    Spider Lift Sub

    You will want to broaden your work load for a Spider Lift. Talk with the local rental places, construction company's, electricians. They are not going to give up there easy work but they will use you when there are no other easy options. We pick up a lot of other work for my Spider Lift, like...

    Spider lift

    You can move the 23GT with the upper boom slightly elevated, if you understand your limit switch's. Only done it in a bind, but use caution as it raises the center of gravity. But for a few feet or to get around a corner it can be done.

    Spider lift

    The adjustable tracks on my lift(23GT) are very important I use it every time I use the lift. Often just to get through a gate, if the ground is not level you can tip the machine to get through. It would be nice if they did not cost so much. But I am not going down that road any more people want...

    Spider lift

    I hear that John. I have not had that problem in my area, most small gates are around 40 inch openings. 36" gate plus hinges and latch. Anyway no problems with the lift so far, replaced a few hoses, still going strong.

    spider lift forum ??????

    There are some things you can speed up on the older models. I installed a upgrade on the turret rotation. The difference went from 2:45 seconds stock to 54 seconds after upgrade to do a full 360 rotation. Made a huge difference when piecing out over buildings. I have some pictures I'll try and...

    Italmec spider lift

    I have to agree with Koa Man. I have only had one problem with my 23GT in the almost 14 months I have owned it. A hydraulic leak on the turret drive motor. Teupen took care of it straight away. No complaints from me on there service. As Wesley said they have been very good to me. I would not...

    Italmec spider lift

    I agree John the lower boom telescope is a must have for us also. It is amazing the places you can get into, also the bucket rotation. I use this feature everytime i use the spider. It's like a lot of other equipment you don't know how you got along without it.

    New GreenTeeth

    There is a spring clip on the shaft of the tooth that expands into a groove in the pocket. All it takes is a hammer to tap the tooth down and turn the tooth and tap back up into the pocket.

    diference between timber wolf tw5 and tw6

    I would like to see a picture of this 40ft trailer with 45 cords of wood on it. Your only talking 150,000# give or take. You will more than likely get 26 or 27 ricks on that trailer if it is at least 96 inchs wide, and you stack it. Then you are talking 45,000# give or take.

    My splitter project!!!!!

    Sharpen your 4-way, the wing part like a chipper blade. 1 angle with the flat side down. And a little up angle on the back of the wings. That will keep from putting down force on the wood. Having a v shape wedge on the wings (2 angle cutting blade), forces the wood down and tries to jam it.
