A new Linde H35 fork truck arrived last week. It’s our second H35, a 3.5 tonne container spec truck with a triple mast, side shift and Meyer heavy duty foundry grade rotator, essential for rotating stillages in our job. The triple mast allows us to load bulk tippers, rotating stillages into the body, also to tip racks of long aluminium or stainless steel onto the Copex shear loading hopper. The container specification allows the forks to travel to the top of the primary mast section with any gain in mast height, allowing loading in the restricted height of a container. We have in the past loaded a 1000 tonnes into containers for export but used a telehandler. These new trucks have a Deutz engine our original H30 had a VW engine and it worked every day for 15 years, it also had a faultless Meyer rotator. We also have five tonne forks for our Case 521XG, giving us three options for unloading at busy times.

Rainbow days, a lot colder and wilder than it looks.

So, this was another attempt at designing a table with my four tonne flywheel, the one in the second photo here. This time I remembered to say that it was for a garden. The legs aren’t as nice as the previous ones but this time we have under table lighting. ChatGPT also gave a very precise spec, drawings, glass spec, foundation spec, you name it, a lot more information than the first time. It also offered an estimated cost but didn’t supply it when asked.

A four tonne cast flywheel. I asked the question, should it go or should it stay on my own Instagram account earlier today. I’ve already broken the first one a few weeks ago and I haven’t decided what to do with this one. The first one has already been remelted and made into something new. Should I try to sell it, break it or keep it for myself. It’d make a garden ornament or a table for a large garden and I do have room for it. I often think about putting stuff in my garden but by know it would be an extension of the yard. Anyway, I asked ChatGPT to make it into a table with a glass top and steel legs, telling it the size and weight-I think it’s made a pretty good job. Swipe through to see.
