These things eat materials like nothing else, they were playing with it as they normally dont crush items like this but on automatic these things go mad and its amazing to see how good this design is for where its positioned, also the trucks that come and go to unload material are about the same height aswell and so are the walls in the yard that separate all the ferro / non ferro materials. everything in these places is done with long boom Sennebogen excavators specially designed for metal yards. I dare to say the design couldnt be any better.
The fact that you watch a two minute youtube video of it and think it could be "way better" is representative of the sad state of the world. People don't know shit about something and think they know better still.
An older, DC electric one, with a full charge, welded its forward switch closed, at full speed , Nothing I did would turn it off, including turn off the key switch, and the brakes wouldn't hold it. I thought of the battery connector, after a few seconds, but I couldn't drive it and reach and pull the connector cable apart, at the same time. It had a pretty strong pallet on the forks and I ran it into a pile of pallets that were up against one of the steel columns, that held the roof up, very strong column and bolted to the floor. It sat there and spun long enough for me to turn loose of the wheel and bend over with both hands, and pull the connector loose. What it did to me was create the need for a clean pair of underwear, figuratively speaking.
It wasn't really crushed that much. Some of the FT sections wouldn't bend too much unlike scrap cars which are very flimsy and compact well by comparison.
@@izalman yeah, I would like to see whats actually left of those forklift components. The cast pieces will break up some but most everything else is tougher.
@@MrBen527 Yes.. the reach arms on the yellow truck furthest away from the camera are at least 1"inch material seam welded into a box section, might bend but not crush ... the green Clark fork truck is probably 1/2 inch plate, cast counterwight will break if loaded in the wrong direction, chassis will bend but not crush again. Shearer will probably have a chew at it a few times to get through. (from an ex FLT engineer)
No, This would be bad for the blade wear. I actually installed that machine around 7-8 years ago. We build, install and repair. Awesome machine. It's a beast. 1000tN force on the shear.
what a waste of so many perfectly good components. ive been looking for a pair of forks to use on my tractor for like the last year and here you are smooshin the damn things.
Humans are weird, that machine would have been worth good money if scrapped and parted out but no just crush it and get a fraction of what it’s worth in scrap steel.
This is what scrapping looks like.. As far as parting it out, those forklifts looked pretty bare. All of that metal will be compacted, sheared and sold back to foundries and steel mills for reprocessing.
Everything gets scraped eventually and those looked like old lifts. It also takes time and manpower to sell company items like that which now days no company wants to bother with.
@@acidburn7777 I don't know for sure but I'd say it's either adjustable or its meant to crush on an angle, similar to when you cut metal sheet on a hydraulic shear the blade comes downs on a slant so all the force is shearing on a small area rather than the whole sheet at once, for thinner sheet you can cut with the blade closer to horizontal and for thicker material you need more angle, just like with paper you can easily cut at the tip of the scissors where the blades are closer to parallel but with card you need to cut closer to the handles where the angle is greater. This is just my theory.
Well to be fair, i'm not impressed at all. I won't dislike because it's dumb, but, this machine had a hard time crushing a simple forklift. We are able to make machines that could make a cube of a mining dump truck in 2 secondes if we need.
