What make of board lifter do you use again Tony? Having used the cheap one we bought I really like the system and would now be happy to purchase a better/smoother one.

What does Elf n Safety say?

Officially they're a two man lift as over 25kg.

30.52kg per 12.5mm 2.4x1.2 board but I've only ever seen them being fixed by a single tacker never by a pair, except when I'm doing them.

 

[phoenix]

i hate using those and i hate it even more watching the tacker at work carry 3 of them at once i swear he is part man part machine they should be only 6x3 and considering elf and safety wont let you scratch your arse without giving you a formal warning im suprised these are allowed to stay

3m 15mm duraline are a lot of fun. They are fukin heavy bastads

 

[lucius]

My boy does them on his own but he has now hit 32 and complaining of aches an pains, this a s**t job realy.

 

[spunky]

What colours duraline jet man?

 

[pftmonojetman]

They used to be mustard colour but there just the same colour as normal boards now

A pallet of sound block weighs 2500kg, says it all and it dont come with a pack of steroids.
