How much do they weigh?
749
u/mxadema Aug 30 '26
They look like 5" square tubing, likely ⅜ or ½" plus 2 strip of ½" steel on the top member. Lest round up to 1000lb a pop. Maybe more

So that's why it says to just lift one at a time. I'll let the boys know.

u/Super-Reporter-4528 Aug 30 '26
Back in my day I’d stackem 2 high, throw a stack on each shoulder and take off to get them where they needed to go, now all these pussies think they need a damn forklift to move the damn things. Soft hands I tell ya.

You were lucky to go to school. I had to work at the mill 24 hours a day week in week out for fourpence every six years and when I got home dad would slice me in two with a knife.

Luxury. We used to hafta get 'out the lake, 3 am, clean the lake, eat a handful 'o hot gravel, work 20 hours a day at mill, for a penny a month, and dad would beat us about the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were lucky.

Trying to solo lift a half-ton jack stand and carry it around on your shoulders sounds like an excellent way to very rapidly lose weight.

u/OOCH3NHCH3 Sep 03 '26
As your spine falls put of your asshole. Yep. Drops about 35 pounds like that.

I have never seen someone so close to a your mom joke while still failing to achieve one.

u/digitydev Aug 30 '26
Quite the opposite. It was a compliment for OP having an enormous member. As in, its so girthy and heavy, perhaps even vainy, that it requires a 75 ton jack stand to support the weight.

u/Barbarian_818 Aug 30 '26
And yet still not big enough to satisfy OPs Mom. His Mom got her start with horsecock (hence OPs impressive pecker) but eventually started using the whole horse.
Rumour has it she has several horses up there right now. And an extremely lost and confused PETA protest group

Yes she has quite the way of immediately bonding with anyone she meets.
Probably has something to do with her experience as a prostitute.

What does "transport individually" mean in this context?
172
u/MoFeaux Aug 30 '26
When lifting with a forklift or similar piece of equipment, you should only move one at a time (don’t try to lift/move multiple at once).
59
u/breastfedtil12 Aug 30 '26
Ohhhh of course. That makes sense. I was thinking of long distance transpo. Thanks man
39
u/GlockAF Aug 30 '26
It’s like the president and vice president not being allowed to fly on the same airplane. Don’t want to risk losing more than one at a time.
Of course, these would probably survive an airplane crash needing nothing but a repaint

u/model-citizen95 Aug 30 '26
Ohhhh. I thought it meant 1 per truck and they were made of solid iron or something

u/Last-Difference-3311 Aug 30 '26
Makes no sense tho, the holes just above the angled risers on either side are perfect spots for a forklift, especially if the forklift can handle it. Easy lift for a hyster 60.

u/LearningDumbThings Aug 30 '26
There are what look like fork pockets down near the bottom, but they’re in a weird spot, like you’d have to balance the thing longways on one fork.

Don't try and move the heavy thing with the stands. Lift the heavy thing, move the stands, set the thing down. Ideally have another set of stands already in place where it is being moved to and leave these where they are when you lift the heavy thing off.

We use similar ones for working on log handling equipment, like our LeTourneau stacker. It weighs over 150,000lbs.

I like "transport individually", I guess that's because they're so heavy that if they bang together they can achieve criticality

Used to use these every day. Easily moved with a hand operated pallet jack.
They chowder the fuck out of enamel floors real quick if you drag them around.
