  1. I wouldn’t be surprised if the powder coating and cleaning was nearly £2k , jive just had a pair of gate frames and posts coated and they were £500.00
  2. Barclays did mine by £4000 for one payment being day late
  3. I have a old shape avant if the hydraulic difflock is in it will mark surfaces on turning, more so if carried out at more than very slow speed.
  4. I have two machines tested at same time plus fork,crane,shunting / lifting block, turf carrier,and grab attachments for £250.00 plus vat last time
  5. Have mine done every year and my Chains standard practise to be covered and legal. If you work on site it is one of the first bits of paper asked for
  6. Job got cancelled and they didn’t want to leave materials on site they got fined last time they did, customer had already paid for materials might have some work for you eggs give me a call
  7. £300 fine first time caught they were more interested in the truck behind 9 tonnes over and pissing diesel
  8. Merc sprinter van 1 bag ballast 8 cement 2 sheet 142 mesh 6 x20 litres water tools and 2 chaps
  9. Just got stopped 1.2 tonnes over weight 4.7 on weighbridge
  10. Which 3.5 tonne truck carries the most, I’m not looking for a tipper just a flat back drop side. The figures I’m getting for a transit seem to give a payload of around a tonne,
  11. You need to check the the structure before you start work, if any damage is found during the next few years you will be blamed and your insurance will suffer Thanes water employ solicitors just for this scenario and have very deep pockets, check before check after,record your findings it is money well spent. If Thames are bringing this up they either know something or Suspect 12 m is a long way down to do a repair although I’m sure Eggs will be up for it
  12. If mine and Thames were asking I’d put a video survey down the pipe before starting work then you can’t be blamed for something that already existed you need to ask yourself why are Thames water making a fuss,cover your arse!
  13. I would suggest more like 5 to 10 gallons most will run off
  14. On the Old technology. on the instal how did you comply with EN 12453 /12978 to get ce marking I take you used 240 motors via inverter
  15. Nice but why faac
  16. You are right pile of poo another vote for husky although mines electric
  17. Don’t use came un reliable and far too power hungry motors are brushed
  18. Instal the correct system you will have 364 days a year opening plus a intercom you should get 20 openings on a rainy day. Gates need to be made for automation and I usually hang on a metal post to minimise the resistance on the hinges . You can’t have a magnetic lock. The intercom will have to be gsm so you can open the gate from wherever you have signal don’t use truck batteries use a single leisure battery don’t use inverters 230v gates are hard to make safe and use too much energy there is only one reliable manufacturer
  19. Is wire needed could you use electric fence nylon would be easier to instal tension each post and simple to fix
  20. And a good crap before leaving the house
  21. It’s on the internet and available across the pond at the moment from memory 15 metre of full disc cut per charge I might be wrong but it’s not cheap
  22. Even when you are under 3.5 tonnes you can still be overweight on the back axle!
  23. Just put a second service to the front of the loader
  24. My bosch 125mm grinder lasts for 20 mins trigger time with a seven amp hour battery you most definitely get what you pay for with batteries. the best 230mm battery grinder I have used is by metabo a very good quality machine. makita suffer with poor batteries dewalt are a joke for spares and quality. Milwaukee have some very good tools and a 350mm battery disc cutter with a large chainsaw to follow
