How to go from a $16000 piece of equipment to $300 of scrap metal in one easy step. Just drop it off a building. Brand new never installed and the crane operator dropped it.
before I got it

After i got it.

Saw this in Charlotte today. Truck load of mulch on Billy Graham Pky Fun times

So what was that equipment before it was dropped?

 

[UncleWillie]

A lift pump platform for an industrial chiller.

That's interesting.......I heard there was a big knockdown drag out fight between a crane operator and I guess his rigger a few days ago here in RTP. They are building another big chiller where I work. I heard nobody tried to break up the longish fight, they let'em slug it out!

 

[UncleWillie]

This was the riggers fault, I wonder if it is off of the same job. I got it from the supplier. He couldn't even sell parts from it after being dribbled.

I can find out If a dropped "lift pump platform" caused the fight.

I.. must..not ..make .racial slur comment about the riggers work...

 

[UncleWillie]

It would be funny if they were the same pump.

If you scrapped that for $300 you left 5-6 on the table from the pumps alone.
I could have moved those in about 30 minutes

In the other pic, that's way too much mulch!

 

[BRUISER]

did you actually scrap that? cause if you did you just threw away some nice pumps and parts

 

[UncleWillie]

They were all beat to hell. The first pic looks really good because it doesn't show all the damage. Part of the deal was it all had to be scrapped. Insurance insisted on it.
