Pit Furnace Details

Pit Tempering Furnace

This is one of two identical furnaces that were supplied for tempering front and rear axles for Land Roverand were installed in the same pit that we constructed in the eighties along with a Gas-Carburiser that we also supplied.

Like the carburising furnace, the lid is lifted by a davit arm that runs up the back of the furnace; this is lifted with a hydraulic cylinder.

The lid shuts onto a fibre rope seal
