ERC Trucking & Construction
 

Ive been contemplating this for a long time and I finally was able to get a garage to store my show car and bike so I gave myself some extra room in the garage right next to the work shop to set up my very own Multi Tier Work site.... Something to showcase my work and all my accessories. Here is some progress pics...

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

Might have to bring some equipment to get worked on!! Keep up the pics, I've been thinking similar in my garage as I have so much space above and not much floor. Might be getting some ideas.

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

thank you

Thanks Cooper, Im well known for taking NO space and making MORE space lol, take all the ideas you need and your more than welcome to come down and put in work with all your toys once its done.... at the rate im going its looking like one more week a few hours a day and ill be good to go...

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

After talking to Keith back and forth The Idea to take "dead space" up top was turned into yet another tier that will be bridged across to another bigger tier to utilize ALL the space I have before starting to *** all the details and finer work and accessories..

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

i feel a trip to jersey soon

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

Love the Idea :jaw: I'm jealous lol

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

its ready enough to run on it already, got any construction machines or dumps?

Thanks man

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

Wow, that looks great. Is that a flume you installed to take the rubber material from the top tier back to the bottom for reloading? How do the trucks handle the grade with a load on them. You are really making me want a 3D printer. The only limit you have is your imagination.

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

I got the dump trailer im working on

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

as they have a gear reduction in them they work flawlessly, I can go up and down at the pace of a baby turtle with and without weight and no issues at all, as for the 3d printer, as long as you have the right equipment TONS of patience and the know how, the limits are your imagination and build plate size

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

and yes to answer your question it is a flume to transfer the rubber to what will be a trammel below to sort out the thin from the thick and give the front loaders below something to do:D

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

Talk about going to town!!! You built one!! Your thread gave me an idea to build an incline from garage into house, have three steps. That way I can harass all the occupants inside once weather turns bad outside!! You really are building some cool stuff!!

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

It's been mentioned to me several times to use a remote camera to see outside, but I didn't think the 3D view from a video screen would be much good... it certainly shows up well in your pics. Well done on your corner lot. What cubed area is your site now?

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

sounds like there will be a lot of annoyed ppl in your house lol, thanks man

yea it def isnt the greatest quality in the wold but works perfect to give the driver an idea of where their vehicle is which is perfect for what I need but your right, I couldn't see myself playing through a camera system just isnt the same. and as of now the layout is sitting on a 12'x5' space of land and ill expand with an outdoor version for spring and summer time so I ca have a 3rd space for the trucks to travel between. and thanks bro for comments

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

Wanted to add to the layout, so I decided it needed some work people to fill in the void, so I deigned some shop foreman's and other figures...

meet Hank (in the red) (named by Keith lmao)

Looks like you guys are having too much fun! Great use of space Brian!

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

Thanks Reg, Yea it def was even though its still missing alot of things and machinery still has to be fine tuned.... only thing missing now is one of your dump boxes for my custom CAT dump.... ;)

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

Great looking guys Brian did you print them ? Mike

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
 

Brian you know that the corner will never be big enough, it will end up the hole basement will get involved...

Re: ERC Trucking & Construction
