Re: [MBZ] Okie shop
Another neat trick is a movable chain fall. Not really necessary if you're just rolling scrap cars in, lifting the engines, and rolling them back out, but the bee's knees for remove and reinstall. I've seen two ways of doing that. One guy put an upright pole in wheel bearings, with an arm jutting out. He swings it over the engine bay, lifts the engine, and swings the engine out of the way. The better setup has a 6" I-beam attached to several trusses, and a chain fall on a trolley, using the beam for a track.

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop
Good point. A friend probably paid about as much for his 4' racks as I paid for my MBZ collection. OTOH, in the past he's forklifted RX-7s onto those racks, but not the ones along the walls. Actually, I'm not sure if any of his racks are on the walls, or if he can walk around all of them to pile parts on the back side. But I'm pretty sure his warehouse is bigger than Kleb's, it's maybe 80' wide and over 100' deep. Mitch.

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop
It looks like most of what is pictured is 48" deep uprights. I choose to go for 32 inch deep rack because 4' deep shelves are too deep to easily get access to whatever is pushed to the back. Plus, I didn't want to give up 4 ft of the perimeter of the building. Also, narrower racks are not as popular with warehouses which usually use both sides in long pallet rack runs, so it's cheaper.. Keep looking, the right deal will come. With the present economy, there are a lot of stores closing, so should be a bunch of "slightly used" pallet rack on the market in near future. You decide what will best work for you.
