First problem encountered. Why do they do that???

Probably because the production people are not Refer People, and are under pressure to go as fast as they can.
One formerly fine American Manufacturer now assembles junk and trades on the name they used to have.
Another sends us junk that needs to be rebuilt on the site. We recently had to send back a $60,000 USD condenser because it was damaged in assembly and could not be repaired.
But the price competition means that a manufacturer who does a fine job cannot sell his product.
This does not include every one. FES and Frick still make good products, and innovate at the same time.

'ere Frank, Mister Elfan Safetee here.

Not one hard hat did I see, tsk, tsk.

Mind you, if you drop one of them a plastic hat won't stop it.

Great pictures Frank, thanks for sharing.

TEV's fitted wrong way round :eek:, poor maintenance, inexperienced techs looking after it etc

Look again Brian - my engineer on the back of the flat bed has his hard hat on as do I and I'm only taking pic's. :)

The guy in the compound is the slinger that came with the crane.

Hope some of you out there can post some pics of your projects
