this weeks project is restoration of S 60 genie boom lift
it rode a miller type trailer into a roadside gully when the pintle hitch fractured /separated from Freightliner dump
two Peterbuilt recovery vehicles winched the genie onto a beaver tail trailer and in process shredded ground control +platform and aerial control
right rear wheel and tire mangled
now at my shop I lift rear of machine--to remove tire and rim--genie rolls forward planting frame in ground
I planned to fab toe jack but implemented Chisholm Moore ratchet jacks in my inventory--these were bespoke made for US military --gang of 4 would lift 20 foot conex laden at 48K
I chopped 16 inches off top of one CM unit and placed under rear frame--these jacks are rack and pinion--it lifted all 12,000 lbs with around 20 lbs crank handle force
walking beam and bottle jacks used for added insurance
so the torq hub planetary is ready for new rim+wheel
and I will then focus upon upper and lower controls plus new platform
