<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 309811, member: 54&quot;][ATTACH=full]102349[/ATTACH] I get these urges often and manage to fight off my initial attraction to impossibly-large and expensive toys, most of the time anyway.&nbsp; Got a real surprise today, a nice lady came into the biz saying she had a full truckload of used machinery for me.&nbsp; I had fully expected a days’ warning at least.&nbsp; None!&nbsp; Wasn’t her fault.&nbsp; It was near lunchtime so I took my one helper and her to lunch at our favorite Chinese restaurant.&nbsp; Then we got organized to unload over ten tons of tools, machines, bin racks, moving dollies, machinery stands, and all manner of stuff.&nbsp; We had her go to the Hoarditorium Annex we just began moving into.&nbsp; Annex has a real loading dock our other place doesn’t and what a huge difference that made.&nbsp; Fortunately we had recently acquired a previously owned (but unused) “dock plate” which is a heavy metal bridge allowing forklifts to get into trucks.&nbsp; We got the whole 53’ truck unloaded in 45 minutes by driving the forklift right into the trailer, grabbing a pallet, and backing out. The former method without loading dock required a couple of people in the trailer bringing pallets to the tailgate with pallet jacks.&nbsp; Then the forklift takes it off the tailgate and drives it to another place.&nbsp; That took 3 to 4 hours every time if nothing went wrong.&nbsp; So the new place is getting “populated” with both equipment we need and some we will sell, which goes where TBD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
