I think a c-clamp on the rail for safety to not slide off the end. Also if you bias toward the far end of the sheet so the forklift end sags like you did, but cut a hunk of 4x4 post at the far end of the 'bridge-bar' to 'pinch' between the bar and the S-beam which will limit tail sag. Love the paint job. As far as safety, if you magnets can handle it, if the S-beam bends too much, you know you better think about it. An absolute MUST-HAVE with the laser table and fork lift. Excellent engineering.
Ramsey customs. Very nice looking I have to say. Just wondering though ,the part that slides over the beam,have you tried putting a stress test to a prototype ? For some reason it looks like it would straighten right out or bind on the beam. I'm definitely not an expert but I would have went with 3/4". But hey what the neck it seems to work fine. What an amazing job those water jets do. Glad I found your channel keep up the good work my friend.
nice job! i think i would add another slider on the beam closer to the fork and a 3 feet wide tube with two post going down at each end about 10 inch long, with that you would not have to worries too much of centering the magnet, just get them a bit before the center and the two post leg would hold it horizontal, just my 2 cents.. it may sound weird the way i wrote this, i am not very good in english..!
Yes I do. Luckily my shop is right across the street from the Water supply system for our area and their pumps are all 3 phase, so i was abel to get it for no cost. If I live anywhere else where I am it would have been a huge expense.
the side of the laser near the wall has a ton of hoses for water chiller, gas line, that are in the way, plus very easy to run over it, etc. You didnt like what i built?
@@turbocobra You did a nice job and it will work fine I just figured you would have a lot better control over it being at the plate versus 10 ft back looking thru a mast.
The pivoting connection between the magnets and the I beam looks like a real nuisance. Wouldn't a rigid connection work better - or at least, one that had limited travel?
possibly, but also would force you to more accurately place the sheets on the machine, with it not being rigid, I can lower it down until one part fo the plate is touching, adn from there I can line up the sheet straight, then lower it on down the rest of the way vs. having to drive the forklift perfectly straight on
@@turbocobra What I'd think about is, 2 "sliders" with each magnet hanging straight down underneath each one on a piece of chain that's about 8-12" long. The chain will give you some horizontal alignment cushion. And you can spread the sliders out to stabilize the plate-sheet. Just an idea....
Lol, well, I opened a bottle of water. I dont drink.. .but if you do drink, it would be a perfect ending. Finished up a needed project, got a fire going, time to kick back!

Nice build Gary! That is going to be a very valuable tool in your shop utilizing your forklift for the lifting. Great paint job too!!
Thanks Reid, yes sir, i think so
Good job Gary, looks like it worked well.👍
Thanks 👍
Why allow the metal to pivot when its picked up? Would a solid connection be better so that neither the front or back could pop up? Amazing workshop

Great job I like the blue
Nice work - how long did it take for the laser table to pay for itself? Thanks again

Oh I totally understand what your saying and yes that would work well for sure
Happy to see your vid, glad you r in Texas.
Thanks 👍
Do you have 3 phase power to you shop? Just noticed your in a rural type area.
Yes I do. Luckily my shop is right across the street from the Water supply system for our area and their pumps are all 3 phase, so i was abel to get it for no cost. If I live anywhere else where I am it would have been a huge expense.
I think it's going to work out as long as you don't get the forklift too close to your downspouts.
Touche!
Sorry that propane ran out on you like that but I had to laugh. Looking good Gary.
lol its always something!
Perfect timing.
Nice peaceful area to grab a breath of mother nature 🙏
Yes sir!
Why not just buy a longer I beam and swap it out on your gantry so it can straddle the table and pipe fixture?

What kind of paint are you using?

I thought for sure you were going to pop open a Corona there at the end.

Lol id be worried id paint my neighbors truck
lol
I was waiting for that looking at the white truck and the wind was blowing right at it.
Maybe I should send you the paint code for Eco Mouse Green to have on hand for your shop projects.
Lets have it! I want to paint my laser soon, tired of looking at it in the color that it is
