Sep 25^th, 2018 at 5:03pm New tech started this week and the hoist is coming in tomorrow ! I'll be spending a lot less time on my back lol. Hoist is a custom PKS, 35 feet, 40,000 lbs 4 posts drive on with 2 x 20,000 lbs rolling jacks. Took me a couple of years to get the budget money but it's here now (well technically it will be tomorrow).

It looks like you had to do some cement work for the posts. And you work on some heavy duty stuff. Thats got to be waaaayyy better than working on things like that on the ground.

We resurfaced the floor to get rid of big chips and low spots, to ensure water wouldn't pool under the hoist and anything on small wheels would roll easily. We had to do some mudjacking under the front post section of the floor slab because we found that the ground had washed away underneath. What you see under the post is just a HD grouting, to fill the void after leveling the posts.

And yes ! Gonna be so much nicer to work on the underside of the firetrucks now.

Just doing some wiring, water lines and pump belly pan improvements while on the hoist.
