- The future of vehicle dismantling
Increase profitability by using the VRS to quickly remove higher grade materials such as engine/transmission assemblies, axle/suspension components and copper wiring loom.
The Powerhand VRS is the ultimate combination of power and dexterity. The slender design, plier-like grapple, creates a straight line of sight from the operator to the vehicle, making wire extraction from the tightest of spaces an effortless task.
The VRS is built to work all day, every day.

This operator is so good that I'm surprised there's not a separate pile for wiper blades.
@2pidtoo, Now that was clever and funny, but also true
Yup. He can probably separate fuses into 3A, 5A, 10A and 25A piles.
He probably has a pile for change that he finds under the seats.
@@LowVoltage_FPV Lol. Good one.
the comments are making me crack up
I showed this video to my car, and it never broke down again...
Hahahahahahahaha
Hahahaha
😂😂😂
Terminator!!!
Bmw could never
The way it is able to pull the car apart so effortlessly is both satisfying and a bit frightening.
Like watching a sci-fi flick with scary robots.
I get what you mean. Yeah.
Yeah it looks like its eating crab
I want a video game of this.
The sound of crunching, tearing sheet metal is only a little terrifying.
The skill required to make a 20-30 ton insect look like an extension of your own hand is insane. The operator has the dexterity of a surgeon.
The skill of the machine operator should not be overlooked. He/she definitely is a talented professional with that machine.
The skill of the machine operator can not be overlooked, I was thinking if only he had a machine built specifically for the job, I get the impression the machine is a general purpose machine that's been adapted.
It's prolly the only job he's had. Plus anyone that is an operator can literally do this job this is easy. excavating and grading and moving earth is much more complicated. This is just a slow calculated job .
I bet he has a cigarette dangling from his lip
Dude can pick your teeth with that rig.
It's his/her first day on the job.
That was definitely the fastest engine removal I have ever seen.
🤣🤣
You haven been to a shitty mechanic shop then.
🤣
I gotta have a chat to my mechanic, he charged me 8 hours labour to remove my engine.
I watched a guy at a local yard pick the car up by the engine, then shake the car off the engine, like a dog worrying at a rope.
The sheer power and dexterity of the machine is incredible
Great work, however i will decline yer offer of a full valet!
The power of hydraulics
@@dawsongranger4940 ...The power of hydraulics
The precision of machining
The strength of metallurgy
The design and understanding of it all.
Stupid machine, It took my job!
I liked seeing it simply rip out the entire engine and transmission.
The way he so delicately separated the wiper motor from everything else was pretty impressive
The little forks on each side being used to strip components from wiring is pretty neat
My fav part aswell
yeah i enjoyed seeing him use it there at the end :)
There goes someone’s hard won dream car, such a sad day and damning testament to our culture of disposability.
@Diogenes yes, I'm sure they do that with operational and functional cars.
Of course
You need an Engine Control Module for a 2020 BMW? hold on... just a sec...
here you go!
"It doesn't look good, sir. We may have to pull the engine."
"How long will that take?"
"Oh, about 5 seconds."
Meu sobrinho de 10 anos gostou muito do teu comentário!!!
All those memories...shed a tear for you Mr. Car.
I can’t believe they are grinding up perfectly good cars, I would’ve driven any one of those
they're in a scrapyard for good reason
@@LoFi3 not always.
Failed annual inspection often and poorly maintained. Got a car twice its age and never failed annual inspection due to diligent maintenance.
I really hope this is a joke.
Amazing operator. At one point I thought he was going to pull the documents out of the glove box and set them aside.
He controls it all so smoothly that It’s like watching an animal pick over a carcass.
Like a big mechanical camel spider
Horizon Zero Dawn vibes
It looks like a fun job.
What's the matter kid never have lamb chops?
Makes you wonder why all the hype about Transformers.
DEVASTATED! Perfectly good headlights on that! Clearer than the murky ones on my Clio! Could do with plenty more spares off it too I’m sure.
It's so stupid, perfectly usable spare parts just go to bin...
Quicker and easier to make money this way 3 years ago I suppose. Not anymore surely considering the price of secondhand cars. That French steel just does not rust either. Surprisingly durable car.
I mean if they don't even try to salvage parts, that kinda sucks indeed, if they put it on a scrap yard and nobody came to buy the parts, i mean can you blame them, it's usually not worth it to send old 2nd hand parts across the world unless they are really rare and no longer produced, but these headlights you can still buy on the aftermarket
@@MrTurbo_ I'd love to say my opinion from a 3rd world country, what happens is our currency is so weak, taxes are so high, the aftermarket new parts are more expensive than the imported scrap parts like in the video, scrap cars are almost tax free, so you get a decent OEM parts with cheaper prices, we benefit from almost everything, you definitely can't buy a new aftermarket full dashboard or even ac vents for an old car like this.
Old Clios are meant to die gloriously in a rallying crash.
I used to live a few hundred feet from a wrecking yard. I would walk my very young son there to watch the employees tearing apart old cars. He loved every second of it.
This was mesmerizing trying to discern some of the parts he was ripping out of there to salvage. The operators not only gifted at running the machine but he also has to know car mechanics quite well.
Mesmerizing is the right word. Someone, somewhere said "you know what we really need?" Then this beauty was born. 😅
Basic car component knowledge is needed. You just need to know all the different systems a car has, engine and transmission, suspension, frame, ABS pump, AC system, cooling system etc. All in all it doesn't take huge amount of knowledge of cars.
I always knew having just two engine mounts was never a good idea
Yea the tens of millions of cars with only two motor mounts all spontaneously combusted:( so sad:((
I agree, who knows when a giant dismantler attacks you on your way to mcdonalds?
@@antreaskonstantinou8585 uhm, I guess the engine being dismantled will be the least of your problems. xD
That's why they have three.
that renault has 4 engine mounts lmao
The operator of this machine has true dexterity skills. Highly impressive. I really enjoyed watching this. The way tiny pieces were plucked from the car was amazing. If I was there watching I would have given the operator a standing ovation!
Lol. You could do it too. It’s called a job. I’m certain that most pro gamers could do this with a little practice.
Crackheads enjoying tearing up shit' crackheads like and also like watching others pluck tiny pieces of shit off perfectly working items ' especially cellphones. I'm surprised you're able to watch this video.
@@samueldavis5895 you have to have some patience though! I'd want to just destroy the car real quick
@@AxeDragon1989 🤣. Got you. I suppose many would.
@@samueldavis5895 yeah, this is why we call them "skilled workers". There are millions of jobs out there that require training and practice but once you've done it for years it seems easy. That's what "pro" means.
Operating this thing would be such great therapy for retired mechanics.
That car was dismantled with almost as much care as it was put together at the factory.
I have one of those, so true...
Hopefully mine has a solid 110 hp gas engine
🤣💀
I would say more. The operator plays this thing like a fine instrument.
Getup aah.
I like the way he's like "fuck the radiator" lol
The combination of speed, precision and ruthlessness is astounding!
Most machines I've seen either very precise or very strong, but not both. Seeing an exception to this is pretty cool.
Beautiful work on the part of the operator too-he didn't just operate this monster-he _became_ it.
I guess that depends on your definition of precise and strong.
I bet you really hoped to grow up to be a movie critic)))))
Not much experience with machinery, huh?
DMG MORI cnc lathes
@@TheyForcedMyHandLE When I say "precise", I mean unreasonably precise, like how a CNC machine can get tolerances of thousandths of an inch on parts that might be a few feet wide at their biggest. It's the range of orders of magnitude that counts.
When I say "strong" I mean something which can exhibit continuous and brutish amounts of force, like a hydraulic press or those massive "shred anything" machines.
I have never operated an excavator or similar, yet Im still pretty certain that this mans skill and dexterity is well above average
It's a lot easier than you may think.
that was once somebody's new car and sunshine in their day.
That cost thousands 😟
@@joeshmoe9978 hello
Even had a sunroof...
Same can be said for weddings!
Like my dads Rover P5B, or most of them went ages ago
Always a pleasure to watch a skilled workman at his profession.
Thanks for the video!
There was no stupid music covering up the actual sounds of the machinery and processes, and you even gave the 2 different cameras views of the car being mutilated :)
I used this machine to do an engine swap. On the plus side, super fast, fastest swap we've ever done by more than 4 hours. On the down side, we had some issues with the wiring harness.
I can't tell if this is a joke or not, but either way it made me laugh. It's a bit like saying you put the milk back in the fridge using a forklift.
I think I saw a few wiring harnesses in that other container, you might find just the part you need over there!
so the machine has a REVERSE button?
That operator has mad skills. I've know some people that I'd greatly enjoy doing that to their car. Cheers from America!
It's like watching a praying mantis dissect its meal. The accuracy of this huge machine is incredible. Just loved the way the operator removed the bits of plastic ganging off the wires, near the end.
Nice video. I can remember when auto junk yards would have these. Then salvage usable parts from them, then sell them for less than half new price to customers. It was very economical for people to use them parts to repair their cars. Engines, seats, windows, transmissions and all. Buying new parts with awful markups will bankrupt many people
Breaks my heart seeing these vehicles get ripped apart prior to recycling. Someone, somewhere took pride in that vehicle bringing it home from the dealership and creating a life with it taking them to various destinations.
As someone who really enjoys their cars, I hate seein them get destroyed as well.
Same here. Few new parts, bit of servicing, that car could be good for years. But it's less valuable than the cost of repair. So...
@@Rapscallion2009 how would car makers sell new cars and make more money? how would banks give out more loans to service? how would government collect more tax?
I understand crushing the metal is part of the process, but you would think that they would at least remove some parts, like the windshield and windows, seats, headlights etc to maybe sell them as replacement parts. idk if that's a logistical nightmare, but it doesn't seem efficient.
@@LorikQuinn there’s a high tech place in Europe that does that. Basically just the shell is left over for recycling while the other parts are inventoried and sold to repair shops. Usually depends on how new the vehicle is too.
This is kind of incredible how easy it just goes in there and rips out whatever with ease.
I was waiting for him to pluck out the rear seat and look for loose change, jewelry, wallets etc.
🤣💀
😂😂😂
What happened to the car is sickening. Pure sadism. Should be outlawed.
Lmaooo
@@miamicakes1830 HAHAHAHA! Take a Xanax will ya? 😂
Displayed a lot of finesse picking out those individual modules. I'm in my mid 50's and still mesmerized watching these machines
Man's pulling out cables 😳 that's some skills right there .
I bet he could pick your teeth with that thing. 😂
It's like watching a giant bird feeding on a dead animal.
Reminds me of my last marriage...
@@low-phas sorry mate but you made me ask, How and why?
@@billgriffiths1685 How? Like the operator. Destroying you systematically with surgical precision only to be crushed and thrown away.
Why? I still don't know the answer to that one. It was a long time ago.
The operator orchestrated a brutal symphony with his machine indeed. 👏🏽
I worked at a Honda repair shop for a couple of years. I would have LOVED to have one of these. Would have made things much more satisfying.
I thought it was Renault Clio...
I felt ur pain.
Those fingers have better dexterity than my own. Well done.
That is fairly brutal... I could not help feeling a bit sorry for that little car while it was being torn apart!
I'm not
Pretty sure that the junkyard part from "Brave Little Toaster" would have resulted in actual nightmares for children if this thing was in the movie.
just a creature feasting in its natural habitat
It's French! This is the most fun you can get out of it -*laughs maniacally*
@@Litanicoh I see … and what do you think of German cars then ?
This is so cool! I would actually enjoy watching more of this content, its very entertaining to observe how the operator picks apart the scrap!
The way things are headed most likely AI will recycle cars/stuff w/ in 10 yrs😞🤯
That’s crazy how effortlessly it rips the entire engine and transmission out
It's like watching a mechabird pick its prey apart. What a machine.
Bet you he wins a stuffed animal from the claw machine every time!
He is the claw 😂
It's not all that impressive actually...the tools doin all the work, and that's the perfect tool for the job
LMAO!
Excellent
Там обман
The way it yanked that engine out of that bay area just amazed me. That was incredibly.
That's how they often replace your spark plugs at kwikfit and then tell your cars fucked and its gonna cost you more
Incredibly _what?_
YEAH, ALMOST SCARY
Super sad though
That was incredibly... what?!
I NEED CLOSURE ON THAT SENTENCE, DAMNIT! 🤬
Ваш контрактный двигатель пришёл. Можете забирать.))))

А навесное на месте?)

It's amazing how easily all those parts come out, if you can just grab them tightly and pull hard enough!
Hahahhaha
Remarkable precision. Only one thing missing. The aroma at all scrap yards!
I love how it effortlessly rips the engine out.
Such precision and grace with a huge machine is remarkable.
Subbed
The Operator has real finesse with those hydraulic jaws, very impressive skills!
He must be good at those claw-grab machines at the arcade.
@@phoephoe795 That's a good observation!
Not really, it's very easy to do for anyone who uses heavy machinery, its just standard cat controls.
This is the precise work that only on the job can teach.
You Sir are a pro
It's a little bit sad. I mean there are a lot of things that could have been used as the body parts like front lights, windshield, side glass, some external body parts etc.
From the other side - awesome work!
There are million Clios, you dont need thousands of Clio doors
Do you know how difficult it is to be a parts dealer and deal with that constant stream of morons looking for crap? And the space you need just for storage of those vehicles. More cost effective to scrap and melt the metal down
This video is pure bullshit, when you pretend to "recycle" you never throw away a lot of parts that was on that car, and mixed metal and plastic yeah great for recycling
Just because there are lots of Clios doesn't mean that this and other breakers don't give a shit about older car parts and relentlessly scrap them - it's easier to process scrap than sell parts, even though it makes more money.
This video might show a common Clio, but this is happen to every car that goes there - even rarer ones.
@@Hobinator17 “constant stream of morons looking for crap” proves you don’t have and haven’t ever had a hobby or passion
The pin precision was amazing. And had ripped the inside for further processing. Still the memories of the car to make new cars.
Got to love how he extracts the electrical system
an audio commentary explaining each removal piece would be very interesting
This is one of those videos that comes up on my feed randomly,
and now I’m obsessed with scrap car dismantling
As a fellow machine operator, you sir have my respect 🫡👍🏻
Okay that was interesting but now let's see you reassemble it with that machine! Come on do it I want to see it I'm waiting!
Gives a whole new meaning to "pick a part".
The operator is incredible!!! What skills. Bravo
Once upon a time, that car was someone's pride and joy as they drove it off the new car dealership. Reduced to scrap.
it was wrong-hand drive anyway
Couldn't be proud of an econobox
@@spdzodzo at least "wrong hand drive" done Brexit.
Took them on holidays and to family get togethers etc.
We used one of ours as one of our wedding cars and one of our other cars our daughter was born in station wagon area now both are scrap metal.
It will be made into a more crappier car
when you job is operating this machine - you just know your going to have a great day at work, and never have a day off sick
A highly skilled machine operator indeed. Nice precision work with the claw
I see the precision in this video is top tier. Very nice skills
Seems like an awfully inefficient way of changing the headlight bulb.
Another Union Job
He’s very precise for not having anyone holding the flashlight for him
Now this is a job I’d enjoy going to everyday.
I love how the car just crumbles almost as if it's made out of a thin film of plastic that's has hardened over and disintegrates with the slightest touch upon it, making you forget that this car is made out of metal.
Это какая-то расчлененка!!! Жесть.
Прощай! Мы будем помнить тебя!

@@user-ij7le8vi4uкак насрал бы на чермет с высоты ?
The crunching noises are so wonderful. The operator’s dexterity is freaking wild!
I’m a manager at a vehicle recycling yard and I’d love to see the drain process of oils and fluids. Do you guys also do CAT removals?
Just look on the ground and you've found the process
Amazing to watch, everyone knows how heavy an engine is, plus the fact of all the hoses and clamps and nuts and bolts and more resistance, done with ease. It seemed the lower clamps with the blades would have done more damage than just holding the car down.
At a scrap yard you normally slice the mounts with an acetylene torch before this
He was a very skilled operator but the whole process seems way too slow to be economically practical.
The sooner sorted the better.
@Michael @6sheds is right...for now, this IS the fastest & best way to separate & sort out all the parts for scrap & recycle. If it was man power, FORGET IT! close up shop!...if it's by mauling the entire thing,...guess who's gonna go through all that mess sorting it all out again?🙎🏻♂️ it'll take days maybe weeks just to do all that. Let's enjoy this fancy claw on the excavator for now till we have someone from the University of Recycled Scrap come up with a better idea. Unless you have one to pitch?
@@guahanbassoutlaw5081 lol I was about to say the same thing, look how fast he just ripped that engine clean out haha
I was thinking the same thing. How much fuel burned while removing a wiring harness. That thing is not fuel efficient I am sure. Was cool for the first 2 mins than Im like crush the friggin car!!
@@1lefty123
I'm sure it's still less fuel than mining that copper
being a car mechanic and knowing how bad some of these things come off if you want them in one piece - its amazing to see how lightfooted the excavator takes everything like its a paper towel.
He's almost surgical, that is impressive 👏
I was shocked when he not only plucked the wiring but an airbag too was plucked out. Wow, operator has great skill with such a big machine, I think best I ever did was plucked a pneumatic screen door closer off a junk storm door with a grabber!
Fantastic machine. Pays for itself
I’d like to take this piece of equipment to congress while in session.

WOW, He could open my beer holding in my hands.
All uninsured , old with no mot vehicles should meet this machine , as well as whatever that car was recycled for . Might have been a good idea to remove the reg though first . Brilliant recycling and operator .
It picked that hood off like it was peeling the lid of a yogurt cup.
Thats why its called the POWERhand.
After being a mechanic for 20 years, I love watching them being destroyed like this.
Same here, 20+ years as a mechanic, the vid of a new Ferrari getting crushed was my favourite when everyone else was having a cry about it being squished lol.
That guy could check the oil & change those wiper blades if he wanted
A skillful operator!

I hope the amateurs from Baxenden car breakers are watching this video.... this is a tidy yard and an expert operator 😮😮
I didn't see him take the owner's manual out of the glove box ..their worth something too ya know lol
Engine is ready for resale.
I know this car is cheap and old but just imagine that you owned this car for 10-15 years and then you see it being torn apart to pieces in couple of minutes 😭
Know what u mean,took my old vectra to the scrappie .
Had it ten years . Forklift straight through the windows to lift off trailer.
I know it was going for scrap but still a bit sad to see.
That's exactly the thought that was going through my mind. My car, bought new 14 years ago come May still goes well and will probably be replaced in a year or so. I'm not looking forward to it at all. It'll be just like when I took my dogs to the vet 35 and 24 years ago.
Id be like. ...Bitch....! You done left me on the side of da road , at 2:00 in the morning, for the last time...!!
Rest well up in that great Scrapyard in the Sky....
@@rayjennings3637 You're not going to scrap a 14 years old car right? I have a 21 years old Ford Focus wagon, drives like a dream. Plus point of having an old car is that you don't have to care about scratches. I often toss it full to the brim with 400kg of old concrete and garden waste to take it to the dump, works easy 😎 But yeah it will be though to see it ripped up like in this video indeed. Especially if you've done a few long holiday roadtrips with it. A car becomes like a small home on wheels during such trips.
@@Engineer9736 I did use the word 'probably' when talking about a replacement so it's not a done deal. I bought it a couple of weeks before the model was discontinued, as a result it's fitted with all the goodies that they didn't want left on the shelf, so there's that! I still enjoy driving it, fuel consumption is very good at 57mpg but it's a diesel, it's not quite as comfortable as it was but then neither am I - at least according to my wife! 🙂 I misuse mine as much as you do - the car that is, not my wife! I have been thinking of installing one of these after-market infotainment systems to give it a bit of a lift. The biggest bug-bear is that it's an MPV and a natty car like the Mazda CX-30 definitely appeals.
yeah this piece of specialised kit is just a clamp really its the operator has some real skill and patience to do this a true master of his craft
So, medical School didn't work out for that one... ...he wanted to become a surgeon tho. 🤣😂🤣

I was looking at another upload a while back. It was mid 70's. We were noting all the cars from the 60's and 70' that are now classics being crushed with what seemed to have nothing much wrong with them. I supose well be looking at these current uploads in 30 years time and wonder at all the classic cars being ripped to bits!
