    My new crane and mag genset

    I think that you will be able to find them. Just the question is if they will be available locally or will you need to order them.

    Where does old machinery go to die ?

    I am afraid that any transportation of old scrap metal adds serious cost to the new recycled product. Not to mention the environmental impact of transportation. I simply don't see a real solution to this

    Horrible absolutely horrible! The eyes are pretty much the most important thing on our body! Heavy workers should know that better than everyone because of how frequently you hear stories like this! Always wear your PROPER safety glasses. I emphasize the word proper because different work...
