Shipping Limitations

Many repairs need to take place at your facility. The example on the right, a 2500-ton press shows the problems that can arise when weight and bulk make trucking almost impossible. Due to overloading of the press the crown was completely destroyed, leaving all the weld joints cracked. Air arcing was required to remove the welds, grinding and welding by procedure restored press and minimized distortion.
