What's $5,000 worth of rigging look like?
Looks like about a dumpster full.
There was a auction about 2 1/2 hrs north of me, Sedalia, Mo. Company was a pipefitting outfit, went bankrupt this spring, they sold all the equipment online. Must have had enough equipment for 200 guys.
I bought 23 different lots of cable chokers, shackles, nylon's, a job box, tools, etc. I sent two of the guys tuesday to pick up the items. I had them load up a materials dumpster I have, I didn't know exactly how much we were getting (purchased by pictures). The dumpster is about 6' wide, 9' long, and around 3' tall. They sold a bunch of job boxes, chain falls, and other equipment, I just bought some stuff I thought I could use.
The guys pretty well filled the dumpster, Jim called me on the way back, and said the truck was leaning pretty good.
