What man as done, man can do, what never has,maybe
Today’s shenanigans
found a crack in the crane
it’s on this
linkage that opens out the telescopic arm
cracked just off the weld on both sides (still plenty of meat left but
)
.
so gouged it out with the plasma gouging torch (first time I’ve used it
)
then die ground it back to clean material
and poured a bit of liquid steel in

And because I’ll be having a few days off
made a start on the manual pull out extension
had the steel folded to a pattern I’d made
then welded the two halves together
welded an end plate to one end and drilled the holes for the pin to hold it closed in or exten, got some thick walled tube that I will weld into the holes so the pin can aline easier
next job is some 1” plate on edge welded top to bottom that the hook can hang from (after the guy in the red coat has been

Was a Manual pull out an optional extra for your crane? I seem to remember seeing something about it when I’ve checked out your crane specs in the past.

Yes can get two manual pull outs
but very expensive from cormach was told that the first extension without the ram on top was £10k
feck knows how they get there prices

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
was that a true crack in the parent material or a cold lap Mog?Today’s shenanigans

what spec. material is the Cormack component fab.ed out of Mog? ... most of these loader cranes use some pretty exotic HT gradesYes can get two manual pull outs

Did to me too.
Also reminded me that I really ought to persevere with plasma gouging as the good old arc/air does risk adding unwanted carbon.

I thought that. It’s an expensive wooden box if that’s the case!Seen packing crates called that on big stuff ...but not more than the contents

Well I gouged out to where the crack stopped (cold joint I think)
and the ‘carpentry’ is a bracket that holds the pullies (will take a picture) mine got bent in a previous life but I straightened it out after they sent the quote
as for the metal will be some good stuff
but my extension will only be used for the hoist lifting air con units so max 600 kgs but will test to 1500 kgs it’s 8mm folded and bloody heavy (too much for me to lift) I think I’ll be on the right side

I’ll make sure my steels are 599kgs so it’s been well tested already
