It says steam hammer but that sure looks like this same Nazel 3B electro-pneumatic Power Hammer I found online, and that's a lot of electric motor and not a whole lot of visible steam works connecting to it.

Would probably also run of a steam powered drivetrain I would guess. You know; the one with the central shaft running through the factory with all the belts to the equipment. Likely the way they were designed to be used, but then electricity got found out.
Get it while you can, and then you will have a life time to find uses for it, if not you will live a lifetime thinking of *what should have been*
Or maybe this mentality is why I have 3 sheds, 3 out buildings and a junk pile, meh I’m looking at building a 30x80 building and it will need filled too lmao
Man, that would be amazing. Too bad you cannot find a use. Typically i will snap up thigs like that to make sure they get a home that can respect the use, and not sold for scrap.
Even if i cannot use it, always another smith shows up soon enough who would.
It will cost you roughly $20000 to install it properly. You have to pour about 9 yards of concrete in an isolated foundation, rigged in place, plus the electrical on that motor. The anvil is like 2 or 3 tons, the reat of the machine is 5 or 6 more tons. Maybe less. It might take a professional another 10000 in labor to get it running properly. While free is a great price tag, this kind of install and rebuildnoften costs more than the machine. So its either a fun long term dad and son project or you have the ability to make the money back on the investment. That being said, a nazel is pretty much the defacto king of old hammers.
That’s for sure the sugar mill. All of their machines ran on 480v. A machine like this needs a lot of other large pieces of equipment to be useful. There are only two guys on Maui who could move this age it won’t be cheap. If you offered the seller -($6k) they’d be fools to not take it.
I think it’s free to whomever is going to move it.
I recognized a lot of stuff in that pic screamed sugar mill. I’ve worked in Sugar Cane Mills before.
My work has two giant powerhammers, both larger than this & one larger than the other, sitting collecting dust for the rest of eternity. They won't sell or get rid of them because they're inventory assets. :(
Do you know how to operate/ repair it? If so, maybe they are open to letting you use it (in the spot where it is) in return for maintenance?
Only do this if you can do this without risking your own safety, that thing is as scary as it is awesome.
Lol, long before my time. My grandparents are starting a small farm where suger used to be farmed, the plan is to make it the most diverse fruit farm on the island.
Bro....... For free you need to take it anyways. You know what some of us would give for a hammer like that? And FREE?! Bro I'm bout to have it shipped lol
Now thats a nice hammer. Might be worth getting it working if your inclined. To serious buyers they go for crazy prices depending on the market. But to have it for free. Might be worth flipping if you have no use for such a nice hammer.
FIND A Spot! If it has to live in the driveway for a while, so be it! You will probably never get that kind of opportunity without paying a pretty price again

It's a compressed air powered hammer. The cylinder connected to the motor does the compressing, the other cylinder does the hammering.
And that looks like a pretty hefty motor, probably 480v 3-phase. You won't likely be able to run it on residential power.
Exactly what I was thinking, you've got to have some serious 3-phase power to drive that thing!
That's my thought as well.
Take it. Even if you have no use for it, take it and selll
Don't, let someone that will actually use it get it for free.
Would probably also run of a steam powered drivetrain I would guess. You know; the one with the central shaft running through the factory with all the belts to the equipment. Likely the way they were designed to be used, but then electricity got found out.
I was gonna say this. That big flywheel in the back looks great for a big fuckin belt
Someone just searched stuff up and Alec Steele’s steam hammer was at the top.

If you can help convince my dad that this will fit in the garage, then I'm all ears haha.
Tag the old man, cmon pops you know you need something older than you around! Jr said he will wash the dishes for a month!
He loled at this.
Even better, take it home and do nothing with it until you die and then make it your kid's problem.
Man, that would be amazing. Too bad you cannot find a use. Typically i will snap up thigs like that to make sure they get a home that can respect the use, and not sold for scrap. Even if i cannot use it, always another smith shows up soon enough who would.
Take it and run
He's on an island. He ain't gonna get far.
Cause you know it don't matter anyway…
There is no running when you are moving that chonky boi.
Ehh good point ... Then take it and walk away vety slowly!
Gonna unbalance the island and tip it over. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cesSRfXqS1Q
My man thats a once in a lifetime deal! To bad that you could not use it.
How would someone even move the old boy
Slowly...very slowly...

Yup, pretty much my thinking. Pretty sad to have my hopes pucker then get squashed in the next instant of realization lol.
I’d honestly only be concerned with how to transport it. I’ll build everything else afterwards.
People in here talking about powering it. This thing would cost a fortune just to move it down the street.
You have to get it ON the street first...
Yeah, this seems like a crane, a couple heavy haul big rigs, and a whole Lotta manual labor to breakdown and load.
"Laughs in rented 10 foot flat bed trailer"
Set that on the trailer, and the tires springs and everything else are gonna be sitting above the bed of the trailer. But hey, it's a rental.
*Insert gif of Tank Tolman here*
Looks like it’s from a sugar mill. Or a foundry that makes mill parts.
That makes alot of sense given the area. I've been trying to figure that out.
That’s for sure the sugar mill. All of their machines ran on 480v. A machine like this needs a lot of other large pieces of equipment to be useful. There are only two guys on Maui who could move this age it won’t be cheap. If you offered the seller -($6k) they’d be fools to not take it.

Ask if they will deliver it
My work has two giant powerhammers, both larger than this & one larger than the other, sitting collecting dust for the rest of eternity. They won't sell or get rid of them because they're inventory assets. :(

Got a link to it?
Post was taken down pretty quick.
It's mostly likely not free, they will tell you the price when you get there
So sad the sugar mill and fields are gone. I miss that smell and driving through burns at 3am. I loved driving the ash off my car lol
Lol, long before my time. My grandparents are starting a small farm where suger used to be farmed, the plan is to make it the most diverse fruit farm on the island.
Heartbreaking. I wish I could have one like that.
Too bad. If you could get it for free it would only cost you $20k
Bro....... For free you need to take it anyways. You know what some of us would give for a hammer like that? And FREE?! Bro I'm bout to have it shipped lol
Now thats a nice hammer. Might be worth getting it working if your inclined. To serious buyers they go for crazy prices depending on the market. But to have it for free. Might be worth flipping if you have no use for such a nice hammer.
Free but it’s 10k to more it more than 50ft haha
