Work pics from Europe

Cause most pictures are in some kind forklift related in the forklift section. Some weeks ago I bought a cylindrical grinding machine in southwest Germany. Here are some pictures of the dismantling load and unload Going up backwards the only way to go.

Quite narrow site in a residential area

Unload in my yard The hyster inside the building was a rental machine , this one is mine

How’s that landscape brick hold up with the lift truck on it?

In the last picture ? The brick is 120mm thick. No real issues even with bigger forklifts. it gets a little bit ripply but nothing more. I hope this is the right word. I'm always struggling with adjectives.

Underground is sand in my case but works

Bigger stuff in the same yard

Special equipment for narrow spaces. Unfortunately not my forklift. I just traded the press. Machine is 17.5ton . Capacity of the forklift is 30ton

I have to say an electric forklift with the same kind of slide-back weight that a big road construction crane would have is interesting new thing to me. I wonder if thats purely 100% battery weight in that box there?

Much like the old wood block floors in factories. No rebar, so no span strength to it, so YMMV in your situation.

Click to expand... the black box is the li-Ion battery, yes. sure it does not have the same power as a diesel but the guy who owns it works most of the time for some Mercedes Benz plant in our Area and for emissions reasons he has no choice but to use an electric. he mainly move heavy material, I think a rigger would be the correct term. so he can live with the relatively small battery capacity. for a normal use in a big logistics company or a port it is too slow and too less battery capacity. but unfortunately we are on the way to net zero. not the best times TBH moveable counterweights are also common in the US with Versalift forklifts. but also a brand mainly used by riggers.

Your Mileage May Vary, another way to say that one's experience may be different from another's experience.

thanks, yes that's correct. I think it is mainly a question of size here. the yard is that small you can't really accelerate. in a big yard there could be a problem when engaging the brakes at full speed

There is not much to grow , not much green around and my area is hot in the summer. Rain is almost nonexistent in the rhine valley.

In Western Alaska, once you get away from the coast and up into the YK Delta, concrete and crushed rock is unobtainable, unless it’s a government project and money is no issue. Some of the large airplane hangers use that brick for the floors. It works pretty well.

The stuff I have seen are made with a tiny bit of draft angle, so the joints are widest at the top. There is a special resin sand broomed on the surface to fill in those cracks and seal things up.

thanks for posting some different stuff. I have done some inside work with 5K hysters and can appreciate it. Mostly elevator crates for those technicians.
