Fancy cutting saw I unloaded at a machine shop monday. Was supposed to be 12,000lbs. They were planning on using a pallet jack and a forklift to put it in place in the building. I had my old 25 ton grove (its about the only thing I have running right now), good thing I had it instead of the mack/ national, it was 21,500lbs.
I set it down and told them they were going to have to rethink the whole pallet jack plan. They had asked me to bring my machinery skates, so we put them under one end, and two pallet jacks on the other end, and pushed and pulled with the forklift to get it in the building.
Also got my block stowage rack built for the 40 ton. I've been going round and round with the parts guys for the bad pressure transducer to make the LMI work. I think I've got the right parts on the way now for it.
.
New pac brake showed up for it today also, the old one was rusted tight, I got it freed up, but the cylinder was bad as well as the spring, so I just bit the bullet and got a new one. Actually, I think this one is military surplus, it was $550 off ebay, new ones are more like $1500. The new one is the "improved" model. My old one didn't have the extra arm and spring, I think its to control so it doesn't do too much back pressure.
