    Baz, don't let the internet TROLLS get to ya!! They are all seeing and NON knowing! Tony did a great thing by bringing this to you. Not sure, is a great clue that he wants to learn! And you teaching them is how everyone learns!

    Great video as always Baz.
    Now from my own experience as a excavator Operator of 23 years, regarding the Dig dig lifting device. Unless the machine it's mounted to is fitted with of hose rupture/check valve on the bucket ram/cylinder then its not fit for purpose. Most machine manufacturers do not fit these safety valves to the bucket ram/cylinders, they only fit them to the boom and dipper hence why all crane/lifting operations with an excavator should only be done with the bucket ram fully extended so that if the hose bursts the loads can not suddenly drop. All excavator manuals will tell you that lifting with the bucket ram retracted is a big no no.

    Anyone pointing a finger at a guy for not being shown something has never worked in maintenance. I found myself guilty of laying the fault on one of my guys, only to find out that I didn't train him on the task. I apologized to him and the guys in the shop. I had one of the senior rated guys re-train/ train the both of us together, and then had him walk me through the task until he felt comfortable. Lesson learned on my part. Baz is a top man for not blaming, and identifying a failure in the training process.

  • @troykitchens9924
    @troykitchens9924 10 месяцев назад +4

    A central location for a rack of some sort with a bin for the chains would keep the lifting devices out of the muck and keep track of them. Outstanding device!!!

  • @Lwplantltd
    @Lwplantltd 10 месяцев назад +2

    I get what you’re saying about the sure lift, but you still have the same problem with the chains binding if you crowd the bucket ram closed all the way, you also run the risk of it ‘falling’ if the bucket ram doesn’t have check valves fitted, whereas on the hitch, if used correctly (bucket ram open all the way) that can’t happen

    • @TYSuggested

      Yeah never lift with a curled in bucket cilinder when it doesn't have a hose rupture valve fitted.

    Nice repair on the Crusher .Tony did the right thing. Really good repair on the dog bone 160.You absolutely right a good fab shop can save you a fortune. But sadly most don't want to invest in a decent workshop or welding equipment.

  • @hammer1212
    @hammer1212 10 месяцев назад +3

    I like the sure lift kit. I would recommend a clevis/ shackles with a welded nut or pinned nut . It would ensure that some numb nuts wouldn't take it off and used it on the JCB extended boom fork lift, leaving it in the muck..
    Especially if you are going to send them out with hire equipment.

    That Sure Lift, such a good, simple idea. A great bit of kit. Some of the stunts and bad practices I've seen with lifting gear is frightening. Dragging chains through the dirt and across concrete destroys them very quickly. Soft strops chafing on rough, burred steel hitches etc can be destroyed in a second . Hopefully , any serious consequences can be avoided by the mandatory inspection of the piece of kit prior to use. LOLA is watching over us and for a very good reason.

    @marcusd2380 10 месяцев назад +1

    Another good one. The sling hitch u have shown there. Over with us in NI a lot of boys weld on 2meters of I section and it gives a lot more reach for using a digger to place roof trusses etc. one nice feather on it would be to have integrated storage on the hit hitch for the chains. U head cold flue has cleared up unlike mine

  • @paulf2529
    @paulf2529 10 месяцев назад

    As a machine operator, the sure lift looks spot on, beats rooting around trying to find the chains and the visibility is great as oposed to the quick hitch eye.

  • @jacobpace4716
    @jacobpace4716 10 месяцев назад +2

    Hey Baz i usually make my sockets a lot longer by cutting the "1/2" female drive off the back of the socket and weld a pipe that will fit over the threaded rod back onto the socket where i have cut the female off. Then just weld the female "1/2" drive on the back of the pipe giving you an extended socket. Saves the struggle with a ratshit spanner any day!

    Another enjoyable video Baz , what an invaluable tool that lifting hitch is should make the job run smoother. Another great fix on that crusher, yet again it highlights the abuse they take out on hire. But your idea of having them inspected before they leave site should make getting money for repairs easier. 👍👍

  • @BrasherFox
    @BrasherFox 9 месяцев назад

    Baz, I know jack all about heavy hire etc. That Sure Lift looks a good bit of kit, I'm sure in a yard your size or a yard of any size really, you could have a designated storage area exclusively for those Sure Lifts and their relevant sizes so the operators know where to find one at a moments notice and where to replace it. You could also stamp a serial no into the side plates so you can record its use and when it needs testing. I can see there is a plate riveted on the side but would that survive heavy use? Like the nice bright colour which will be easy to spot. Give my regards to the Director for putting together some great video. Seems we all forget his input.🙃

    @natecole3751 10 месяцев назад +1

    Bas, i have a question. Do these crushers ever get pressure washed while they are on site? I know its a muddy operation but the machine is complex and i cant help but think that a weekly pressure wash would do wonders to keeping the machine in operation longer. It would also give someone the chance to actually "see" any issues developing before a failure occurs. Just a thought. Thanks in advance!

    • @welderfabber

    Another great episode, guys. Can't wait for Saturdays to come round to see what you are up to this week. I can't believe the conditions the crushers come back off hire in. The operators must walk about with their eyes shut for them to get in such a bad state. I fully understand why it frustrates you, Baz. I would love to know roughly how much per annum the fab shop saves the company. You are well worth what you all get paid.👍

    Good video Baz what some companies are doing around me in Somerset is when crushers go out on higher a man they send a man out with the crusher and he can monitor and if if anything goes wrong everyone knows where they stand it works well as slew drivers have one less thing to worry about and someone else can just focus on the crusher working it’s saves the company that higher then out good money

      @@fendt5163 if the hook was on the bottom like most lifting blocks that go on excavators it wouldn’t be so bad it would be same down forces as a loaded bucket and the load would be distributed through the hitch but then it would get damage every time it was taken off the machine as the hook would be against the floor.

    Excellent content Baz, the fabrication skills you and your guys have is impressive, even more remarkable the dedication to work from 6:00 each day and stay till jobs are completed. Really good job on the push link by Cal, getting the measurements and alignment spot on could not have been as easy as it appeared. Just disappointed to see the waste of money on electric trucks, we all know they are a government sponsored (tax fix) fad that will never work in the long run. Hope you have the freedom to give some honest reviews down the line when they get scrapped or catch fire. Can you give us a detailed run down of them, what's the claimed mileage, is there a heater in the cab for cold winter mornings? Directors work 👍

    If you've got screener crushers out on long term hire do you not go round and do a 6 weekly service/basic pdi surely that would catch a lot of problems saving down time/revenue.
    The lifting attachment very good idea great in pink.

    Hey fellas, another great video, thanks. On those crushers it seems common that the tapers should be checked weekly but frequently aren't. Considering the damage, costs and PITA that failing to chek them causes I was wondering if you could have made a shroud tacked to the side and under the shroud a highly visible tag, very similar to wagon-wheel indicators, that drop below the shroud when the Jaw-nut loses torque and reveal something like "Loose DO NOT USE MACHINE" I think they would be cheap to make (laser cut) and easy to fit. Just a thought. Keep up the good work.
