FlipPac Handle Carnage

[Dave Bennett]

Anyone else had this happen? It was a good thing I had both hands on this when the welds gave up or it could have been ugly...

That was the carnage, I had both hands on it so it was controlled when it snapped the welds.

 

[windsock]

Pretty sorry excuse for a weld. There are probably plenty of people on here that can chime in a offer to weld it up for you. But if not, next time you find yourself in Upland, stop by I'll buzz it back together for you.

Can you open the FlipPac without the handle? Do you carry a spare?

I've always thought that the handle was a pretty cheesy piece of kit. It doesnt seem like it would be hard for FRP to make a quality one...........If they cared to.

That's no bueno! Looks like poor weld pentration to me. Pack it up Dave and give me a dimension and weight and we'll e-mail you a shipping label so that we can weld it up for you.

Yeah, thats not good at all. Glad it didn't do any damage to the truck or yourself when it let go man.
