Bad Day At Work

[BKLYNH2]

I wouldn't exactly consider it your bad day. For the riggers and the company who owned the machine it sucks but I hope you will be getting paid to repair it a second time. Nothing wrong with having lots of work on your plate these days. Be thankful that no one was hurt. Rigging accidents can be very deadly.

2-H2's, Was a company called Duncan Rigging. They had the machine on "skates" when one corner and a skate went over the edge of the pit/foundation as they were moving it into place. Machine came back to us yesterday and appears to be about 4/6 weeks worth of work/damage.

Thanks for the heads up on the Dunn Brothers out there also.

Thanks again, Ed

The machine was fixed with the repair cost being around $74,000.00, the Duncan Bros did have insurance so all is well there.

Now we have two larger machines (1200 ton HPM diecasters) to repair for another customer, approx weight each, 140,000/150,000 lbs. Had to use a 20 ton mobile crane and our 50 ton overhead crane to unload the truck. Love working with large machinery and equipment, gives a large sense of pride when done

A really bad day is when folks are soo bad they have nooo insurance!

Rumor at first was that they hadn't paid their premium but thank goodness that was incorrect info.
