If you want a grid connection for your workshop eventually, the electrical panels with transformers could be a good deal as the utility will charge you a mint to sell you a transformer.. I'd suggest paying an engineer or electrical inspector for a consult and seeing what size and voltage rating you might need and then keep an eye out for something that fits the bill..

Doubt he will have 3 phase 480 brought to his shop. The utility does not sell you a transformer. They usually charge you up to 49% of the cost to install the line to your property. They own the majority so they are responsible. You can, if so inclined to, buy power at high voltage and run your own lines but it is not cost effective unless you have a large farm or facility to do that.

Check the inside of the air tank for rust. I plug all the fitting holes then pour the correct paint/epoxy in and roll it around to coat all the inside. Remove plugs until ready for second coat. Makes tanks last 10 times longer. Daily draining or automatic dump valve are an absolute necessity.

Having been a crane inspector for 15 years I offer something you may not have thought of....All the motors that lift and move in the X and Y direction are three phase.....Unless I miss my guess three phase power is a long way down the road.... you can do single phase to three phase inverter converter system but it has high cost tied to it...Before you modify the rails I would check into the needed power. Hope this helps

I would suggest that you buy that Crane and put it up first, with proper concrete footings and everything else. And then later on assemble the building around it. That makes the most sense to me the crane might even be helpful as a Gantry and to move building materials around. And you sure could use the hell out of it in the meantime. This may require a little rain-proofing if the electrical boxes aren't really designed for outdoors but it's doable.

@davidschwartz5127

build a rainproof cover over the hoist brakes too.

11:29 the brake is inside the transmission, that's why it stalls when you're in gear and hit it too hard. The advantage of this is, you can apply equal breaking action without having four individual brakes on each tire if you lock all 3 diifs. It's also much more reliable as you don't have exposed lines etc.

Some good purchases. Excited for the over head crane. Cannot believe the size of the air tank! Really getting excited about the shop. Much longer?

Looks exactly like the cranes we got at work same colour grating everything they cme from somewhere in the U.S.A. on a wide load lowboy trailer to our shop in sask. Canada . I had to cut out about 7 or 8 feet from the middle and put the two halves back together and weld them back up. Now there 80 feet up in the south shop with a 20 ton and 50 ton crane hoist on them for lifting our tanks and coils of plate metal.

240 gallon air tank is good addition for your new shop, nice find!

All equipment aside, you put together a great video! The little auction slides showing what things sell for and little details like that make for an interesting video. Looking forward to the next one Matt!

I've had 2 great experiences at Ritchie Bros auction. The first I got a 2015 Polaris Ranger Diesel Crew fully loaded. Other than not having a prop shaft when I got it, I was really happy with it. Got a great deal on it pre pandemic. The second was a 2013 F-150. I won the auction, but they called me the next day and told me they couldn't get it to move because the transmission went out. They refunded my money. Can't ask for a better experience than that!

Hi Matt. Can’t wait to see your new dream workshop begin construction , very exciting

If you buy the bridge crane. I recommend getting a certified bridge crane welder to do the modifications. You may remove something or put something on that may cause catastrophic failure. When you shorten a bridge crane you lift ton goes up.

Before you cut down the nice crane: is there maybe a way to mount it in the building with it sticking out the side/back? So you can crane stuff right off the back of something and into the shop area?

Hey Matt, are you hooking up your new shop with 120/208 3phase or 277/480? If you are getting a high voltage feed you could definitely make use of a transformer and dual panel setup from the cracker plant so you can run dual voltage 3 phase (480 for running big motors and lighting and 120/208/240 for regular receptacles and welding 2- and 3-leg setups with 208 or 240 volts)…just thought I’d throw that out there.

Regarding your air tank: I think you want to add a oneway valve on the output side and a oneway valve on the input side plus a overpressure valve which only lets air into the tank when your compressor nearly reached its shutdown point. This way you first fill the small tank on the compressor and the pressure rises very quickly in your whole system, while the large tank will only fill up when your compressor normally cut off. The compressor will then continue to run until the large tank is filled as wwll. When you use a large amount of air the large tank will continue to supply air to your system as long as the system pressure is below the tank pressure. This way it will supplement your air compressor when needed, while you can start working right away as soon as the small tank is full. Make sure to also add cutoff valves on the output side, to allow to cut the air tank off your system, as any small leak will otherwise cost you a lot of money if you don't use the air system for a while and the large tank will empty itself.

They are a little pricy, but if you can find a roots style air compressor they kick a standard piston compressor's ass. Quieter and much higher CFM, we have one in the truss plant and it will fill our entire system in minutes. My guess on the clark fork truck was 5-10 ton. Given how you said the trailer and crane are a sperate video and this one ended with the ol Autocar heading out, maybe you got her ready for work already.

Had a boss that had some Ritchie Bros Auctions each year on his land. Some days you just wanted to duct tape the bosses hands down. He'd buy stuff to use on a project then sell it off after he was done with it. After the auctions I'd have to go up and get our stuff running again because people would do stuff to the equipment to get it cheaper. Like when the bosses kid stopped to pick me up because an old wd45 allis wouldn't start for the auction. One look and I said the coil wire is fake because I just changed the wires and the coil wire looks different. Someone pulled the coil wire boots off and put them on a old piece of hose that later turned out came from the wiper washers of an old truck that was for sale. Was a great way to keep sharp at problem solving after the sales.LOL The old glass fuse gets heated up and they pull the end cap and a little bending and put the cap back on so it don't look blown unless you check it with a test light. After a few times of that he hired a guy to keep an eye on the stuff and the problems stopped. Shame though because it was kinda fun seeing the creative ways people try and get a deal.

Matt, you might want to talk to an electrician as some of those electrical panels might save your a fair $ on your electrical install at the new building. namely the step-down transformers.

1/4" plate steel over 1/4" plate steel Gives you a 1/2" plate steel You can buy one if its cheap enough and make it twice as strong 1/2 the works done. You can deffently upgrade one to fit your needs with just a few changes. You see the weak points. If its a lot less money to buy one and repair the buying a good one Id do it.

I’m sorry but that crane is going to be expensive to install! Sure it looks cool. I have been around those kind of cranes for a long time. In most cases they are seldom used and rarely justify the time and expense of their original installation costs, let alone maintenance and safety testing they are required to have. The motors are most likely 3 phase, so they will have to be replaced. Who is saying it even works properly and safely? To get the full capacity of the crane you will need a complete steel support structure installed, unless you plan to only use it at a fixed point. In that case there are way cheaper ways of accomplishing that. The Richie Bros. Auctions can make you buy crazy stuff! Good luck! I enjoyed the video Matt. It’s always interesting to see what is selling there. I keep thinking we will see your new shop from the drone. Oh well.
