Today I acquired...........

[bricol]

Tested 2024.
When were they commissioned?
They only have a 5 year service life.

The CO2 is 10 years.

Now that useful info . . .

And worrying now I think about it . . . I think the two in my garage are closing on 25 yrs . . .

Thats not so bad, though they were scrapped. Though suspect itll be almost as cheaper too replace rather than service refill etc.

It is not cost effective any more to do a Discharge Test and Refill.
After 5 years of if damaged I always swop out Water, Foam and Powders. Best in the Long Term.
CO2 are different. Most units are swapped out before 10 years, as they are damaged.

How strange. I picked some up yesterday. They were very old and decommissioned, I cut the tops off and use them for storing metal in.
Wifey wanted a stainless one, that became a novelty plant pot.

I do that as well.

SS are getting harder to find, as most manufacture will pay to have them returned.

Now that is nice Mark. What tables did you get for it?

Just this one which tilts and rotates, Quite a lump to manhandle

More pallet racking, 3 ladders 4m tall, and 18 horizontal lengths. Too long for my van unless I had them hanging out past the tailgate but I dont like that, so once more the butchered ibc cages were mounted and it was used to carry them.
Usual method of lots of smaller straps to the bed eyes on the pickup bed, then the 5t straps down to solid mounts on the main chassis.

Its branded dexion but its standard snap together pallet racking so they do more than just the holey nut and bolt assembly heavy shelving we all know and love.
Now to get it off and get it put up alongside all the others, then that'll be at least another month before I run out of storage space on the pallet racking.

Today I acquired a bit more Fakita gear to throw in the truck.The work lamps are surprisingly good,nicely weighted/stable with the batteries installed, grinder has plenty of grunt.

Also acquired some rather nice 3/4” socket rails, never knew such a thing existed, much better than the rubbish tins or plastic boxes they come in.

 

[OJCar]

My new socket storage system for the workshop shed is on the way.

 

[harveyp6]

I like the 3/4" socket racks

I suppose that's another thing I'm going to have to buy......

Edit: just had a look on eBay, and they were nowhere near as expensive as I thought they would be. Oh dear, don't I ever get a break? Buying those will mean I'll need another rollcab.
Will it never end?

Please give that socket with the rust on a wipe with an oily rag.

Sorry if you know this already but don't rely on the little keys you slide in that stop the rails sliding up off the uprights.

They don't work properly and often get knocked out. Drill through the rail and upright and fit an m8 bolt.

Today I acquired, from the supremely talented @MysterG of this parish...

Thanks again @MysterG; lovely to catch up with you both today.

Was good to see you both again.
Glad you like her.

 

[Bobtail4x4]

shiny bits for the traveller, the one on now although fairly new is rusting, and LOUD, two box stainless system should help.

Always worth mentioning, this one originally came with little metal spring tabs as security clips in place of the shaped loose keys and there were a few still knocking round but these were a bit corroded because it lived outside and someone has already drilled and fitted m8 stainless allen bolts and nuts and they'll be going back in on reassembly.

What started as sightings of a lost cat a couple days ago...

Turned into a mouth to feed...

That became very friendly...

And now a guilt tripping heart melting ball of fur

Have temporarily started calling him tux as in tuxedo with the white fur spot but will be going to the vet to check for chip and if nothing find him a nice home which shouldn't be hard as he has a lovely friendly personality!
