Starting to get some things going again with the launch pads. I won't be up to past production levels for a while yet, but I'll be throwing a pad ro two together from time to time.

That said, I was recently asked if I could build a big, heavy pad for larger projects. I spent the weekend fabricating and came up with this...

bfp2.jpgbfp1.jpgbfp5.jpgbfp3.jpgbfp4.jpg

The base is a steel version of John Cokers "rail" pad, with the Concept style mast assembly. The legs are 4 feet long and are made of 2" square 14 gauge tubing. The mast assembly is 1.5" square 14 gauge tubing, and the blast deflector is 1/8" plate and is welded on. This pad is designed for rails only and comes with hardware to mount 80/20 1010 or 1515 rail or unistrut. There are stake down tabs at the ends of the legs. Total assembled weight of the pad is about 50 lbs. and since most of the weight is low (on the ground) it is extremely stable. I threw a quick coat of black paint on it for the pictures.

This pad is available for purchase for $395 plus S&H. Contact me directly at [email protected] to purchase and shipping costs.

Thanks!

Test the heavy pad and it worked very well. It tipped with a 16 foot rail, but we used a jaw stand as an extra support and that worked very well.
