Well we deal with a lot of 1 series so this is why keeping weight down is key, it should be all legal when done, perhaps just over but there is 10% leeway.
I've got a man with a big lorry for the Range Rovers.
I'd like some advice on this please.
Was planning the beaver rails to be 80x40x3mm and the across sections to be 40x40x1.6mm.
Do you think 1.6 will be thick enough?
I was planning on aluminium punched decking at 2mm thick up the sides and maybe some 25x25 box between the across sections where...
OK thank you.
I think we may have settled on ply cladding anyway as burnt and epoxy looks great!
Do we think 80x40x3 bolted to the concrete posts will be strong enough?
The other issue is I can't have gaps down the sides as the neighbours will be able to see in and the Mrs won't have that.
Hi.
I need to build some gates for my house fairly quickly (I'm sure the neighbours love the OSB currently on the drive!
Anyway our drive is outside our back garden so privacy is a concern.
Anyway I have some 80x40x3 box laying around.
I want to make these gates below:

Hiya, I run a garage and we have a pretty decent MIG welder. I'm not a pro but one of my guys is and has been teaching me!
Anyway I'm pretty keen to get a little inverter MIG for the van.
Is it a good idea getting one that does TIG etc as I'd like to get into/have a play welding up ally.
If...
So I've just moved unit into a 70s building.
The floor is pretty bad with patches painted over the years and what looks like random patches of either spilt paint or epoxy screed.
I want to paint it before we move in.
I'm going to hire a petrol powered concrete grinder.
I've never used one...
Moving units and have 2 3 phase rotary lifts I'd like to install.
No 3 phase on the new unit but I will look to see if it goes near the building.
However if not can I easily run it?
They both have 2 2.6kw motors each.
Would I need a convertor for both ramps or can I use one for both...
Yes all allowed.
Do you think that the "floating" idea with the steel angle bolted to the wall will work or can I just use 3 upright supports either timber or steel at both ends of workshop and one in the middle?
I now rent 2 of these workshops and am taking out the concrete wall to make one big one.
We are taking on someone and need the space and desperately need an office.
My biggest question is, I want a small mezzanine but I need it floating as I need to drive vehicles under.
My question is, is it...
Thanks guys!
The lift cables look absolutely fine which is good.
I have spoken to a company who is going to inspect the ramp and service is.
The floor drilled okay. I hit a rebar on one hole.
I bought M20 anchors wish I had bought M18 as while they did fit I did have to tap them through the...
Cheers mate I probably am over worrying just the thought of a Range Rover up high scares me.
Unfortunately it's got to be close to the wall due to space issues but judoing by the last ramp I used which is close to the wall it should be okay.
The car on the arms is further away from the wall so...
Cheers guys.
The floor is at least 6 inches thick as I drilled down with a small bit and could only get 6 before I ran out of drill.
It did drill fairly easily but was only a 4mm bit.
Here's where it is being installed:
I was thinking of putting a beam across the top of the ramp and...
Hiya.
I've bought a used 2 post 4000kgs lift.
It is the type with the beam at the top connecting the two posts.
I want to install it in my unit. The landlord is saying it's about 6-8 inch thick reinforced concrete.
I will be fairly close to a join by 2-3 feet.
I'm thinking of using a...
So a company I do some work for wants a trailer for an IBC which will either be completely full or completely empty.
I was thinking about buying a 1200kgs braked axle then make some 40x40x 2.5mm box section frame on top to hold the IBC with a lip around the front edge and side edges to stop the...
