no computer time :) I have watched some youtube videos of ripper laying. I can say so much that this will never work here in Norway. Wherever we try to dig there will be boulders or/and rock 90% of the...

    What is your preferred method for cable laying?

    Sorry for my late reply, but I travelled to vegas for the conn/expo Well I'm not sure if I understand you guys correct. Are you pulling big sized power cables through a conduit? What about high power cables? Here we use conduit for the most with fiber optic cables. Some times we pull bigger...

    What is your preferred method for cable laying?

    So then you are winching the cable through. And if its not going in pipes but directly into the trench as shown in the video, how do you normally do this? And I forgot to put a link to my new project, here it is: http://www.jack-pack.as/multigrab-general-info.html It's a drum handler that dont...

    What is your preferred method for cable laying?

    What is your preferred method for laying cable in a trench? In Norway we use a chain with lift fittings, swivel, master link and operating chain. See it in this video: Although it not quite legal to lift like this with people hanging on to the drum to control the spinning it's the preferred...

    New invention to roll off/hook lift containers, your judgement please

    My videos just show the principle of what we are working on. When we did all the strenght tests we had this flatbed loaded with 25 tons of steel plates. It was almost destroyed from the heavy load, it bended down on the midle and we had a lot of work with straighten it back to normal shape :) ...

    Is there anybody in here who are familiar with the hook lift system? There is a lot of container pick-up hook heights on the market today. My question is: what is the standard hook height for the containers in your country/state? Is it standarised to one specific hight or is there multiple...

    New invention to roll off/hook lift containers, your judgement please

    The same we do here, but the problem is that in many cases they are too heavy to be moved with the equipment available on site. Many excavation work that we do in city streets are small jobs that are done with smaller machines and typically a hook lift container where we dump the excess mass...

    New invention to roll off/hook lift containers, your judgement please

    I see, no "fancy" equipment like we have for the hook lifts. How is it with the hook lift system in the US, are they often to be seen around or is it cable hoist all over the industry?

    New invention to roll off/hook lift containers, your judgement please

    How do you actually drag these roll offs without the hook catch that we have on the hook lift system? I'm just curios, we don't have this roll off system here in Norway, it's all hook lift.

    New invention to roll off/hook lift containers, your judgement please

    Thanks for your reply. You are correct in that this will not work on soft, irregular or bumpy surfaces. It will however work on all the surfaces where we already move these containers with the solutions already on the market. Look here: http://www.jack-pack.as/why-.html . Jack-Pack is...
