We also added spring to keep the tool in its primed position but this is optional as the tool will still work without it. Using lock nuts would be ideal to stop the bolts from loosening with repeated use of the tool. This offset adds to the output force of the tool when pushing down the handle. Welded on to form a tangent with the opposite side of the pipe with regards to the flat bars. The handle is fitted to be parallel with the flat bars welded onto the cross brace. ![]() The round bar will be used for the handle and thanks to the curved edge of the cross member a shorter than normal lever is required. The last step would be to fit the handle. (Keeping in mind that the hole should be measured from opposite sides for the two footplates will be mirrored versions of each other when fitted) The purpose of the angled component is to allow the entire length of the foot plates to sit flush with the plank when the tool is in its primed position (before lifting).Īt this point, the foot plates can be cut to length from the angle irons and the pivot holes drilled as per the diagram. With the flat bars welded on the right angle can be added.Ĭut the flat bars to the required length and after weld on the angled component with the pivot holes to which the foot plates will be mounted already drilled. The spacing between the two flat bars should be roughly 100mm (4″). This should be done in a manner so that the outer edge of the flat bar forms a tangent with the pipe (cross member). Use the pipe that would become the cross member to mark the flat bar.Īfter cutting away these areas the flat bar can be welded to the pipe. Start assemblyĪfter cutting the pipe to size ( 150mm) the flat bars can be welded to it. ![]() We used our very limited steel supply (Mostly offcuts and scrap) to source the steel components that would ultimately become our pallet breaker. This consisted of a piece of round bar, pipe, angle iron and flat bar (Dimensions above).Īfter a quick run over with a grinder using a flap disk to remove most of the rust from the old steel, it was ready to be sized and welded together.
