The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

I was disturbed today in the workshop by an awesome growl,as i check to see what it was,this little baby was pulling into the yard,you may have seen her in 1/50 guise only recently  she was in lifting some pre cut sections of mass concrete,four lifts in total,the first of which was 12 tons first section of wall i missed being lifted,this was the heaviest at 12tons,would make a nice ready made drive   2nd piece chained up,I also missed this lift,through having to do some work myself!!! this country!!!     still chained up waiting for the flat bed   6 tons,not needed  set up for the 3rd lift,a chunk maybe 6ft x 4ft x 1ft   these 3 were taken zoomed in on my phone so they quality has suffered    and back to zoom out mode   and a blue bonus

they moved in maybe a month ago,amazing looking place,shame it won't see much use now for a long time,it was a muddy hole when the recession hit,so they would have had to go ahead with it,but a super clean looking place, and a double shame from my point of view too as the old place was literally visable from my bedroom window  now i'll have to drive 10 mins!!!!!! this country!!!

Is the Chris Bennett model out yet. haven't a clue about the Bennett rig,budget nowadays only allows Irish or blue the beam was just a spur off the moment,I seen four pieces of channel shaped cladding in work about 500mm long so i nabbed 'em quick!! glued in some re-bar lifting eyes,thickened the walls with some 6mm wood strips and then isoponed the lot,they're not perfect but a nice cheap load and ideal now for a dual blue lift,i think they'd weigh in around the 120 ton mark

If you mean the Chris Bennett Volvo with 2+4 Nooteboom, then yes it is out and has been for quite some time now. Here is a link to some photos I took (just scroll down a bit) and you can still buy them from here. They are not listed on his website but he is still selling them on the well known auction website Paul R

ok enough of the real world lifts,lets see a 1/50 lift,I left the computer room for an hour and when i got back,this greeted me!! Terex guy feel all accomplished after mastering the reeving of a ycc hook block,you will deserve a pint tonight for that young man  120ton prestressed concrete beam all hooked up  view back from the 800hp OAF  into the boom lift for this one  Mr.T over-seeing the lift  not sure of the technical term for these but that didn't stop we whittling them up earlier  steel ropes and YCC block(super fun to reeve)
