Title: good top loader?
Post by: racnruss on February 05, 2016, 06:44:41 PM

anyone know of a good quality top loader being built?   

This would be for commercial application at welding shop. 

The only two I could find were Shaver (no way) and Hoss (not much info found). Any others?

Another small business destroyed by federal regulations.  Keep up the good work EPA!  Drive those business owners onto the welfare rolls where they can be more easily controlled!

Sorry, I don't usually rant, but I remember thinking Ridgewood would have to close when the stupid emissions standards were passed, and there they go.  They had a good product and a good reputation.

I would look at "the log boiler" made in Michigan he has some videos on YouTube his controls for fan speed are programmed to change with exhaust gas temp. Looks to be very well built.
