Where is everyone #5

I'd probably either mount it with rubber bushings so it has some give or mount one end solid and slot the other mount to allow for the flex. You need to measure the arch in the 11' span and go a little extra.

 

^^^^^ this... anchor one end and fix a hook or slot style support on other end. Needs to be snug to eliminate as much movement as possible, maybe even incorporate a coil spring or heavy rubber bushings on hook end.

 

3rd drop in Cambridge Boston, homeless guy with a sign on the corner saying will work for money or food. I hand him a 20 he says "thanks a lot brother! Now get back to work! "


I'm torn on how to feel about that

 

As a Bostonian...

Where in Cambridge?

 

I’m gonna get #### for this by the Pete/KW lovers on here... but this freightshaker is nice.

Granted. Anything is up from these fleet specced trucks but ya know

 

Right by Harvard.

 

Thanks guys!! This is kind of what I was initially leaning towards doing.

Another thought I have been working on this morning, is to attach it only to the main beam with some sort of a hanger that goes over, down the inside and under the beam. I could bolt 1 end, on the bottom, to keep it from moving and let the other end float.

 

You might try simply clamping it around the beam. Run one bolt or redi rod thru the inside of the cabinet over the top and one on the bottom to a clamp plate on the other side. Use a piece of pipe over the bolts to act as a roller and also a stop so it doesn't clamp tight on the beam. This would allow it to float on the beam. You would need to put stops on each end connected to the beam so it doesn't roll away.

Just a thought.

 

We came up with a solution similar to this. We're going to bolt the front solid and put tabs on the back that will rest on the bottom flange of the main beam to help carry some of the weight.
On the rear, we're putting (2) 4" long pieces of heavy wall pipe through the box frame near the top. These will be greasable. Then we'll run solid Cold Rolled Round through the pipe and secure it to some heavy flat strap that will hang down and bolt to 2 cross members. This should allow the end of the box to slide as the trailer flexes.

 

Jobsite I’m assuming?

I grew up in the Back Bay on the corner of Clarendon Street and Commonwealth.....somehow I became a truck driver.
