    For those of you who thinks it's slow he is clearly taking his time to show how the system works and I'm assuming that he can set up both sets at once before jumping into his truck and pulling forward. This might take 3 minutes to put on both sets. It would definitely be possible to put them on with the trailer hooked up as well, not as easily but definitely very doable.

      It takes a lot longer to do it manually without this setup

    In all the 31 years that I drove, I've never seen anything as slick as this. You have a great way of applying an idea into a work saving, safe way, of chaining. And for the guy who remarked about being heavy with mud, snow and what not, just take a broom knucklehead and sweep the chains clean!! Thanks for showing this - nice video and well presented.

    • @koko3052
      @koko3052 8 лет назад +4

      Well John, pretty obvious that you haven't hauled in the oilfield. When I'm talking clay, that is that you can't pressure wash it out & you sure as hell aren't going to "take a broom knucklehead & sweep the chains clean"! roflmao!
      I'm pretty sure that you're 31 years of driving was highway or just "country dirt roads". Mr Knucklehead to you!

    • @pirate612
      @pirate612 8 лет назад +8

      Oil fields - no. Just coast to coast and the lower 48 here in CONUS. Construction, logging, livestock, and FAK. About the mud, some mud is a real pain to get off and can present a danger to those on the highway if not cleared before entering a highway. My comment "knucklehead" was over the top and not called for here. I apologize for that.

    This is a sweet set up I am a disabled trucker with bad back hips and knee replacements I can not put chains on without great problems so seeing this and how easy it is and wont hurt my back or knees its great idea. To all those guys that put it down cause they can throw chains in 10 minutes good for you I only hope you never know the problems that can make chaining up a real night mare dont bash a guy because he found a way he finds better to do a job you can do easy.

    • @leeh.4453
      @leeh.4453 9 лет назад +1

      trenton johnson I agree. I drove bus between Truckee, Northstar ski area, up to Tahoe and around the north shore all seasons. About 3" clearance in the fender well, less on some makes. The only way to hook them was either between the ground and one side or the other, depending on the bus make. If they'd had something like this, I'd still be doing it.

    I'm all for innovations, actually I spend the better part of my driving hours thinking of how I can improve stuff. I like this set up. It's perfect for older guys like me that like to do things the easy way. Especially if you only chain up every now and then going over Rogers Pass or the Coquihalla. But if you travel any serious off road this would shred to pieces in a heartbeat. So I'm afraid I won't be using this anytime soon at my job. It is pretty cool though. I put a link on my page.

    wow that was mint. A few weeks ago, I had to chain/unchain 4 duels so we could run 50km up a forest road. (my second time ever with chains) With 2 guys it takes 3/4 hour - 11 min per tire. We dont get dirty doing that job either. But that chain rollup riggin is pretty sweet !
    Great to see that kind of homebrew to make the job easier. Obviously the truck has to go places where chains are used several times per season.

    A very good idea. Only concern is that all chain installation videos show a Bobtail being installed. What about truck with trailer installations? Certainly a different installation. Having said that, the fender slide-away is a bomb! Now that’s another great idea.

    I kept (2) three foot long planks in my side box. I would place them in front of the inside set of tandems. Drive up onto them, lifting the outside set of tandems about 3" to 4" inches. This allowed me to adjust my chains (cable chains) on the tandems! I didn't have a couple Fancy diamond plate boxes with gears and gadgets! If you got the money for such things, go for that system. But, my way was fast and efficient. Just sayin'!!!

    It's a great concept but 1 you will have to keep your inter axel locked to bad you can skip the front and carry to rear drives 2 housing them with snow and ice they are going to freeze in that box and 3 if they do freeze yes officer I have chains just can't get them out of the box. It is awesome though

    it's OK on the highway but in the bush thats when you get scooped is when you pull over to chain up. that meens waiting a half hour longer on the landing witch can meen the diference of getting dumped that day or the next.
    also more moving things meen more things that can break.
    one thing for sure though pretty smart guy who thought this up.

  • @fourfortyroadrunner
    @fourfortyroadrunner 8 лет назад +1

    I swear this is true. In the 80's I worked for a parts store in Coeur d Alene. One year we got a LOT of snow overnight, late Feb I guess. Next morn (Sat) was a zoo, and in comes some kid who told me he just flew in from Hawaii to Seattle and picked up a truck to drive to ?? Texas er somewhere. He had driven only in Hawaii, NEVER in the snow. He told me he had never SEEN snow. "Back then" everybody (local loggers) used triple rail chains, maybe one single on the front in a bad spot for steering. We sold few if any dual chains (no center rail, they made 'em) and lots and LOTS of "triples." Anyway, a couple of us (we ain't drivers) had to go out in the parking lot and show this kid how to chain up with triple rails.

    Looks nice for local/yard/offroad work but on the side of the hwy in the middle of night and needing to detach from the trailer just for two sets of chains looks like too much work. Time it would take to get me rolling again with truck and trailer chains (and including the weight of that setup vs chains alone that can be removed during summer months) then removing and putting away the equipment a few miles later just doesn't seem worth the expense

    very cool idea, but by the time you chain up one wheel I am done with both sides and already on my way, and if you have to chain up in mud, your box is going to get full of mud, and if the mud freezes, you cant get your chain out, doesn't work in real world but thanks for trying

    Very good idea but alot of companies can not afford the space and weight on truck to mount this. Maybe logging trucks and such but daily longhaulers......doubt it.
