TacFun, I hear you. Been thru a very similar situation. A long time ago, but still remember.

The bottom falls out, and you're hanging by your fingernails. Not fun, not easy, and not quick - but recovery is possible. And you've got some like-minded mates here.
Thank you.

You are working. That's the main thing. It won't take long but it will seem so until you're on the other side.

Is there any overtime available? You're in the best position possible to work OT.

She is a whopper for sure.  :cool2:

I think the largest press any employer of mine had was 1000 ton. I do recall seeing some larger than 1000T at the Peoria Cat plants back then, but don't recall if they were as large as that press.

It is always cool to be around huge, or high tech machines and equipment that most folks never get to see.

Thanks for sharing that!

Temporary to stay compliant with OSHA fall protection standards. If the machine was being installed the rails would also indicate a need for permanent rails to be installed to replace them. Fairly indicative there is a fall hazard there anyway.

Exactly. Only for installation purposes.
