R.Sanders Plant

Some more shite collected this weekend. Sykes pump was too cheap to miss. Seems Seized but should live again.

Jaw bucket is a JCB, but also has a Wain Roy Plate never done much work by the looks. 18" and should fit the taki's a treat

The jaw bucket looks really nice

Bauer Coupling.... The best

Is it engine seized or pump seized?

Engine I expect. Eitherway we will sort it.

Ex SWW, so it's done f**k all in it's life.

if it’s not been drained down then the impeller may be stuck with rust. It should have a Fenner type flexible coupling between the engine and pump, try separating it at the coupling and go from there. See which one is free

This is what I was on about to you earlier Rory, of what Rod makes at Anross....1.8ton headstock to hold a GXP1500R shear onto a EX1200

 

[Komatsu]

And here is another...with a great endorsement to go with it

I’ll let you tell them that Gramore than lightly just offering it up to and existing shear, as their are two different headstocks with different shears to suit.

Yeh, very impressive, not the sort of stuff you can just move around a workshop by hand

no for sure .. O/H gantries needed on most component parts, let alone the finished article ..... have a few odd pix somewhere in albums in the attic ..... but I'm talking 40 years ago ....... was a great learning experience and got to do/work on stuff I wouldn't have otherwise

I find it really interesting going round his factory, or any factory that’s like that to be fare. He does laugh at me, but suppose if you see it day in day out, you take it for granted, but the workmanship that goes into making stuff like is truly outstanding .....the bloke who did my trailer also has shed business and he has a press that presses the bolt holes out through something like 30/40mm plate...impressive to watch it working

yeh ... used to have one ... a universal ironworker .... would punch 38mm in 25mm plate max ... 115tons of pressure ... crop 450mm of 25mm plate or 600mm of 20mm plate ...
plus all sorts of other things like 200 x 200 x 16mm angles, 65mm rounds/squares ...
cost me £15k new, many years ago, but paid for itself in less than a year, in time savings .... Kingsland XS115 ..

also had 3 handheld punches'd do 24mil. in 12mm plate and a bigger throated version for punching holes in beam centre webs with a 12" throat ...

IIRC the Kingsland had a 24" throat .... great tools ... put a centre dot where you wanted the hole, line up the tit on the punch and go .... instant holes ..... or jig it up for multiple/repeat holing

the punches are a fixed size .. the dies are made according to what thickness plate you're punching, with bigger clearance for thicker gauges .... the slugs that come out'd make lethal catapult ammunition and weigh in as A1 scrap .... as a rule of thumb, you couldn't punch much thicker than the hole size you were punching ...

but could make all sorts of shape holes

keyhole for slotting over a rivet head - like in a racking system

corner radiusing punch/die

told Richy the lad I sold it to and who used to work for me that, I want first refusal on it, if he ever sells it ...
has had a very limited number of careful users

There fantastic pics Gra.....and thought exactly the same about the slugs when he punched a few holes out to show me how it worked, actually got a handful off him so I can weld them onto my compactor wheel feet, when I get round to it. Just couldn’t believe you could punch holes out in steel that thick in seconds....he also had a very modern drill set up that would go up and down a track (80ft+ if I remember) that would hold up to 6 drill bits and drill the holes out up and down the beam, depending on what size and where. All done by computer but fascinating to watch.

For those that don't know for the past two and a bit years we've had help from a bloody class friend Chris. Lot of experience in this man's head, from a Apprenticeship at David Browns, Service with the REME, workshop/development engineer with a fire brigade in the south east, then all sorts of construction plant and concrete pumps! I'm trying to learn what I can, as and when we can.

But with that experience comes age, we've got a couple engines to rebuild.... We where going to block em. but as usual on out travels we found something better will make his life easier!

It's either 1 or 1.5t capacity

engine stand is such a handy tool for working on 'em, especially when they'm a lump
