Where to go for RSJ's?

Or alternatively any one recommend a 101 friendly hydraulic hoist for the through the door and enough lift idea.

Try any decent builder's merchants, also Wickes offer a wide range of RSJ's, straight off the shelf too (at least in Peterborough)

Also try a reclaimers yard, they may have some old lengths of railway track.....

Try steel merchants Parker steel, or try around local industrial units and ask about, I would have thought that some where like Wicks would charge an arm and two legs for one !!!!!

Since they're used in building work, it's worth asking at a local builder's merchants, preferably not one of the big national companies. Similarly, blacksniths/light-engineering. The latter may well be able to tell you what size you will need to meed safety regulations.

Try the reclamaition yard next to Focus on the Leek Road at Cobridge or Les Oak's place in Cheadle.

Where abouts are you Lee. There's a few places in brum that i know of one. My work has a fair bit of stuff around at the mo ;)

Jinx

Up around Stoke on Stench :o)

Good thinking.... now why didn't I think of them. doh! Always associate these places with wood but when ever I go theres more bricks and metal than anything else.

In fact the thought of a trip out to Les Oakes is quite exciting , and likely to lead to another 5 projects with all the stuff I never knew existed but can't live without once discovered. :-)

if near to reading go to GOODMAN STEEL SERVICES .

andover or cambridge try PARKER STEELS .

There's a Sherman Tank there at the moment........

In need of some TLC.
