[fullbore1]

Rivets or zip screws?

Galvanized or
hot rolled (possibly ceramic coated)

It picks it up on the rear bumper. I designed, and have been building them for going on 4 years now. KartRaiser video link

Hello Michael Polizzi
Man that is one slick lift you make there. If I could make something like that to lift a Honda Goldwing I could retire. Theirs a lot of weight difference tho 900# for the bike and what 150# for the cart.
Any way GREAT LIFT

Thanks. Yes, the heaviest kart we lift is about 375 lbs.

Back to the original topic.

OK, so where did I get the idea this project was going to take a couple of days

Almost ready to get some pictures up here.

I did insulate the floor, installed double doors at both ends, install a blower fan, installed a small viewing window, set up for an overhead trolley system to get stuff in one end and out the other. The unit will be able to be cut in half for smaller jobs. full size is 4'W x 6'H x 6'L or 3'L.

I am currently finishing the wiring and installing the lights...boy was this more work than expected

A cautionary statement to newbies like me.

ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK YOUR PID SETTINGS BEFORE FIRST RUN!

So I think all is well and I set the temp to 400 deg and off it goes...
20min->150 deg. Hmm slow.
40min->225 deg. Hmmm
60min->300 deg now 20-30 sec per degree change.
80min->350 deg.

Panic mode sets in
Did I calculate the wattage wrong? not enough insulation, did I get the right elements.....

OK maybe I need to stop, let it cool and do an auto tune?

Open doors....Hmmm steel should not turn that color at 350 degrees.Hmmm

uh O, tell me i didn't....Yep

Folks ALWAYS CHECK SETTING TO SEE IF IT'S "F" or "C"

WELL, I guess I can do ceramic coating in this thing!

OK here are some pictures of it so far. I need to finish the overhead trolley system and I'll post them later.
