What about an option for those who have a solid hydraulic press?
Just bolt vice to a substantial plate and grab it with the press over hanging the bridge? Will give a good working clearance all round and as press is occasional use it can be removed when needed.
When i was reading about caravan charging systems 13.5v is enough to trickle charge battery but not in the most effective manor as regards to longevity. Thats where 14.5 + comes in and cycling the voltages to keep the plates optimum. Sounds like that may have been somepart of the issue.

Got the solar panel platform brackets sorted today, just though i’d post as seemed be getting somewhat of a slating in the last few posts ha ha.
Unistrut really worked well ive not used it before but like it. £11.58 per length, from FH Brundel(thanks for the link, its a great site). Defo...
Yeah that makes sense, i’ll experiment. As the drill is only 0.9 hp i might get a smaller one for that, everything else is 3hp so the commando socket suits for that
Oh great i understand now.
I meant ‘known good’ as in the ****** ones, i aint spending mega bucks like most people the chinese version opens a lot of options up.
It tripped the RCD, it said Err1 once and Err 2 other times.
I’ll see if it does it without changing motor speeds next time im...
Just a bump here, im still not sure i have the correct VFD.
Could someone please link to a known good VFD which will be good for 440v I know have three 3 phase tool so i need to get an understanding ha ha
Thank you
It was actually a lot harder to move than the lathe as its a bit top heavy and the trailer deck is a bit slippy. Its got really nice cast aluminium side vents, a bit of a work of art really.
Serial no 2716 colchester chipmaster i think 1963 machine and a Union pedestal grinder. Grinder is very smooth(and heavy). Both 3phase.
Lathe runs and variator is ok but it wont adjust as the on the control wheel gear doesnt mesh with the gear on the variator. Probably/hopefully simple to sort...
Hi folks,
Ive had old pillar drill for over 5 years now and finally got to (try) wire it up.
Drill is 3phase with oversized motor on top and 4 motor speed and gearing to give another 4 when selected.
Some time ago i bought a new VFD, its an AT4. But im thinking its ghe wrong one now ss the...
Really enjoyed this whole thread. Fingers crossed i’ve got a triumph coming my way from a chap i know.
The VFD bits are handy as well.
Cheers great stuff
It was a supplied by scott trailers iwt dealer i think but i bought it off someone else. PGR Products used to make them but they no longer operate.
Ive got another for the tipper but its not so good of a fit cos the brake drums catch on the wheel wrapping part and havent got round to adjusting...
Good shout, the plate is 280mm square and 12mm thick.
So in theory something that can be held that big without flex should be a starting point. In a perfect would as light as possible.
Hi folks, i have a 500kg penny hydraulics swing lift same as one shown below. I’d like to mount it on edge of 14x6 IW trailer bed, and support it with an outrigger. Trailer will be getting a new floor shortly so now is the time to get this sorted.
My question is what size plate or set up do...
