Yep, I work in a fab shop. We are now building a platform to bolt it to before it goes up above the booth to distribute the weight more. Thanks all for the info.

We have a new air compressor that weighs 815lbs and the footprint is 6.5ft x 2ft. The placement of choice is on the roof of a grinding booth that has a load capacity of 45lb/sf. What type of calculation do I need to do to determine if this is an approved placement? What advice can you give me...

Does anyone have experience using a product like this? I am looking for a solution for a welder that has difficulty seeing in shadow areas of frames he is welding. https://www.eastwood.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=11614

Tornado and severe weather is here. A year ago, we identified some vulnerabilities in our alert system at work (assembly shop and welding shop - 2 buildings). During the MN tornado drill (side note - postponed due to receiving a hefty blizzard that day!), our employees could not hear the county...

looks like it would be a great shoe caddy :)

I know right!?!

Hi! New to the Garage Journal - but have been reading the board for several months. We purchased a home in Minnesota in September with a 3 stall heated garage. We are experiencing a lot - I mean a lot of snow this winter and the vehicles are tracking in snow. When they melt off, water/mud/etc...
