Lowering the magnet into place

Jump To:

Start the day off with a forklift

Jacks lift up the magnet

Cryostat is wiggled out of the way and metal plates are laid down

The forklift lays down some more plates

This sounds like a job for heavy machinery

Securing the bridge into the hall

The monster lifter rolls forward

That is one giant lifting arm

Preparing to secure the cryostat

Bolts in place

And up we go

Gliding the cryostat aloing as if it weighs nothing

And now to lower it

Ever ...

... so ...

... slowly

Just a few inches to go

A perfect example of fitting a circle through a square hole
