container skell

admin

We had one of customers come in last week with a 40ft container skell that was only set up to carry 40 footers and wanted us to modify it so it could carry 2 empty 20ft or one loaded 20 ft container(25-27 ton's loaded ) this job meant cutting slots in the chassis for the beams to slide through then square them up you only have a + or - tolerance on the diagonal mearsurement of 1/8" so a bit of time is loss checking and triple checking before the welding starts the beams used to carry the 2 empty 20s were 200 UB's there the centre beams and for the loaded 20 ft we used one 200 UC and fabricated one out of 130x16(5x5/8) flat as at the front of the trailer near the landing legs as you can't buy a beam small  enough  and strong enough for the area you have to work with  Attached ImagesCreative metal Creative metal Facebook

Reply:thanks paul i showed my wife some of your projects and she loved them she said why don't you do stuff like my answer was you don't let me keep old stuff around the house  and you won't yet buy the welding gear to have at home to do it  the only big project I've done at home is a remodel of my puter room here is the link http://www.weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread...computer+table  the sort of work in this post paul is my daily norm the news reports you see on TV of 18 wheeler crashes is what the company I work for here in oz do every day its no were near as nice work as you guys do but I get alot of job satisfaction out of getting something totally wrecked and rebuilding to as new or better regards Neil Creative metal Creative metal Facebook
Reply:I find painting something I have just made quiet rewarding, time consuming but rewarding. I like to stand back and admire something I have made from nothing more than an idea and some steel.But I would not mind some spray painters to finish my work for me.Simonhttp://members.optusnet.com.au/~abba/index.html
