This afternoon, we needed to replace the threaded rod that are currently employed on our mobile scaffolding tower to allow for adjustment for each wheels to balance and stabilised the tower. The problem we had was the original 20mm diameter rod was bending under the dynamic loading while trying to move the tower in semi hard sandy dirt, with the wheels digging in too much.

So the new 30mm diameter high tensile steel threaded rod arrived yesterday and we proceeded to prepare all the parts including grinding the old 20mm rod off the foot plates, cut off the old nuts off the steel fat tube and then drill a new hole into the foot plates, cut up the 30mm rod into 200mm long pieces and get everything ready for welding.

The welding will be done first thing in the morning and we can put back the wheels onto our tower and continue with the task of cutting the slot into the Fascia boards.
