They have to have Emergency Shut Downs now in the lines.it took them 12 hrs to bleed down the pressure on the pipeline before we could cut it open to replace it. The yellow one in the pic was running at about 700 psi when I was sandblasting it. They knocked the pressure down for me to work on it.....lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

retro 4,048 Posted March 9, 2021 I can't believe that overpass didn't get shifted on the footing a bit. It looks like the support beam got bent is all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted March 9, 2021 hard to explain how the last beam of the bridge was struck, (south side, when the road is a north bound) it had to be on a low boy, or drop deck, the driver should have dumped the air bags to lower the load, IF, the rig had that suspension system.

Different manufacturers have different names for the same part , Rotek is the main supplier of swing bearings , so some call them a Rotek bearing also called turntable bearing , slew bearing , rotary bearing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted March 10, 2021 @TBRider thoughts on this setup ? a few changes i would have made, one, I'd have parked it closer to the structure , that way if the hoist did fail, I'd land on a roof and not drop all the way to the ground. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBRider 1,407 Posted March 10, 2021 I'd do it, that lift can handle the weight....lol 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
