Howie Did It - Hydraulic Lifting Platform
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- This is a video on how we went about creating a lifting, lowering, movable hydraulic platform capable of supporting around a tonne. Nothing suitable was available to buy, so we made one. This is how we did it.

@44:00 I was thinking, "Thats smart, using the L-brackets as leaf springs, to push the bottom part firmly to the ground and in that way preventing it from rolling away on a uneven underground.....". Anyway, back to the video...😂😂😂👍
I was wondering the same thing, and thought it would be too ductile so wouldn't spring back fully.
@@ferrumignis It HAS been done that way on purpose B-4. Springs were used.Good call!
Nah, they knew that would happen, look how well the gussets fit after they "noticed" the flex.
In my head I made my lifting platform as I watched the video, so I am now the proud owner of a virtual hydraulic lifting platform. Thank you guys!
nice dude congrats. id like to have my own one day. i just dont have a virtual space right now.
You guys, with all your virtual signalling.
And so it was born...Hydraulic Hex Ramilton
A great fabrication! I especially like your safety catch mechanism from a jackstand.
Just a note about welding.......please take it as helpful hints, and not criticism.
Solid wire MIG is welded vertically down. Horizontal MIG is generally welded forehand, such as you did for the cups. Welds should start from the outside leg of the angle iron, welding toward the corner. This helps prevent cracking at the outside edge, and allows the weld to gain more heat as you approach the corner., and lessens the chance of distortion. Again, this not criticism, but some knowledge I've gained in 50 years of welding and fabrication. Keep up the great work. I've enjoyed your projects immensely.
Thank you for passing along your hard-earned knowledge. As a new-ish welder I truly appreciate it.
I noted that too, Mig welding in a stick welding fashion....I guess we have all been guilty at times.
This is exactly what I want on a Saturday afternoon. Keep up the amazing work BOM!
Bring on Binky and the Escargo!
When are you going to admit that the entire binky build took only 6 months, and that you’ve raced, wrecked and rebuilt it three times over the past 6 years.
Oh god it has actually been over six years now 😮
Rally , what do u mean , sur u don’t need air con for rallying , something’s fishy
@@michaelgunning347 Depends if you are going to Dakar.....
Gotta admit, I clenched when you were shoving the mini about!
they need to find the center of gravity and add 'lift here' labels
That was terrifying!
Even have some removable bracing arms like under the bed of a pop top camper.
Mighty brave lads!
That looked bloody dangerous. I know the Mini is small but I wouldn't want it to fall on me.
All these years and Binky finally has wheels. Didn’t expect eight of them but hey I’m not complaining! 😂
All it needs now is a micro-switch that activates thunderbirds theme music when it's being raised.
Still my favorite channel on RUclips. Loving the new content boys. Best regards from over the pond. 😊
Now you are using "L.A.D." Lego Added Design and following your rule of 'if it is worth building, it is worth over building' Great job on the car lift.
If you can't build it out of Lego, it's too complicated.
It should be noted that the cast iron portion of the jack stand you used as your safety catch was designed to operate in compression loading. It will be far weaker when used in tension. I would rethink that aspect of the build and see if you can use that piece in compression.
I took a nap through the non-sped-up welding bits, now I'm all refreshed and I woke up in time to see the ratchet build. Awesome as usual!
Awesomely clever build, guys! Excellent work as always, thanks for sharing it with us!
Extra kudos for using parts from a jack stand for the safety. Well done!
"bad obsession Motorsports has uploaded a new video"
EVERYBODY LIKED THAT!
they need to do a shop tour
Except for 29 idiots! As of 7.55am 27th may 😆
Mr. I.K. Brunel himself would approve of such a contrivance, well done.
Well, that's the furthest Binky has moved for some time, just not under it's own power.
And the fastest.
Binky doesn't have an engine yet (as of this comment, as of that video).
@@aserta The motors been in for over 2 years. 🤣😂
MafiaboysWorld that’s a mock up motor
@@billbeyer657 That was removed a long time ago unless I was mistaken and all the parts are made for the motor they've got installed now.
Your mig welds look better than other folks' tig welds. Top notch.
There are many DIY metal fabrication channels, but as a mechanical engineer I love this one best - because the designs are sound. On a lifting device it is paramount that it has a proper design with a healthy safety margin.
It rolls well....until someone forgets to sweep up a zip tie......
Top speed on the fastest pallet jack in the factory vs unseeable rock
and a sliding dive toward whichever side the wheels are still rolling.
@@dsloop3907 luckily the handle pushes forward when you're scooting 😂
I'd liked the 3D modelling quite a lot. That's truely 21st century.
Wonder how long that took to build over all.
Couldn't have taken long.... they didn't put the kettle on
That sort of modeling is soooooo 20th century
"The Lego Group began manufacturing the interlocking toy bricks in 1949" - Wikipedia
it is 21st century, because 20th century would have been done with Meccano
@@mumbles2000 No, that would be the 19th century
"Meccano is a model construction system created in 1898 by Frank Hornby"
about 45 minutes, I reckon.
I love how you guys come up with all these ideas and ways around problems.
Mind Blown 🤯
As muh as I love the car videos, I am loving the Howie Did It videos also. I hope you keep making them. This device is pretty awesome, but somehow I don't see it being a one timer. I can see all kinds of applications that will make you guys awful happy to have something like this around. Thanks for sharing.
Not only do i enjoy Binky, the Library Bus and the making videos but i think i mostly enjoy the fact you actually use mm. It pains me when our friends from across the pond use inches for such fine measurements, its so bloody numb. Oh yeah thats 7/39th of an inch..
Oookay...
Quarter million dollars worth of man hours into binky... "Let's use it as a test weight on this unproven device!".
You guys couldn't be more like me if you tried. I'm not sure that's a compliment.
That is exactly what I was thinking. Actual visualisations of whether Binky bounces or crushes. Gnoooooooooes!!! Oh, Ok.
That MIG/MAG is turned up to eleven. Healthy full penetration on 5mm steel and a vertical bead. Hats of gents...
The thing I found the most intriguing in this most excellent and entertaining video?
Finding out there's an entirely special tool JUST FOR ZIPPING AND CLIPPING CABLE TIES!!!
OMG!!!
Fricking amazing. You guys are something to watch, very entertaining and educational. Thanks from across the pond.
Loving the AVE "dead tree carcass" comment...
Surely it needs brakes?
...or carbohydrate foam. I think it's the same thing.
Yes I noticed that he uses the occasional AVE ism as well as Cleetus McFarland
isms.
@@williamwilliams8145 Abom even gets a look in from time to time... they're definitely aware of their audience! :-)
Even a little Mighty Car Mods slips by the keeper..
@@shayne7300 No small trick with Nic moving the goal posts so often.
2:04 "Do that 8 times and you end up with this stack of blanks...and a god damn mess!" 🤣
I'm glad there was some gussets... even if only at the end. Top work as usual chaps!
Brilliant! Love the create-your-own tools part. I have to admit, that and the humor kept me coming back for more episodes. Keep up the good work, guys.
I was going for a RV lifter kit for the binky until the wheels came on :) Good job guys!
This is like a high speed "A-team" montage, brilliant
One of the best if not the best Utube channel. Look forward to the episodes, shame there so far apart. Great channel guys keep up the education and humour.
I honestly read the description as "Home Brewed Incontinence". Odd, I thought, but still. Very entertaining, and a great contrivance at the end. Good grinder work, and welding. Seriously, and I'm not taking the piss. Thank you.
Way to go Howie! Thank You 😊
I'm actually surprised that it didn't have motorized wheels.
Keep the videos coming, and we shall watch. Even if it's just you two making a mug of tea.
The evolution rage saw is brilliant I have the whole rage line in my workshop, they cut anything and refuse to die
Keep up the good work chaps
Quality work as always. Love the repurposing of the jack stands as the safety lock. That was a brilliant idea.
i love on the fly fabrication, great job as always, now to motorise the wheels so it can be remote manoeuvred and also as stated by aussiebloke609 an electric pump. looking forward to the addendum video :)
The Sahara would be covered in snow if this was another Binky upload,still great hanging out with the boys in shed drinking tea and building stuff👍👍👍
Certainly many projects on the Mini were more complicated but this was simply cool and elegant.
When you were welding on the wheel brackets I thought to myself that it won't be long now until I hear the word gusset. I was not disappointed. I love that word. cheers.
I keep trying to identify who is doing what by the scars on your hands. But then I remember... just look for that one tan hand... 41:04
"That's a healthy bead that is, Jesus" - absolutely it's like poetry watching him weld.
One of the smartest things I ever saw for moving a large piece of equipment about a shop was a plenum chamber under the machine. They had taken two plates that measured the same physical dimensions and built a box about 1 1/2" high. The lower plate had 1/8" or so holes drilled in a grid pattern and then they had put a small rubber flashing around the edge. When they wanted to move the band saw into position to cut material they just hooked the box under the saw to a shop air line and away they went on their home made hovercraft. When done, hook up the air line and back against the wall. The plates measured about 6' x 3' so if you could maintain a 2 PSI pressure under the plate you could move about 5000 lbs.
Nick, you truly are a master at welding. It's like watching an artist paint.
Richard was the first choice for the Hatton Garden "Press man" to knock over the vaults, but he was busy working on Binky obvs.
All without a whisper of funk played. Amazing. :D
I KNEW there was something missing...
Well conceived and planned and well constructed. I hope your show has a junior membership in the UK. You gentlemen are great examples to youth.
Gentlemen again I must applaud your multiplicity of talents. For those without a workshop to manufacture one, look up the "AGA lift table" I have seen it myself and its a nice automotive workshop solution rated to 1,500lb. Carry on!
the real Never Ending Story... You are always finding ways to postpone/procrastinate Binky itself ! We'll never see it running ! Lovely ;o)
Yeah, they will start a "Donate to see Binky run around the local supermarket car park " page.
Could be VERY useful if you need to pull the bus's transmission...and a lot more stable than a traditional trans jack. :-D
But - it needs an electric pump. Hop to it, Nik! :-P
I'd personally go for air over hydraulic
Just because it's nicer to work with and cab be very easy to find
And compact
But mainly because of control
@@John.strong air can be compromised far easier than oil
It needs a wiper motor to make it electric ;)
@Paul C Agreed. Pneumatics are more dangerous if a seal blows - all that pressure. Hydraulics drop their pressure almost instantly when there's a leak, since the fluid isn't compressible.
@@aussiebloke609 Which is why the floor jack shaft was used. If the hydraulics fail then the ratchet system will stop the lift in its tracks.
Very clever. This contraption will come in handy for all kinds of projects.
Engines and transmissions and in the car hauler.
Made far better than anything you could of bought ! You guys are incredible with knowledge and skill !!
G'day guy's , an apithany occurred when Binky moved😉😊👍👍
You just created a mini hoist for track work, or maintenance😃
Definitely more than a single use item for lifting.
( mini hoist like that😋)
Marty and Moog need one of these in their shop.
Loved the use of the axle stand for a safety device. As usual guys a highly entertaining production. Thank You.
You’ve lifted your content to a new level
Hey @Evolution_Saws
I think the Binky crew needs to “trial” one of your more appropriate metal cutting saws. 😉
You've effectively made the world's most robust motorcycle lift... on wheels!
I was gonna say either they need to work on the heaviest motorcycle I ever saw or they've decided to drop the engine and transmission out of the RV to work on it.
@@misterthegeoff9767 You probably nailed it right on the head with that guess.
@@misterthegeoff9767 An HD (Hardly Dangerous?!) would do just fine, I'd reckon ...
Yes very similar design to my bike lift but obviously a lot more heavy duty and my bike lift is air operated
We need to see one of these planning sessions that you two come up with these designs. I cannot imagine the meeting is very efficient with all the tea breaks and tangential conversations.
It’s a refreshing change to see you guys doing some more “mundane” fabrication. As in smashing some bits of box and angle together instead of the usual superhuman fabrication. I don’t feel so inferior now I’ve seen you build something of a standard I could achieve lol!
Great work (as always!), really neat solution to an everyday problem.
Do you guys keep hold of part-worn cutting discs to get the ends of your slots more vertical? (10:00) I know I do!
I enjoy these videos even with the 'simpler' production quality compared to the Project B vids. Thanks for putting them together. It is really interesting to see this level of detail.
Not enough brackets! More brackets please! Brackets are what holds the world together!! Great episode all the same.
Great work gentlemen. Cuppa well earned. Those Evolution saws are fantastic. They make cutting steel as easy as cutting wood.
Tonight, a treat especiale!
I wish my lathe had a 5x function...
This is a wonderful video. This thing is a work of art. I love it. Safety catch is a work of genius. Love you guys so much.
There's nothing more satisfying than watching you guys work!
Hang on a minute...
No push button control? No blue paint job? No superfluous brackets everywhere? Have you gone slack or something?😜
Nik's brackets are never superfluous. (over-engineered, overly complex and an engineering marvel, but never superfluous)
Brackets are at 40:45. Have fun!
They went for an industrial design.
@@MishraArtificerBut no gussets???!!!!
@@philipdixon Well, yah. Watch when they test BinkyRoller. They find they need gussets on the wheel mounts. 16 of 'em.
Just when I thought I couldn't love you guys more you throw a working Lego prototype at me!!
I now feel like I'm cheating on my wife watching your vijeos!
I like watching your videos on day where I'm feeling really good about myself. Brings me back down to my miserable and depressed reality.
BTW, my mind is blown.
I'm at 43:30, but I thought about this a few minutes ago. I can't believe you screwed up the caster install. That is a huge weak point. Maybe I'm missing something, but out there on those weak brackets it's not going to be durable. Guess I'll find out if I'm wrong. Looks like gravity and leverage is going to win.
Ok, just saw the result. Shocked you, "Tried it anyway.".
Also, why didn't you put it under the car the long way? Then you wouldn't have to worry about getting the balance point between the front and rear of the car. The video looks like it was a little tippy front to back. Just my thoughts. I guess what they say about engineers is true. Great at the theoretical, shat at real world? I'm getting to cocky over here alone naked with a bag of Cheetos and a keyboard. Be right back, gotta pour another.
As always, you're both the perfect blend of genius and lunatic. Keep up the good work.
That's great about the hydraulic platform thingy. TELL US ABOUT THE ZIPTIE TOOL.
You can get them from RS-components - uk.rs-online.com/web/c/cables-wires/cable-accessories-ties-tools/cable-tie-tensioning-bundling-tools/?searchTerm=zip%20tie%20cutter
Those mig welds are feckin beautiful :P
I really thought it was going to have power lift and possibly drive. No seriously it’s always a good day when you bring out a new video.
Hello from Russia - Kazan! Very good idea! I am pleased to follow your project. Well done.
New BOM video? Sweet.
*settles in for 45 minutes of interesting content*
Nearly saw the left hand side of Binky? Maybe there isn’t one? :o
Not nearly as pornogenic as the right-hand side I'm guessing.
Don't rush them, they're nearly done the right side!
Ledgin has it that the left side isn't even done
Brilliant work guys!!! Cheers from the USA...
I would say that is the perfect amount of over-engineering. Fabulous work boys!
I did not expect that building a movable lifting Plattform would a 45min job! Let‘s make it 53min including the paint job....
Amazing build. With videos like this, could you let us know approximately how long it took you? Also, thanks for the gem on why you guys like using step drill bits. I noticed the deburring thing myself. I also like how you don't have to keep changing out bits to make a large hole.
Reminds me of my apprentice days in a metal shop, box section, angle iron cutting and very accurate holes. All we need is some chain drilling.
10 out of 10 for the welding quality !!!
I wonder if you could make some money selling plans for some of the things you build. That lift seems very handy yo have around.
Yeah good idea to test it with the car you are building since 1896. 👍
You guys continue to impress me. I hope you realize how amazing you both are.
As always fantastic workmanship, and problem solving, reminds of me of when I was running my business, and we had to build most of our own production kit, I had some some very skilled guys like you, and they loved building new kit.
You have a true vertical lift, not an arc, like. I also liked the adopt and adapt safety mechanism, adopted from an axle stand, and adapted to your lift.
Thanks, now get back on to Binky.
you can use the ram later as an automatic boot open-close function!
Looks like a winner, It would also work as a motorcycle lift!!
just repurpose a hospital bed if you want that
That's bloody awesome, I love your solution for the safety mechanism.
Great Design, Fabrication and I'm glad I had my welding goggles handy for this bright spark of an brilliant idea!
Starring Richard "Tan Right Hand" Brunning
You should get a show on TLC and call it My Strange Contraption.
Good man Howie. Well done Nik and Richard.
To most who are not in the trade this would seem boring I Delight in your skill Keep it up mate
Should have just built a bigger lego one it would have been fine, best use of a jack stand I have seen for a while, so now you have sorted moving the new kettle about can we get back to the vehicles please.
