    Refrigeration

    Ammonia is a very common refrigerant, best if you ask me! Been in the industry for many years, we use if for everything from space cooling to process freezing, some engine room have in excess of 5k HP in compressors and 50K and over lbs of ammonia on site.

    Living with a Lift

    I'm going to take Killahog's advice and put up some posts with the measurements for each of the different lifts I'm considering, then pull the truck in and see how intrusive each set up will be.

    Living with a Lift

    My only issue with the 4 post is using it for items like wheels and brakes, I like the idea of being able to put my Trans Am on it and part under it though

    Living with a Lift

    I will have to do some measering to see what work best, my shop is pretty tight, I do have a 12' X 12' door where the lift is going but not sure on depth as I have work benches in front as well as pallet racking in front

    Living with a Lift

    Thats the idea!!! I didnt think about that, so as long as I have uprights long enough to raise the arms higher than my truck I would be good, how about the placement of the uprights to the door opening on the vehicle.

    Living with a Lift

    That's what I'm thinking, I guess that was part of my question, can you park in such a way that the lift isn't a big deal during normal parking?

    Living with a Lift

    Considering purchase of a lift for my shop, I have 13' ceilings. My question for everyone is about living with the lift, I park my F-150 crew cab in the bay that I would install the lift in, so for most of the time my truck will have to sit in the lift. Does anyone else do this?

    current wiring project at work, thought i'd share.

    Hey that looks very familiar, I have built many control cabinets using compact logix, contrologix, PLC-5, SLC, etc... Actually to the KISS this is fairly simply compared to how things used to be done. Once you understand how a logic controller operates and what the controller can do then it...

    I recently found one of these post vises in an old tool shed. The only problem is the vise box is missing, everything else is there. I cannot find a maker on mine either. I would really love to rescue this vise and put it back in service in my gun shop!
