[TheForge] hydraulic power hammer

[Ries Niemi]

I just looked up the Hebo HSH3000 hydraulic power hammer in my Hebo 
price list, which is a year or so old.
83,700 euros.
Thats quite a bit of change.
On the other hand, how many 10 dollar pickets do you have to sell to 
pay for it-  only about 10,000 of em.
As far as I know there are none in the US.
There are only about 25 or so Hebo machines of any sort. A full Hebo 
setup, with scrolling twisting, and hydraulic picket bending, could 
cost $40,000 to $60,000, depending on size and capabilities. On the 
other hand, I know a lot of not very good cut and paste welding 
fabricators who spend that much on one pickup truck. A big one ton 
dually with 4 doors, power everything, like most contractors drive, and 
you have the cost of a hebo.
Two of em, and you got a hyrdraulic power hammer.
