It was tandem lift with a crane

That would sort the men from the boys.

Obviously as you know a lot you’d also know a large load needs double required capacity at least because load centres are being exceeded.
Your phishing is annoying
You weren't meant to lift the crane as well
Assuming everyone is incompetent is the only way to survive sometimes.
Other half's dad was killed by someone "knowing" the limits of their lifting equipment on a building site. That "knowing" didn't help her, her brother and certainly not her mum much over the years. He probably didn't much care either way after it happened . . . but I bet the lads using shovels to pick him up had the odd moment later . . .
But as you were . . .

Lets all calm down here Pressbrake works on his own so it's not like he put anyone else at risk even if he was pushing the boundaries. It's safely on the floor so no harm done.
Might be just better to keep those 'pucker moments' to yourself if they happen. Then people don't have a point of view to put forward about them.

Congratulations, you beat @gaz1 to that....

Not cranes but our last few forklifts have the hydraulic lock out when you get close to the limit, old ones beeped at you and you could feel if you were pushing the limit, new ones just lock out, bad enough on a nice flat concrete floor but on the field they're dangerous, the manufacturers have obviously gotten better at implementing them though as last couple are nowhere near as bad at cutting out.

True, but how can you tell people you don't give a flying f* about their opinion if you don't give them chance to voice it?

Any loads involving lift and move require a pucker
Even if I was using a 50ton jmg forklift I’d be fully aware and on edge to act quickly
Very true. Even moving my little 1500kg lathe you have to be careful. Always a relief when the job is done.

There are things i would love to post and show my working days, but then think can i really be bothered explaining myself into extinction why i am still alive because i am leaning over a high ledge or parapet with a drill. There are times in this life when someone just genuinely knows what the hell they are doing with there own calculated risks without mindless interference from know all,s....ready for an ear bashing

Clive had, I believe, some help with the ££££s. But all credit to him for pulling it off. I doubt there's anyone else on here who could have achieved it. The seller did not make it easy. I think Clive may now have to sell a lot of English Wheels, Vices, Anvils, etc. He's going to be a busy boy!
@pressbrake1 how long to get properly up and running?

Thanks Laurie
I’m hoping to get things rolling fairly soon.
Got to clean grinding dust that’s stuck to it first. Levelling is hard work on heavy machinery as well!
I was told the table lube pump had failed. On the butler machines the motor sticks out the side and tends to get broken off by forklifts , this one no exception which is excellent news as I was worried about a machine being used during pump failure and serious galling of the ways.

The pump position ! With the space I’ve got that’s probably enough to stop the forklift getting past
