    50 ton capacity unit, the majority of it looks like ductwork, 8 tons on the weight

    should've put the heavy end close to the crane

    I was talking from my rigging background. I assumed it was going up, not coming down.

    I under stand the trailer has a tilt it goes up and the trailer pulls out and hopefully leaves the unit, the weight from the compressors helps being in the back as i am sure you know being a rigger

    Oh my.....that......... that's a lot of copper. Now I have to scroll back at the picture, slowly take off my indoor sunglasses, and dream about these marvelous pieces of technology and the goodies they behold.

    Looks to be about a 100 ton unit. On big units like that I usually figure about 90 pounds of clean radiator and 3 pounds of copper per ton. Would be interested to see the final numbers for my file. Thanks for the pics!

    Thanks for the info! I just realised that I put 90 instead of 9 pounds of radiators per ton. Time to get new proof reading glasses.

    Were the compressors the orange recip ones?
