[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 510804, member: 7956"] I have a lot of respect for you HTY, however I'm not too sure this is a wise idea. Stamper batteries are normally mounted on a BIG SOLID concrete pad. Often this is the only thing left in the bush from previous mining operations a century or two ago. The forces of inertia created by the stampers have devastating effects on the rock AND anything supporting those batteries. All of the forces in play would wreak havoc on the trailer and with the suspension and pneumatic tyres the stamping effect would be dampened. Those forces would be opposing one another. A very solid trailer could be made, and have hydraulic feet like crane trucks have but to make it solid enough would more than likely put the cost through the roof. Very good to see enthusiasm though. [/QUOTE]
