  1. My new sign installation lift...

    Yeah, it's perfect for that kind of stuff.
  2. My new sign installation lift...

    Yeah, having to trailer it irks me. I was really hoping it would fit in the van. Oh well... I'll keep the 1930 in mind for the future though, thanks Keith.
  3. My new sign installation lift...

    I don't really need much reach. I install non-illuminated signs and this will probably reach 90-something percent of what I install. Ladders are great for some jobs, but going up and down a ladder 20, 30, 40 times to hang a pattern, retrieve letters, etc. gets a bit old. Yeah, this definitely...
  4. My new sign installation lift...

    It goes up and down, drives and turns both when lowered and raised, 5mph when lowered, slower when raised. It's intended use is for flat, indoor surfaces. There are times a ladder is better than any lift. There are times a lift is better than any ladder. I find myself in both situations pretty...
  5. My new sign installation lift...

    Unfortunately, it's a few inches too high for the van.. It will need to be trailered. Do you seriously think Crown didn't think of the safety end of things? :rolleyes: The thing weighs 1, 400 pounds - it's not going to tip over.
  6. My new sign installation lift...

    Not perfect for every install, but there are some this will be perfect for. Working height (what you can reach) is about 17'. Fits through a 30" door.
  7. Installing 4 x 8 outdoor sign

    Masonry screws with washers, paint to match. A few dabs of Lexel.
  8. My new Sign Installation Command Center (aka SICC) vehicle...haha...

    Decided to just go with some magnets for the side since there's time's I want to identify who I am and other times I don't. Quick little diddy thanks to Phillip...
  9. 5 Years In Business Thanks Signs 101!

    Congrats...creeping up on that milestone myself.
  10. My new Sign Installation Command Center (aka SICC) vehicle...haha...

    Thanks! The boxes behind the drivers seat are DeWalt Tstaks. Boxes over drivers side wheel well are DeWalt Tough Boxes. DeWalt Tough cart is over the other wheel well. Roof-mounted ladder rack is a Weatherguard, purchased off Amazon. The parts organizers on the rear doors are off Amazon...
  11. Anyone use Mactac (or another brand) frosted vinyl with air release?

    I would use Oracal 8510. Lays down beautifully. Texted you.
  12. My new Sign Installation Command Center (aka SICC) vehicle...haha...

    Thanks! The next install you send my way, I'll swing by and you can check it out. :wink:
  13. My new Sign Installation Command Center (aka SICC) vehicle...haha...

    No, primarily because I install for other sign companies. I don't really want calls from non-industry people.
  14. Tapes or adhesives

    VHB & Lexel
  15. My new Sign Installation Command Center (aka SICC) vehicle...haha...

    Can't help but sing the praises of this van. The max payload capacity is advertised as 2,502 pounds. Picked up forty-five sheets of ½" drywall at 51 pounds per sheet equals 2,295 pounds. About 75 pounds of insulation and 75 pounds of tools and a 50 pound ladder brings it to 2,495 pounds. The...
  16. anchors for standoffs

    I guess I'm a little confused... I would assume you're pre-drilling the acrylic where the standoffs are going. If so, you're not always going to hit a metal stud. In that case pretty much any standard wall anchor will work, but I like the TripleGrip anchors from Home Depot. Typically the...
  17. Lettering on a 37 ft concrete wall

    I'm with you on the Ryobi stuff and the 12v stuff. Pretty much all I use anymore is my 12v Milwaukee impact and drill. I have a slew of 18v Ryobi tools...generally stuff that wasn't/isn't offered by other manufacturers or is just more affordable: cordless miter saw, cordless floodlight...
  18. Lettering on a 37 ft concrete wall

    Neither sandblasting or drilling holes is going to weaken the concrete enough to be of any concern. Sandblasting and drilling in concrete is done all the time...it's not like it's just going to fall apart. :rolleyes:
  19. Lettering on a 37 ft concrete wall

    Without knowing what, if any, tools he has, I still wouldn't touch this with a hammer drill - even if he already HAS a hammer drill. Got a generator, but no rotary hammer? Want to keep it as cheap as possible? Go get a rotary hammer from Harbor Freight. They're right around $100 and get...
  20. Lettering on a 37 ft concrete wall

    42 letters, 4 studs per letter, 168 holes....why triple/quadruple your times by using a hammer drill?
