Impact should make a new thread called, “Dumb things Impact did at work”.
Brand new 2022 Liebherr LTM-1055. Just like the other one. It's coming across the great waters as I type this. Expect the ship to dock in Savannah port 7-17.
I had a really sweet night landing in Rapid City. We were returning from a cross country flight from Washington state to Washington DC and back, and I had my mom and aunt along.Guys at the airport grade everybody's landings. So there's never any pressure
Good for you. I hope its as good of a machine as your other 65 is.
How are you progressing on the storm damaged facilities?

It was a warm summer night with a hot runway well after dark, and I got that little bubble float just as I was touching down. It barely kissed and I was airborne again. My auntie said " nice landing!" and I said, "let's see how this next one is" as I started feeling for the pavement again

I just found this thread and my hat is off to you impact. Love your name by the way lol. There is nothing worse than a brand new socket when putting up bins. Used to work for a local GSI distributor years ago. My ears are still ringing from running 3 impacts inside a beer can. Biggest bin we put up though was 60' diameter and don't remember how many rings. What part of KY are you in. You may have done some lifts for us over the years
I know right where you are. I used to do a lot of work for a fairbanks contractor and have done a few scales down there. I remember one in Hickman that the scale set on top of a truck hoist. For the radius it took 100ton rig to pull the old scale and frame and set the new one in place and it had no problems with that part but maxed out trying to pull the cylinder for the hoist. Op hit the override and kept going for a bit but still wouldn't come out of the hole. He still had tension on it and we were talking trying to see what to do next when it popped lose. Scared the **** out of all of us lolI'm 65 Y/O and deaf now from "Impacts" running inside of beer cans. GSI is the brand I typically sell. We're in far SW Ky. West and South of Paducah a bit. Small town of Clinton. We've done bins up to 156' in diameter. Anymore we sub contract almost everything out as far as erection. I was raised punching bolts. But, as hard as labor is to get we find it better sub contracting that part out.

Were you the one who wound up taking that cylinder? I remember i was told not to cut it up because it was sold to someone but I don't remember who. Was always curious if it ever got used or just cut up later.i remember that story

I was the guy in the hole with the torch. I remember the gal in charge of safety at that Cargill was a Pita. They required an engineered lift for anything over 10% of crane capacity. We pulled the cylinder while she was out to lunch lol. Of all the Cargills I was in that was the worst. She made it miserable. We did a lot of scales on mine sites and dealt with msha and she made them look like preschool teachers.I don’t remember that part. I just remember one of my operators talking about the cylinder and how much force was on it
