    In the early 80's my friend and I used to visit a scrapyard west of Montreal that had a similar crusher. What differed regarding efficiency between theirs and yours is the following: the pivoting point was only a few inches from the ground. As well an important factor of physics is sheer mass: the swivel structure was filled with concrete increasing the weight of dropping mass, thus the cars in a single drop would have been 12 inches high.

    We got one here almost identical to yours that was built almost 35 years ago, quit using it because it took too long to cycle, had issues with the cable and winch , but most of all was unsafe due to no control after it was tripped. Also doesn't work well on vans or SUV's because it blows them out too wide. Hydraulic is really the only way to go. And eventually your hinges will fail and when it does it's not pretty.

    Put a car in upside down.
    Stand a car on end.
    Put one on it's side.

      If hinge was level it wouldn't be able to crush 'flat' it would leave the cars less crushed on back side. Therefore could not stack the crushed cars.

  • @TheBlaqDeval
    @TheBlaqDeval 2 роки тому +7

    Well it does smash cars, I deny that but thats not all flat really! It just crushes roofs! For flattening it all out, you got to raise the platform on where the car sits, so flapper comes sandwiching car in between, but because your sitting ground is way below your hinges mechanism, it doesn't fully crush properly.
    Its not hard to make, just a shorter panel to leave space for hinges to close in normally and just laying smasher more firmly and tighter on the crushed car. Aside from all above... Crushed cars looked in a real good shape though to be crushed, Except for last one!

    • @cornnatron3030
      @cornnatron3030 2 роки тому +2

      You will most likely run in to the problem that the lever arm has to be double the length and double the weight to flatten it completly then.
      Cause the lever gets momentum loss as soon as it makes contact , now the top part of the lever (fastest most momentum) makes contact first with a lower hinge the slowest traveling part would make contact first and would slow the smasher down giving it less momentum and less power.

    • @georgerenton965
      @georgerenton965 2 роки тому +2

      It only has to crush the roof down to make it a level base to stack other crushed cars on top so they can be stacked on top of one another on the truck.

    How to make instant Lowriders. You should've included War's lowrider song in the background of the video 😅

    Well that’s just awesome and now you can really stack those things up on the scrap trailer and send them down the road

    Probably the cheapest crusher to operate compared to the hydraulic smashers

    Great job Lads....im wandering if you poke the door and pillers in with the loader or digger they'll fit easier on the load out rig..... maybe a sideways smasher......😉😎
