How smooth does a floor need to be for a pallet truck?
cornish wood burner replied to Woodworks's topic in General chat
You can get ratchet pallet trucks that use handle movement to help you over roughness. Streets ahead of a normal pump truck but electric is best especially if your surface is poor. A manual truck will give you a good workout if the surface is rough though. 4 wheels better than two. -
Tried your local bearing factor? They will just need to measure the diameters.

A company that chips for us runs their lorry and chipper on red. 10 wheeler and I believe no HGV or no tacho. It's all built as one unit though. No travelling on motorways as its agri.
-
Agreed, proper kit is normally quicker and safer. Also with the policy of " if they break they get replaced" which sounds like there is a good chance of no LOLER inspections then you definitely would not want a second person around. Presumably no ticket would mean no insurance payout.
-
Presumably you have the hiab, chains, and slings inspected and tested?
-
Over the years I've seen several welds let go through lack of penetration, many cracks due to fatigue and poor manufacture resulting in high stress concentrations. This is why I was thinking best to buy the correct items rather than get joe down the road to make it. I'm sure a short piece of scaffold piece would do it especially if kept short and has had an event free life. However from the replies I wonder how many of you bother with LOLER.
-
So if you have them made up will they be tested/ inspected etc? If not and something broke and someone was injured then you would be in trouble not to mention having the injury or worse on your conscience.
-
It does tighten a bit sometimes if you have worked it hard but always manageable in my experience.
-
Good idea Thanks Stubby just seen your reply
-
Or you could use an Internet conversion site, just put in 14x7x1 =98 cubic ft Site I found did give 2.77 Big J has given the best advice though, he just needs a few more decimal places to be accurate

Remote control micro toggle switches
cornish wood burner replied to Ty Korrigan's topic in Maintenance help
RS probably do them -
Bit of 6mm plate with a reinforcing across corners should do it. At least 50 or 60 x6 on its edge for the cross and probably overlap the hole by 50 mm if your location pieces are a tight fit.
-
Volume is in "liters" so presumably it comes from over the pond. I didn't think they even acknowledged anything metric. Perhaps they forgot a Pi in their equation on purpose.
-
Hopefully they have come good again. Ours lost all the paint underneath. Mechanically was sort of OK. Our old Sprinter is better though. Anyway just keep an eye on the chassis paint. Perhaps a coat of waxoyl if you get a problem. Enjoy your new wheels.
-
I hope Iveco have improved the underbody paint/protection. Our 08 is just about rusted out
-
Volume does seem to be consistently low.

Sorry ignore that been a long day

Doesn't seem to work out right

Hi Steve I wouldn't say I'm the best qualified to offer you advice but in the absence of better here's my thoughts. We use a Oregon jet cut at work but one port doesn't grip small line very well. Still ok for over 3mm and still another pair we can use but it's not done a huge amount of work. Might be a one off but it does suggest a weakness with small lines. I would say the Oregon has a more swept holder so easier on the line if you are into the really heavy stuff with a powerful machine. My own Portek head needed the thread on the aluminium disc refixing with loctite as it came unscrewed when changing line. Was really tight though as it had been strimming sheep net. My conclusion from my limited use would be if you are using big line in a head for heavy work on a 2kw plus machine go for the Oregon jet. Smaller line on smaller machine then perhaps the Portek.
-
Portek also do a precut line head. I use 4 mm diamond edge or the Portek line in mine, cuts almost anything if you keep the revs up.
-
Looks like there may be room behind the break to bridge it with a piece of flat with a stud in the original position. Hold the flat in position with two small bolts, probably need to tap threads for them if room is tight.
-
Biggest problem you will face if you buy your own chipper is its a very steep learning to set it up for the best production and quality. A small boiler will be very susceptible to poor quality chip and you probably will get a lot of feed problems. Muzmax produces one of the best quality chip samples I have seen if you really are going down that road. We have had many different chippers chip for us and believe me if the machine is not set right it makes a big difference in quality and quantity.
-
Better to hire someone to chip for you in my opinion. No tractor, no sharpening blades,no breakdowns to worry about and extra help when you chip if you go the chip route.

What are these two clips called?
cornish wood burner replied to Woodworks's topic in Maintenance help
It certainly can. An "R" clip is often used in a clevis pin especially if it is going to be removed often but other fasteners such as split pins are also used. -
Exactly. Our bungalow had a tie on it when we bought it. No problem as I was employed in agriculture/ horticulture. We did get the tie removed before building an extension, but you will need valid reasons and best to talk to a specialist. More like 60% of normal market value with a tie around here.
