The Bigger They Are The Easier They Are

Had some time on my hands rained here all day and just thought I would show you some of the units we scraped, This job was at the Sawgrass Mills Mall, In Sunrise Florida. The job was broken into two Saturdays we had a total of Twelve 25 ton units, we loaded two trailers with three of these units on each trailer, each Saturday, by Tuesday we were done with the first six and the second week we were done after lunch on Tuesday, the thing that took the most time was the draining of the Freon. It was a nice job hopping for more like this.

Did those have 4 or 6 compressors? Luckily I only get them one at a time. Some day I will have bigger trailers!

Joe they had four in each, I don't own those trailers Joe I use a heavy equipment movers. They have a wet line and they raise like a dump truck we just pull them of with a fork lift and line the up in my yard. Works good customers love the attention and service.

I'm jealous!!!!

I've seen them done with helicopters too, either way big jobs + bigger payday!

Did you get 3 to a trailer with the make-up air pods left on them?

We place them back to back we take off the last hood there was a little hang over that's another reason I use these trucking guys they have all the extra wide & extra long road permits. We did load the hoods in the back of one of our trucks.

Very nice indeed!!

I have seen this aswell. It was very cool to see.

Awesome!
how long does it take you to strip them out?

We did three on Monday and three on Tuesday, after draining them on Saturday and Sunday, for the freon we use large 450 captivity recovery tanks that allow us to keep going instead of changing tanks. A little tip I will share with you is I put a bag of ice on the bottom of the recovery tank it speeds up the process.

The helicopters are used when there is no room to set up a crane and park a flatbed next to it, there was one job that I did many years ago in Midtown Manhattan when I was based in New York, I did not pay for the helicopter thank god, it had to move the chiller a few blocks where we set up our staging area.

First time I saw helicopters used was at LAX, the airport didn't like the idea of cranes and planes. Helicopters and planes work together just fine.
