[TheForge] Power hammer questions

Sun Mar 23 18:12:00 2003

        I was just talking to someone about possibly moving a Nazel 3B that
the hammer weighs 300 lbs, the anvil 3,000, and the machine itself is about
7,000.  The ram to anvil seems to follow the ten times rule that I've always
heard should be kept.
        Heavy is what I say to those numbers when my boom truck would lift
the anvil, but not the rest of the machine, unless I start breaking it apart
to move it.
