Bad Day At Work

[Easy Ed]

We (ITL) rebuilt a 600 ton (clamping force) HPM die casting machine in approx 12/13 weeks that weighs 58,000 pounds and was destined for Gladwater Texas, Semi and trailor came into our plant on Friday so we could load it onto his trailor with our 130 ton over head crane and all went well here. The truck and machine made it to Texas this morning in one piece. Texas Die Cast hired some local riggers to move the machine into their plant and into place, this is where it went all wrong. The machine had to set in a small pit to trap oils and waste material, the problem seems to be that the riggers sat the machine on the edge of the pit, just alittle to close some would say and would be right, over it went landing on its side like a wounded critter, a $230,000.00 wounded critter. Riggers have insurance so that is good cause they are shipping it back to us for required repairs this week.

Mondays Suck at times.
