I dont think that's anything to do with "Union". Under European HSE laws you wouldn't be able to get too people to lift the thing even if they could, unless you had done a "Lifting Assessment" and both people had been on a Lifting Course. There is a limit to what one person is allowed to lift, too. I recall one of my metallurgical samples weighed 160kg, which meant that it needed 8 people to lift it. But it was too small to fit 8 people around it... -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
