If you haven't watched it yet, the best smash is at 10:00. At least that's my favorite!
Cheers mate. That saved 10 wasted minutes👍
He smash the car in the camera!!! 🤣

What a rescue mission for that camera lmao
Put 2 smashed cars on top of each other and smash them again please
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.
Where can i put my ex?

Great job on the car crusher dude I want to see what it does if you stack one on top of another then drop it I wonder how far it will crush it
Me too, I was going to post the same comment. Can't wait to see this happen!
I wonder what would happen if they turn the car around so that it smashes more of the motor side of the car
EXACTLY
can you submit this to the nearest city as an option for execution? of course only for the atrocious people who deserve it.
@@EternalResonance which ones are that you know occasionally humans do make mistakes and convict the wrong person
That thing is brutal. I love it. But I almost cried when you crusher the Intrepid.
The crusher is cool but that dodge boom truck is amazing. I can’t believe what some people will scrap I would love to own that thing
Love it. You should pour concrete in the top 6ft of it. Reduce the bounce add a few ton.
I think the winch is already pumping it’s little guts out already with the load it’s lifting already.
30k winch whole lid is less then 13K and only picking up one end. The winch is fine!
maybe sand ? concrete might crack if you dont reinforce it
Hey Tony
Another successful build !
I would like to see a car put in with the engine facing away from the pivot as well as two cars at the same time.
Put a car in upside down.
Stand a car on end.
Put one on it's side.
I mean, sense we are playing, lets try it all !
Thanx fur the entertainment.
Now about the upcoming build with the Super Singles ?
Play Safe, Be Well
Hmmmm that does sound like a good time!
@@HardCoreFab might as well throw some semi’s in there to.
After crushing stak 2 or 3 and see how flat that gets
Make sure that if they still have running engines, you red line 'em during the crushing process. But WAIT! Let me go make some popcorn.
That's pretty bad ass! You can crush as much of those ford's as you want! Lol
Yeah not much lost there. Lol
What happens if you stack 2 smashed cars on each other and resmash them together ? Could you get another foot shorter on each car? May be easier to stack?
Yes... this would be worth watching
Adding a bit more weight to the lid I think it would crush two cars at once.
I still think that the hight between the bed and the lid is a bit too high. The hood and trunk are not affected much by the crushing
We are planning on playing with it more soon
@@HardCoreFab You could also try tilting the car to the side and giving it one more smash. 😎
if the engines are still in the cars they probably turn intoo a wedge shape , maibe if the stack them with the noses in oposite direction the engines can embed themselfes in the trunkspace
“”HULK MAD… HULK SMASH CARS!!!
I read you had a lot of suggestions, may I make another, turn the car around so the most weight hits the engine compartment where the most structure is. Cool build!!!
I would look to some sort of cable release and wieght the hook so you can free spool it down because the rapid unspooling seems like that will be hard on the winch. Cool build
When the dog on the winch is disengaged the gears in the winch aren't turning so there is no stress on the winch.
I'm thinking he means like the bushings in the drum etc spinning pretty fast. Probably hurt it over time.
A quick disconnect on the hook end of the cable might prevent that. Sort of like a large car door latch you could pull with a rope on the cable hook end.
@@scubasteve7946 yes plus cable whipping at end
Stack 2 smashed cars together on it and smash
Built pretty much the same car crusher 45 years ago. 20 inch high beams and 3/4 steel plate. Burned up to Lincoln welders, welding at damn thing up. We use the 5-ton rear axle and the GMC V6 engine. It worked okay but it was extremely time-consuming and Messy. They ended up just letting the regular car crushers come in.
Nice Job! I'm in my fifties now but when I was a teenager, I drew up plans for a crusher just like this design. One correction I see is you'll need to push the doors in so it will fit on a semi trailer correctly. Overall, I'm jealous that you have this crusher and I don't.
I'm impressed- but I think it would do better if the hinge was level with the table! also if you load the cars to the end of the swing it will make em flatter!😁
I was gonna ask him the same thing why did he position the hinge pin so high off the surface you figure it would be more stable if it were attached to the floor
@@pipegang6497 that's my way of thinking! I agree 100%.
The only reason for the elevated hinge is it allows for better momentum and keeps it from binding up.
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.
🤷 That's just my weird little brain. Who knows 😆🙌✌
@@mikethatguy27 you are correct, plus the engine is the most un crushable thing in the car, so having it level would not work
Hard to believe y’all painted it before you tested it.
Got to look fresh for the first car
I painted my vehicles before I drive them too! LOL
That's a much better crush with the tires and wheels off the car!!
Great idea . Yup my thought was the pivot point why so high however .. flatten a car or 2 then double stack and flatten them with one on top of the other. Should have a good result ..
That’s awesome!!
A paint can or watermelon on each would be cool LOL
Could hang a few shirts across the back wall and have a new merch line 😁
Got here by accident stayed for duration cause content!! Awesome guys
Q. why not place the cars in backwards? Would the engine block stop the "SMASHER"? Thanks for entertaining us!
Glad you enjoyed it
Cool build and looks like it works pretty good. You always impress with what you build.
Stack 2 smashed cars then smash them again! Lol
Definitely turnd out cool. Could watch it work all day!
Very well built. I love it!!!
Thank you!
GEEEZ!!!that's awesome! That "wrecker truck" is a winch truck with gin poles, it's got oddly mounted poles but it's super cool
The bed is junk but the rest is sweet!
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!
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.
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.
best thing that could happen to a ford
Yeah because the chevys are all gone rusted to pc or crushed
I drove a Chevrolet for a while… Then I got a job!
The panther platform cars are insanely reliable lol
Obviously a genuine millenial or the parent of one.😂
100%
Way. Way. Way cool.. liability insurance?? We don’t need no stinking liability insurance.
That's awesome. You should put a car in on its side to see how skinny it can get
That’s Excellent Job Question will those cars look Wide when I get crushed will they fit on a tractor trailer without all the hanging
None that we have crushed so far would be too wide to go on a truck. Having that said I think you would need to push the doors in on a pick up or a Van to keep them from being too wide
Did you get the go-pro out?LOL!
Lol Surprisingly it was unscathed
Junkyard next to me while growing up used one of the same basic design. That was in the early 70's. Now i shudder when i think of the cool cars it must've crushed.
Hinge needs to be closer to the table , but not level, say 6"-12", good video
You never sees to impress me from Belding cars to crushing them lol
Seize
@@brandonsciulli774 If you're gonna act like you're smarter than someone else and correct they're spelling, you ought to know how to spell it yourself. The word is "cease", As in "cease and desist"
@@bobd9193 hehehe
I think i would load the cars with the engine towards the end of the smasher. I would also make another maybe 6"-10" plate to place on the platform under smaller cars to smash them even flatter since the hinge is so high. That or spin the cars around and hit them a second time might even work.
maybe have the hinge capable of dropping as it falls.
@@1stontario Would be easier and safer to just remake the hinge in such a way its adjustable and able to move up or down for thicker/thinner vehicles. That hinge needs to be rigid as possible to be safe as possible.
I am a happier man now and would love to see 2 cars stacked up for a second crush. Such satisfying entertainment.
First video I've watched on this channel. Can't wait to watch more👍
when the back plate slid into position, all I could think of is Jim Carrey saying "Like a glove!"
How to make instant Lowriders. You should've included War's lowrider song in the background of the video 😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes I should have
Great job. Works better than I thought it would.
Hey, give him credit, at least he was out doing something not sitting on your dead dupas doing nothing.
Car-nage! Awesome
Very cool build for sure. Looking forward to seeing how it all holds up.
It'll buff out... LOL! Seriously, how has this video not had 1M views?!
😂😂😂😂
kevat310, it is not because there are not enough maroons.
For much better results, remove the tires, open the windows, smash the front windshield and take off the gas cap before smashing. Less pneumatic counterforce to deal with this way.
It's certainly an awesome attempt at building a home made crusher! Well done guys!👍😀
I was going to say that you guys should keep the car off center to the hinges to reduce the leverage on the hinges 🧐👍 great job Anthony 😎
As my Grandpa use to always tell me (every time he saw me, it seemed); "If you're going to waste your life, you might as well have fun while you're at it."
100%
Very well done. I would have looked into a slightly different hinge design that would drop that plate at a flatter angle of attack, that way it would hit the cars on a more even strike. That way you could get let’s wobble in your strike, and the cars would be nice and evenly flattened. But very nice, and ASMR!
Well then, you just go ahead and build your very own crusher and we will be more than thrilled to watch your videos.
@@chrisallen9154 Why the attitude. He has a valid opinion. I thought the same thing. Only not every vehicle is going to be the same height or crush the same. It would be quite difficult to offset the hinges while retaining the strength. Based on other comments though, this is about as this type of crusher can get. They blow out taller vehicles like vans, which could be a real problem when loading them on a truck.
Works good. You could pour some concrete on there for some more weight
If it was me..... I would add a hydraulic cylinder onto a pin lock mechanism to hold the ram in the upright position. And then release the cable from the lid. You have the hydraulic setup already. Add 1 valve. And some hoses. Pull lever. Pin gets pulled out which releases hulk smash. Cables under high speed whipping around open areas like that is my main concern. Love the build.
Smash all the glass with the loader, that way most of the mess will be inside the car, and , I think it’ll smash a little bit harder….👍👍👍🔥👀😎🐈
That has to be cheaper than running a hydraulic press type crusher. Maybe even quicker as well
100%
The hinge could do with being a little lower good job though.
This thing would be useful for getting rid of all the so called classic cars. The type of cars which were never any good new and haven't improved with age
..
Wow that works really well. Good job!
That's Cool as Hell, I think Cowboy Car Crushing would Love this Crusher.
My old boss built a crusher like that but he used two hydraulic cylinders off a old grain truck he got in. It to this day works very well. Great job guys!
The crushed cars reminds me Panthermobile.... 😂
Someone needs to paint a lime green palm on the underside.
Would be interesting to see a car on its side crushed or 2 cars stacked
Very impressive, moves so fast you better be paying attention all the time to avoid a disaster.
Right!
Damn that works great and the cost vs. buying one you might saved $400.K and it's well worth lot more then buying one ! P.S. You just got another follower & i shared it to my twitter & gab followers !
Thanks Jammer! Yeah only a fraction of the cost of a factory one. So help me out I'm not cool enough to know what Gab is
Awesome
That whole thing whips around a lot... Long as I don't have to be around it, you do you Pal.
Great Car crushers mate, nice build.
In one of my past jobs i had to work with a lot of smashed glass, please make sure you guys are at least using a P2 mask to reduce the risk of Silicosis.
You guys need to put a car on it's side, propped up, so it stays perpendicular to the deck. I'd place it so the engine bay (the most structurally sound part of the vehicle) is at the opposite end to the hinge, to allow a greater amount of acceleration of the top plate, to complete compress the engine bay. You know, just to see how the HulkSMASHer does. I think it would perform just as smashingly as it did in this video.
Big props to the camera man that sat in the car at the end🙏
LOL camera yes man NO!
Congrats Tony on building the Hulksmasher to show us how it smashes cars. agree that the cars need to be higher to flat it more. cool video.
What a satisfying crush guys love.love that beast u made
"If you build it, they will come"
My dad owned Anderson Auto Wrecking in Walla Walla in the late 70's early 80's. They built one similar out of old decommisioned water locks (movable dam). They plated the faces with 1" thick steel and they filled the top (moving part) and bottom with sand. It worked so well that it was shearing the heads off V8's. One day he had a bunch of railroad track that came in, so they cut it and through it in the cars before crushing. The steel scrap / shredding company in Seattle called up and the CEO flew out to see his crusher and told him never to put railroad track in the cars again. Apparently the railroad tracks really messed up the shredding machines.
His was a little different than your design, but very similar. It would winch the top up vertically, then had big hydraulic rams that would lift the pivot point and top another 6 feet or so. When he would release the pin, the top would rotate to approximately 90 before allowing the pin side to drop as well.
Hahaha yeah the shedders don't like that big thick iron in car body's!
The first time building something almost always takes longer than you think it would.
What a great build . Looking in from Ireland 🇮🇪
That looks waaay risky, bro! …but fun!!!
I would have liked to see you stack another on top, maybe a few after too.. Add some forms and fill the end with concrete! More can't hurt, can it?
You had me at “carnage one way or another.”
LOL
The use of kinetic stored energy is a novel elegant approach. Be mindful of forces on hinge point..and safety when its up
I've worked in the salvage business for years. And I think thing is awesome!!! Does a out standing job! I'd Bee proud to have or use a piece of equipment like that. My hat off to y'all.
Thank you!
Thanks man!
She still has a bit of flex which will eventually wear out them hinges . I would just run a little more support in there. Thats just me. But awesome rig!
As a ford guy was pretty cool watching him crush that dodge !! But every car brand has their good ones and not so good ones. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
100%
Love it, especially the comments from people who probably couldn't even weld to bolts together telling you how they'd build it 👍
It is the world we live in!!!
Next to neutral drop I think this might be my second favorite channel
Thanks!
Put a car on its side! Please!
Pancaked em. Should make for easy stacking.
The hinges should be at the lowest level to get the vehicle flatter. Your way the vehicles are limited to the height of the hinges. Then I would fill the lid with cement to add more weight with the goal of seeing how flat you can make the vehicle. Right now it's not that impressive as the vehicle is still four feet tall. All you are crushing is the roof down the seat height, not that impressive. Standard is one to two feet.
Male the hinge side closer to the bottom for more clamping action. The gap caused by having the hinge so high uo doesn't help compress the front. You could actually put more hinge points on the face of the hinge block and make it sort of adjustable if needed.
If we where going to work it that could be an option but it's just a toy
Probably the cheapest crusher to operate compared to the hydraulic smashers
That last view from inside the car was crazy!!!😊
Yes it was!
What does Puny God supposed to mean?
It's a reference to a adventure adventures movie
@@HardCoreFab okee dokee.
Great job on the crusher but I think you need to put some more engine on that lift so you can get more done with it.
It's just a toy
This is the single best video on RUclips
Lol
You are a very handsome bearded man! Great job on the "Crusher". Ya'll be careful. That could hurt really bad.
At least it's "greener" than most of the alternatives . 😆 . That is pretty damn cool ! , so was the old recker thankss for including that one , that would make for a cool restoration . Great ending now I know what it's like to be squashed , at least the visual aspect of it anyway . ✌😅✌
😉 thanks Bros ❤ back atcha ! ✌
Built one of those when I was a kid using Legos and glue. It was only a foot long. We flattened bugs with it. Cycled much faster than the one in the video.
LMAO!
Someone built one out of concrete in pa in the mid 70s. It was 12' wide 30' long and the concrete was 8' thick. It would flatten a car no less than 2". It was mind blowing but people all around was complaining about it shaking their farms and homes. It was a monster. I'm going to try and find it but it was used in a 80s movie.
I'd like to see that!
If you make another side wall on the loading side that can be tipped up with the loader forks and latched after you load a car, then you will have both sides of the vehicles boxed in so they won't blow out the sides as much, keeping them more cubed and clean, it would also contain more of the flying glass and plastic !
It appears your fulcrum point is about 6" to 8" too high. It should be level with what you expect the height of the car will be when it is fully crushed or at leas the height slightly higher than the front of the crush platform, so that when it is all said and done the crushing platform is level when the car is crushed.
I think it might put too much stress on the hinges if it was lowered.
That's what she said!
😂😂😂
And what height would be best for a 77 3/4 ton ford van or a 1.5 ton grain truck...
car should also be reversly installed since hard stuff is on front and the part of the swing with higher radius comes down harder. So you could have equally flattened car.
Awsome video. Bust the side windows so glass does not blow all over
