they look pretty good, how have you done the drainage as no weepers, perf pipe behind to soakaway ?

 

[diggerjones]

Yeah. Granular material in centre of block and 300mm behind. Perforated pipe on bottom going to soak away.
They are good for this application also the frost hasn't stopped me. The colour isn't very nice just concrete block colour
On a long wall you could really get them down. I'm on my own

 

[diggerjones]

i need a grab like that in my life

If you want to borrow it sometime, no problem. Probably better on a 2.5 --3t digger

they'll soon dull down with some growth on 'em though Dyl ... 's a smart looking wall

I had a bit of contact with hunklinger when i bought it. They were asking me if i new anyone that would be interested in being uk dealer, perhaps it would interest ross our gaffer.
Where abouts are you, be no problem you lending it to try to make your mind up. Think i gave £500 or £550 for it. It must have being a bargain as druid has never forgot

seem to recall it being closer to 300 quid Dyl ... we'd both seen it and you'd gotten there first, from memory..... it's a very clever piece of gear and was as said the buy of the decade

If you look at it, its just a ram that goes in and out with ajustable finger/clamps. With a rotator on top.
Someone like Graham could probably knock one up in an afternoon

that's right ... took us a little while and some googling to work out HTF it worked and then it was a case of if you don't I will ... please

the other beauty of it is the ability to pin on any number of different types of gripper/jaws/shaped tongs/whatever and at a wide range of widths/opening dimensions ....... and yeh, dare say it'd not be difficult to replicate once you'd had a good look at one
