I quick repair to RoRo door for my mate demo company. The lads chuck these things around with the grabs on the machines so they don’t stay straight for long!
The door was like a banana so I replaced the top and bottom section, end and middle vertical section and fabricated a new lock plate.
The box section was 80mm x 80mm x 3mm box. I removed the top section first and using 6 Carver clamps I tacked it in place and brought the top of the sheet steel back straight. I then did the same to the bottom rail before lobbing off the vertical sections.
The lock plate was made from 15mm plate and 20mm round bar.
All done on site with an Arcgen and LN25 WFU, 9”, 4.5” grinders and plenty of clamps and a tape measure.
No doubt it’ll be like a banana in no time again though
