What do you guys think it would cost to have it powdercoated?

Rodger: how long is that thing again? 72"? IF you bring it to them already sandblasted and clean of oils/weld residue etc. it would probably be about 150~200 due to the weight of it & it needing pre-heating.

Yes it is a 72." $200 is barely even worth getting the paint gun dirty.

That sounds about right on the price, Fimco manufacturing will do some outside work here. They were charging $300 dollars to do a stockcar frame/cage asy.

Roger I dont know of any powder coaters in your area, we built about a hundred of the systems but dont remember any going into that area off hand. lot of them in Northern Ohio NY Mich, Ill and on the southern coast and midwest too. For some reason Virginia TN didnt get any closest I can remember was one in KY just a few miles south of Galopolice Ohio.

I have about 4 places within 50 mile radius of me I could take something to & get it done for cost or do a tune up on their system and get the work in trade.

That might be true, but it also underscores just how good of a deal these grapples are assembled from the manufacturer.

I don't know what the "kit" will cost, but after adding $200 for finishing an all of the setup and weldment time, they will have to be pretty cheap to make it truly worth it.

It possible we have 4 or 5 in Akron, & Canton & East of Canton a couple, we have a couple in Amish Country (Apple creek) and in greater Cleveland area (maybe yours?) some in Solon.

Company is/Was "Mark Engineering" changed name to "HAYNNCORP" in the later 90's or early 2000's. We also built a bunch of equipment for a couple 3rd parties that put their names on systems we built. WHK was one of them (Eclipse Dealer) out of Northern Ohio.
