    A safety margin of two tons for a scissor jack designed to jack up only one corner of domestic cars weighing about two tons in total is an excellent safety margin.

      That's true, but all jacks had generous safety margins despite all seems to be cheap models from China. It's good to know even the cheap ones won't break if you don't exceed the maximum capacity.

      Scissor jacks are the most sensitive to not being on a smooth, level surface though, a bit of an angle massively reduces it's stability and strength which isn't really ideal when stuck on the side of the road.

    But one thing to take in consideration: these failures happened with the jacks correctly placed. If they were sitting in an uneven surface or angled while loading the car's weight, they could bent more easily or just tip over. So be careful while positioning them

  • @DoctorLodi
    @DoctorLodi 5 років тому +226

    For non-building applications I think a margin of safety of 2 is pretty standard (buildings are usually higher), so I wouldn’t call the jacks particularly unsafe on that front. The floor jack is probably actually the safest of the hydraulics because it’s less likely to kick out.
    That said, it’s ALWAYS dangerous to go under a car supported only by a jack. You should always block the wheels and use jack stands!

    • @MinimalistMotoLife
      @MinimalistMotoLife 5 років тому +4

      Yup it's all about using some common sense, bottle jacks and Hi-lifts catch a lot of flack for being "unsafe" but they are only as unsafe as the operator.
      Personally I enjoy jacks that can tip over, very handy in self recovery.

    It's not so much the weight capacity of the jacks that concerns me. It's their horizontal stability. Bottle jacks have really small bases, so they can just tip over super easily. Hydraulic floor jacks have casters that let them roll forward as the vehicle lifts, so the jack can shift its position without tipping over.

    Cool video! Keep in mind that the pressure the press created directly on to the jacks is not the same pressure your car will create. If your car weighs 2 tons and you are using a 2 ton jack, the jack is not lifting 2 tons, it's lifting a percentage of the 2 tons as you aren't lifting the entire car (all 4 wheels) off the ground all at once with the one jack.

  • @DaveC2729
    @DaveC2729 4 роки тому +1

    My theory: the safety valve in a bottle jack kicks in when you pump it, so if the vehicle is too heavy, you can't lift it in the first place. After it's lifted, in case something happens to increase the weight, the relief valve is no longer active; that jack will hold it up until the metal fails because there's no point in lowering a truck on your head to prevent it from being dropped.

Thats over 5 tons. Even the basic 1151 comes in at almost 4 tons. You ever driven an up armor HMMWV? It’s a lead sled. Even with a turbo it feels like you’re trying to pull a battleship out of the lake on s trailer. Throw in a TC, two dismounts, a gunner, a 30-80lb gun, gun turret (another half-3/4 ton, plus 800-1200 rounds of 7.62 or .50 BMG and you’re up over your gross maximum vehicle weight. Great truck though. As long as they don’t try to blow you up from directly underneath, in which case all that armor was kinda for nothin.

    I think there might be a big difference with dynamic and static force those things can hold. I mean I think they can take a lot more force which comes down to them which they just need to passively resist versus a force they generate themselves when trying to lift something. It would be interesting to see a video of you trying to lift the hydraulic press pressing head with these and see how much dynamic force they can generate to the hydraulic press. This video is just demonstrating how much force they can take, not how much force they can generate.

    The bottle jack failed because the cylinder does not have a pressure relief valve. It is instead design so that the pump has a pressure relief valve. If the pump is at maximum pressure, the relief valve in the pump will stop the fluid for going to the cylinder. It will get pumped back to the reservoir instead.

    The hydrolic pressure relief valve only bypasses fluid at the pump. How much ever fluid that was previously pumped into the cylinder before crushing it cannot go anywhere the only option it has is to blow out the cylinder and piston seals or manually bled off using the handle to let the jack down. Really impressive that the seals held on that little cylinder.
