ThomasPowers Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 One of the best deals I ever made included paying a rigger with a forklift to load a piece of heavy equipment rather than "improvising" or using someone who didn't have the experience and skill for heavy equipment loading. I'm cheap, ok notoriously cheap; but I'm willing to pay to get my stuff safely and properly loaded! I paid US$50 for the item at auction and $35 to have it loaded.

marcusb Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 That's pretty much free as far as rigging goes. It usually starts at 3 grand. I'm guessing that was a screw press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstucker Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Im going to pick mine up. The I have a skidsteer to move mine in the shop. It only weighs around 3000lbs. It should'nt be too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason0012 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 There was a 250 pound LG on e bay about a year ago listed for $65,000! I don't think it sold. I just paid 7,000 for one that was about on my doorstep. That seems a tad high for a little giant but well within reason. The Chinese hammers just hit a price point that is way too attractive, and I am shocked that the mechanical hammers haven't fallen in price as a result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesrjohnson Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Brent Baily has two 250 LG's for sale... $10,000 each. I don't think that is a bad price for a hammer that if well maintained will outlast most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfall Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I've spoken with Brent a couple of times in the last week. He is a great guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstucker Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 30-45 days. I'm about 30 days in so far. Then another 30-40 for shipping. I'm getting it shipped to Houston Tx. I don't know if there will be a delay or not because of the flooding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusb Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Interesting side note. It looks like shelving is not a priority over there. Pics I have seen from all the factories show all kinds of stuff setting on the floor. Nice to see they have a paint booth, looks like a nice clean operation.

phabib Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 When mine was nearly done it took them an extra week to paint it because they do it outside and it was rainy. Its nice to see your people have a paint booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Melton Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hey Crappiew, did your hammer get in? If so, what are your thoughts, I recently obtained an ST hammer from Anyang, China. I'm happy so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Melton Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 We had to do all of the shipping and customs paperwork, tax, delivery paperwork, pickup, etc all on our own. The process isn't for everyone. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlblohm Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I was wondering about that. I have a buddy that his wife is an accountant for a huge dairy farm, i would have her do all that. The quote i got you could hardly read because of letters and numbers being printed over each other. Well i just went into my emails and they sent me a new quote that i can actually read. $2,300 USD for a 20 kg hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
