What is the load capacity of the Hiab? Close in and at full stretch.

A Vauxhall Crossland bonnet. Brand new, primed.
It came from the factory too damaged to repair, Vauxhall told us to scrap it, I figured I will get some useful sheet out of it.

Those are going to get a bit hot.
Or as I once saw on a piece of pipe ‘rid hote’
South African welder?
They will - but they were free so I can live with it. When I've finished melting I mean welding them they'll still have the same scrap value too
If anyone would like a couple of dozen and willing to come and collect them I'll take the trouble to bring some more home and they can collect them for free. I may well have some heavy ally u-channel and angle to sell too in the near future.

A free Telefix fork brace that was stuck on an old pair of forks I acquired 20 years ago.
Turns out it's the same spacing as the ones I'm using, so quite usable. Some monkey had attempted to unclamp it, but simply wrecked the Allen headed bolts, so it took a bit of heat and the careful adjustment stick applied to a 30 Torx bit to get them out.
All the threads survived, so that's a relief.
Need to get some caphead bolts now, as I'm very short of them.

managed to strip the stairlift down to the basics, will try to cut the big alloy casting so I have two motor / gearbox assemblies, not sure it is possible, 24v but had them running on 12v and they run at very low rpm, like 5rpm, so well engineered, the main drive has an epicyclic gearbox and an electric brake,
Bearing in mind that it's a 35 ton/metre 4 extension crane, which is teeny-tiny compared to my old 60 ton/metre 8 extension crane, she managed a creditable 2980 kg rail crossing at full stretch this week. No idea what she's good for close in, haven't had the chance to try her out yet.

@4 string, Drop me a PM and I will give you a simple way to understand the loading of them.
Have no fear, am fully conversant, (or possibly cognitive?), of how it works.
If it wasn't blowing a hooly outside atm, and I wasn't in bed attired in just my drawers and a t shirt, I'd go and have a look at the load chart to confirm the manufacturer's maximum capacity. But it is and I'm not so I won't

I used to test them. There is more than the eye can see.

I have just acquired one of these. I'm fitting downlights throughout the house for the old fella so thought i would save myself the heartache of measuring out on the ceiling and using a chalkline. Its a dream using this, such a clear laser line.

Looking at the 2nd pic I'm sure he will be pleased with his wall mounted downlighters

I'm not so sure, remember when Skynet became self-aware? Could be the thin end of the wedge:
