Anyone made jacking legs?

[Woodworks]

Want some on my processor and it would be great if I could adapt the current legs to be jacking ie wind down. Thinking of getting something off the shelf like these http://www.trailertek.com/trailer-parts/jacks-and-prop-stands/props-and-jacksthen cannibalising it but thought I would seek advise first.

Can you simply weld a lug on the outer box and use a Hi Lift jack on those legs like you would a portacabin?

Thanks Eddie

 

It's an option but would rather have it self contained as I work close up to the machine and the less everything sticks out the better.

Can't you use scaffolding legs,just slide up inside box section, if they fit,

Thanks. Those are the ones that I tried to link to but for some reason it didn't work. I was wondering if I get the first one and take it apart could weld the guts up inside the existing leg. How you getting on with your new machine?

Great. Only done about 15 tonne so far but still pleased. A few things need modding.

 

1, weld a handle on to the "fixed" bed so you can move it easier when setting up and putting away.

2, short starting handle and rope so the oh can reach the splitting guard.

3, another starting handle and longer rope instead of the costly splitting levers.

4, add a PTO pump (not to bad a fuel consumption is not bad)

5, upgrade the trailer (fit brakes and re sva to 900kg) part as it is right on the 750 kg no brakes limit, poss even over with full tank of fuel and oil as its that close (weighed it).

6, sort the red log clamp as its terrible on short bits.

[Justme]

Mightiest be easier to fit a clamp on jockey wheel but remove the wheel & fit a foot plate.

 

Will have to look at the space.

 

Or go the whole hog and fit hydraulic levelers.
