    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.

    School me on Load Capacity

    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...

    TM Technologies (tinmantech) Warning

    Battery Straps

    We have some heavy batteries that we lift into a material mover unit we are manufacturing. The battery straps do not work well on this particular battery. We do not have a strap available for the jib. (do they exist for safe battery lifting?) A team lift is awkward. We are currently lifting...

    Millstead Select Maple - anyone familiar?

    yes, I find the few items HD has, but not what I am looking for. I would guess these rails and ballisters are 15-20 years old.

    Millstead Select Maple - anyone familiar?

    In our "new" house we are attempting to finish a stairway and match some railings and ballisters that already exist. An existing post has a sticker on it yet (I've attached a pic).

    Winter- Water pooling in garage

    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.
