Clever machine. Thanks for posting.
Bought this and it is everything they say it is, really awesome, effortlessly manage very large boulders. Very well made, actually haven’t seen this kind of quality in a piece of equipment in a very long time. I added the tractor bracket to make transport easier for longer weightier hauls. Really love the fact that it is multiple tools in one.
Looks like a great hand tool for clearing land.
Those two forks used for lifting should be replaced with a couple old leaf springs. The springs would easily fit under tight spaces without binding as much and the further you can get them under the more leverage and balance you have. Even thinner springs should easily bear the weight..
Also you might consider larger diameter tires to make pushing easier.
I really like the counterbalance idea so you keep your body weight for traction.
I have used a wheelbarrow type cart with two large wheels on it. It will hold up to 500 pounds. Tip on side or front and two people can lift up cart, then wheel away.
I use the front lip of my conventional steel t5raty wheelbarrow to move garbage cans and other big, heavy loads without lifting them in the tray.
I tilt the wheelbarrow vertically, then push the load into the front of the wheelbarrow. If need be, a rope or two can be tied around the load to hold it in place.
Then, simply push the wheelbarrow handles down, which lifts the load so it can be moved on the wheel.
A little practice will reveal the utility of this method.
This video shows what can no doubt be useful to some contractors, but I don't see a use for it as a homeowner.
Gonna make me one of those....with few modifications
Nice invention. Short legs on top of the clamp might give it a better grip when inverted.
What I find interesting is how long those rocks have been stuck after the ice wall planted them and now there being moved.... I'm guessing 25,000 years ago???
Just an odd thought that all ways fascinates me like seeing the huge cliffs that have been cut for roads to pass thur and you can see the history various colors and types of stone that make up the hill that got cut thur of our world going back millions of years
Good luck moving those
Hi Dani,
Let me know what you have in mind for improvements. Anything we can do to make WHaTS even better is good!
I want one! Moving an average of 6 tons a week by hand truck. Shopping now.
The equipment weighs more than the rock. By the time you lug it around the property, you’ll be strong enough to toss those rocks like a MLB pitcher. Just Kidding. Nice invention!
You need to angle the last foot or so at a slightly upward angle.would help.Maybe 20 deg.
+TheDavenator7 The pry bar tips are slightly angled to help hold loads, but angling too much would require that the WHaTS frame be tipped up beyond vertical when starting a pry, making levering more difficult. The clamp works great because it locks itself down and can hold rocks that extend well beyond the ends of the pry bars. If the pry bars are too long you get less lift.
Good invention
Who came up with that horrible brand name and the accronym?
Clever machine. Thanks for posting.
