  1. so they are in series, you could just undo 1 link between battery 4 and 5 this would give you a 24v and a 12v. on the 24v use https://www.ctek.com/products/professional/mxt-14 on the 12v use https://www.ctek.com/products/vehicle/xs-0-8 these are top end chargers that will condition and not just charge.

    CAT Scanner

    only any good for electric really, i have one myself. Water doesnt matter as can fix yourself assuming not a 12" main! Gas wont be found.
  3. i expect they are 6 or 12 volt batteries wired up in serial/parallel so maybe could use a ctek
  4. Hopefully they not going tits up. https://auction.newengland.co.uk/lots/auction/palfinger-sale-2/brochure
  5. none of the cheap 100 or less measure height, they measure the length of the line. Nothing stopping you using a straight line laser with an angle finder and then doing the math. http://www.tiem.utk.edu/~gross/bioed/bealsmodules/triangle.html Or you can buy a machine and press the button. You need the leica on a tripod so it can do the trigonometry and give you a actual height measurement. Should get a used one for £3-£400. We use one on site for measuring roof heights and pitches.
  6. its NOT the dogs fault. That's an chicken$hit was of dealing with it.

    the brikkies will be up the scaff and wont be coming down to speak to joe public. The telehandler will know who to ask and will be around the access to road to talk to. Drop him a £20.

    goto nearest big site, find the telehandler driver. Tell him you got a £600 weekend job for a brikkie.
  9. or monthly if you find cash flow is hard.
  10. sell digger, the purchaser pays the finance comp direct, you make up any loss. Expensive mistakes are the best ones to learn from.
  11. its not going to pull 125amps to charge a little saw battery. Thats just the max rated, I would expect it to actually draw maybe 150w at peak dropping to 50 or so when it trickles.
  12. from the size looks like a 1000w inverter, and no there wouldnt be any difference in charge time.
  13. why not just get a normal 2kva inverter and plug in the normal charger. Charge time wouldn't be any different. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LCD-Pure-Sine-Wave-power-inverter-1500W-Peak-3000W-DC-12V-TO-AC-240V-UK-Socket/182263954517?epid=1141929273&hash=item2a6fc73c55:g:zGwAAOSwYlJW3tGo
  14. nowt wrong with a jock in a frock.
  15. jesus. HSE will have a field day.
  16. yes thats the theory. In practice no small firm can afford, or morally should, pay someone who is not working. I'd put the firm into admin/pre-pack first. As for breeding age females. As far as your firm is concerned it is the same as 9 months off on the sick. Again having to pay for no work.
  17. You broke the law. It's the job that is redundant not the employee. He could take you to cleaners with compo. Sad but thats the system, small firms should only take on subbies just too expensive otherwise. Same with females of breeding age way to expensive to even consider.
  18. for me its not about who decides what, its at what point the fetus is considered a life. For me its when it has a heartbeat. At that point the human should have the same rights as any other human. I would like to abort quite a few fully grown feral junkie scum and would gladly extend the time to say 60 years but that would be emotion talking.
  19. On the flip side you will keep the original train weight so may well be able to tow 5+ tons on a pre-97 car licence.
  20. all loads are vertical once lifted! Can you link to the engcon doc stating that ?
  21. i know the frock wearers north of hadrians have some funny laws but to convict a defacto underweight trailer is rather silly. I would be using the legal assistance with the insurance. More likely this was magistrates (if jocks have these) and they are clueless about most things I've found. Solicitors in Mag court are to law as lidl chainsaws are to stihl.
  22. you could always use a pulley its cheap and simple. 9 or 10 to 1 will pull the wallet out of a jocks pocket. Simple Steel A-Frame, doesn't need to be as high as the post but high enough to pull it a couple feet. Then rig a pully http://www.balancecommunity.com/slack-science/9-to-1-pulley-system/ Here is an extreme example of pulling down a bloody big tree stump and all.
  23. I've just done this with 4 of the 70's council style concrete posts used for chainlink fence by public footpaths. You can see the first of them at the corner of the wall behind the log pile. It's little jobs like this that makes me really appreciate the engcon, while it could not be justified for this alone, all these small 'bonuses' to add up. Rather than burning an hour of physical labour it took 5 mins and I was on with next job. Imagine the bucket attached and flat on the floor with the gripper behind it clasping the post, then crowd the bucket using it as a lever and pop out she came complete with base.
  24. What you think this will end up going for Eddie? https://autoline.info/-/auction/wheel-excavators/VOLVO-EW-140-C-Hjulgravare-med-tiltrotator-och-skopa--18092014184481590300 whats the crack registering to use on road, do they have to have number plates? Can’t remember seeing plates on duck girls vids?
  25. 10 ton min , 13 really as I need reach and lift. Placing the beams for block and beam would be amazing and the big spans are bloody heavy. hows it work on the road, do they have number plates ?
