Tip for the engine crane: when unfolding it, you can just open the release valve, lift the arm and close the valve. Saves a hundred pumps to get the arm up to height
I’ve done a lot of rigging in my day and I didn’t see anything wrong with how you unload it! 😁 Those ironworks are good to have in a shop! I’ve used them before and there super handy to have, nice find 👊🏽
Hey thanks for the awesome video. Not sure if you knew this or not but instead of cranking or pumping the Jack all the way up on the engine lift, you can actually just grab the arm and lift it up slowly it'll stay. Give it a try. Oh by the way same thing with floor jacks you know the ones we used to jack up your car.
I wish I had shop like yours. Its a dream that is never gonna come to reality because of the costs in my country are so unfair. We are doomed here. Be happy that you're living in a free country. At least you can buy everything you need for a reasonable price but we cannot. Wish you the best
Pooya Askariyan Omran - man, I hope this doesn't get you in trouble. I don't think some people there take criticism very well, if you know what I mean...
Hey. Come to Canada if you can. We would love to have you. We have our problems, but we would welcome you. We aren't the best country in the world, but we try. I honestly believe you would enjoy it here. But you must like snow. A lot of snow.
@@MrRigmunkee1Hey man that's because you are so generous. I'm gald to hear that. But unfortunately I don't have enough money thinking about imigration because I don't have a descent job. And also I can't leave behind my family. Here having a job for us is like a dream. You are so lucky
I watched every and each video you've uploaded and I'm looking forward to see waht you're gonna do with the property you've just bought. Send my regards to Jimmy Diresta as well please tell him that he has a follower in this corner of the world called Iran.
Just say no to crack. I’d love to have a space where I could acquire machinery like that. Such an amazing tool. You’re coming to twin in a couple weeks right?
Hey Chris. I met you at an auction pick-up in Bohemia in May of 2018. If I remember correctly, you were picking up a surface grinder (I was picking up a Black Diamond drill grinder). I am located in Ridge on Long Island; keep an eye out for my upcoming channel "deckerbilt". Perhaps we'll run into each other again at an auction. Regarding moving machinery, I have used a popular rigger in this area and they screw up all the time. I had to tell them how to move a lathe when they were about to break mine in half by lifting it wrong. They also broke the chuck off the headstock on another lathe because they used it as a sling point. You'd think they know better. I also watched your Takisawa lathe video. Back in 1983, that lathe was the first machine tool I bought for the company that I still work for. The original color is a dark gray; the orange is their primer. The lathe has held up pretty well and I even made a lamp out of the Philippine Mahogany that its crate was made from.
Awesome find. I bought a 55ton Edward's two years ago and love it. Mine was delivered on a tractor trailer with a lift gate. Driver dam near dropped it off the back of the truck. I think it was like 2,700 pounds.
SEEMERIDECOM Thats awesome 55ton is ideal I think. Funny how most machines make it half way across the country, only to get damaged at the last stop by a driver who’s in a rush!!
I'm a rigger and I closed my eyes for that unload.. lol.. you do know ironwork is a brand name.. that's a Geka. And just as good as a ironworker. Buffalo made the ironworker.
This is my second one, its a 2019 4x4 and it was $75K all said and done, I waited almost 5 months for it to come over from the factory in Germany, I love this thing, i had my 2014 for 5 years before I sold it to get this one, I never want to drive anything else.
@@jamnben278 $75k is a TON of money, even for a MB, considering it's a stripped down, no seats, no bells and whistles, van. Especially since nothing about it is MB, so don't think you're going to be getting some fancy van or anything like the high end pickup trucks. It has an anemic 188 hp/325 lb ft diesel engine. (The Dodge, GMC/Chevy, and Ford diesels are almost 3x the power and tq of that. So don't plan on loading it up or pulling a trailer. Buy a transit for ½ the price. Or buy a pickup for the same price with way better power, better capabilities, and a much nicer, more feature rich, interior. (Especially if you're not planning on working out of your van doing house calls.) There's no reason to be carrying thousands of pounds of tools and materials around in a van if you're not.
Andrew Delashaw it’s definitely a lot of money, but it’s a “crew” van, with passenger plates, 1 row of passenger seats and every single option available. I think base on this truck is like 45k in 2wd. The 4wd is also nice for a van considering the comparable van companies 4wd is lacking. Just my own experience tho
How on earth do you plan to lift a 40 ton machine with a 2 ton jack? Also, having trouble believing that little machine weighs 76,000 pounds. It surely puts out that much force on the hydro ram, but it doesn't weigh that much. Moreover, there's no weigh a Sprinter could hold 38 tons of cargo. Still impressive, don't get me wrong! EDIT: Keep listening- 1400 pounds. Not bad at all. Hydraulics are amazing things.
@@MakeEverything huh wheres the massive bar or even the pump most big hydraulic machines NEED PUMPS to lift that sort of weight and you can lift it with a small engine crane are you high or something something isn't adding up here
@@xenonram dude to lift 40t you need 500k psi most engine crane rams seals will go if that much pressure went through them that's also not including the extra force from being fully extended since newton's second law.
