C15/C18 Long Block Stand
The long block configuration refers to the engine block mounted with the heads, camshaft, crankshaft, and pistons. Previously, these blocks were wrapped and strapped to plastic pallets, with a piece of chipboard between them. Besides the wooden board being a potential source of contamination, the plastic pallets cracked over time due to fatigue from the strapping.
Working with the engine techs, material handlers, machinists, and welders, a bracket was designed to mount to the front and rear faces of the engine block, allowing the block to rest on a high-density polyethene board and mount firmly to the stand.
This stand is made for use within the facility, it was further stamped by a P. Eng. approximately 50 of these have been produced for the facility. They are faster to load than plastic pallets, more robust, and easier to handle with a forklift.

This project was dropped on a Thursday at 3:30 pm by the manager who anticipated shipping it the following Tuesday.
Following some measurements and some preliminary CAD, material quotes were requested on a rush order the same day. Material purchases were approved on Friday, with the material expected to arrive on Tuesday. The manager was appropriately informed, and all other work that could be done before receiving the material was performed under supervision on Monday. The stand was completed on Wednesday, and the engine was loaded and shipped not long after.
The engine would be shipped to Toromont's Point Claire location and a second stand would be constructed for internal use.
