The mind boggles

[More Amps]

its certainly not an accident .

Perhaps an accident waiting to happen?

Looks like Tom has a bee in his bonnet for benefit of everyone I wouldn't kill the thread with engaging

IMO the whole workmanship is questionable. The 'welding' is clearly substandard and the strength of the skid inadequate at the load points. Supposing that I beam hadn't just bent, but torn? I've seen it a thousand times in demolition even used it to advantage more than once. Your sling is then pulling around a ragged edge not just a plate with a bend in it. A toe plate welded across the beam at the load point would probably be all it needed and those legs should have web stiffeners above them on the load path (but not welded by the same guy that glued the legs on).

Any lift supervisor who lifted that load twice deserves to be sacked and their ticket pulled IMO.

It’s very obviously clear with abundance that you have absolutely no experience in such matters

Better if you left it to the experts

Anyone who looks at that weld can see it's undercut, not penetrated properly and not even along the complete joint. I can see 5 defects (circled) before we even get to the holes in it. Deficient is an understatement and I am being more than generous there. If I had turned out anything like that in my Crane Fruehauf days I would have been told to go and never come back. It's a disgrace.
Left to right - not penetrated into the joint
Then what looks like a crack
Undercut x 3.
There is (quite literally) nothing correct about that mess of a weld.

I was a little worried posting pics of my own welding on my trike project, they're a little wobbly, like my hands, but it'll never have to hold 60 tons, so I shall sleep soundly.

This thread has got rather out of hand.
The welding is bad and the frame is equally as bad. I dropped it off safely and we didn’t lift it again thankfully.

Also the shipping documents showed where to lift it from. Which was less than ideal.

He seems to hate me for some reason

I dont hate anyone ,,,, never have and never will.

I do think your a total knob jockey , but thats a totally different thing . Youve called me a liar at least three times here , and at least three times Ive actually posted proof otherwise ,,, your not man enough to apologize , thats the way youve been dragged up , and thats fine , but I certainly dont hate you its not your fault .

How much extra work would it have been to make a half decent job? See this all the time, I could understand the motivation for someone rushing or cutting corners if it turned a week long job into a 2 day job, but saving 5 minutes off an hour long job?!!

Brilliant, I have also now stolen this.

Nob jockey. Haven't heard that one for a few year.

The Punjabi version of that is much better

Hope not, it’s an interesting thread about a real world problem where many have offered an opinion

That’s perfectly acceptable standards. Like you said, it’s not going to be carrying 60 tonnes, and it’s vastly superior to the original post in the thread.
