Imagine a box weighing almost 2000 kilos coming down a hill at you. Oh nevermind, it's just a car. You just have to trust that the person gets it stopped or not run over you.
I've probably bought 1015lbs or more of "groceries" before, but this was for a business, with a U boat cart. Even then, I pretty much ran out of space.
Even small tires are insanely dangerous. My buddy was trying to air up the tires on his 2 wheel cart and didn't know the rim was a 2 piece rim and it was a shitty chinese made one too. It blew out and a piece of the rim nearly took his leg off. A small piece of muscle was the only thing holding it on. I can't even imagine the damage a large tractor tire could do
The warning for the kids is not because of the weight - the centre of the mass is too high and it can go outside of the wheels compromising the stability of the cart.
You do know it only held 1350 lbs? 1 ton=2000 lbs. I think you thought that 1 ton= 1000 lbs. You can make fun of Americans if you want but you're uneducated.
+SonOfAKing When did he say it's a ton, what time? Because I didn't hear it...and yeah, a generalization of our entire populace is always smart. We all are overweight here. I guess every person where you are from don't know that 1 ton=2000lbs. Do they not have 3rd grade where you live?
+Wiktor Wardhoff how is 1350 lbs being rounded UP to 2000 lbs? And I didn't provoke an argument, he said we are all fat so I told him why he is dumb. I'm not fat, and he generalized my people, why is it bad for me to generalize his people to show the error of his way? I'm reciprocating his dumb remarks. Rounding off only happens when close to a half way point of something, 1350 is nowhere near 2000 pounds in this frame of measurement. If it was 1700 or 1800, sure. But he is personally too stupid to know that 2000 lbs is a ton, when trying to talk shit on Americans.
+Taylor Jones I get u partly, Cuz americans dont weigh that much, and is not the fattest country. But u dont know where he lives there therefore u cant say anything about his country. All beside this it was only a joke, dont u think he knows americans can just be as small as anybody else. He just happend to say this because americans suffer from obesity and to piss someone off.
Searched and came across this video because I filled a Walmart shopping cart with somewhere between 600-800 pounds worth of truck brake rotors and had one of our mechanics help me push it to the other side of the shop. It dropped off about a 2 inch drop from the shop floor to the concrete outside and dipped so low to the ground. I couldn't believe it was actually still in one piece and how well those springs kept up lol
Those supermarkets lied to me about not being able to ride in the shopping carts JUST BECAUSE I'M IN MY TWENTIES DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T RIDE IN THE SHOPPING CARTS AND THEY HAVE THE GALL TO BAN ME FROM THE STORE, EVEN THOUGH I PAID FOR ALL THAT BEER
Enjoyed this! What this exercise really says to me is what magnificent material steel is, and how amazingly strong weld joints are. And grocery stores need, in litigation anxious American corporate world, is a warning to not put more than 1,000 lbs of bananas in your shopping cart!
No its a permanent magnet. I've got a much smaller version. Its just a strong ass magnet inside of a steel case the lever on the side moves the magnet away from the griping side of the case so what ever is stuck to it will fall of it.
Odd that your carts have caster wheels on all four corners. Ours only have them on the front, the rear wheels are fixed. Perhaps ours are stronger? Weaker? I wouldn't mind seeing you test one but shipping them is a bitch.
superdau I have worked with carts that had four casters and they were a royal pain in the ass...and wrists...to manhandle around. They went wherever the fuck they wanted to go and cared not for where I wanted them to go.
Yeah, all 4 wheels being casters would be a huge pain in the ass to move. That shit would be moving sideways...reminds me of the large material carts at Home Depot.
I worked at a small shop near Detroit, and we used to use shopping carts filled with dangerous amounts of steel. Nothing bad ever happened. Of course, we didn't have all the Safety Sallys like we do nowadays.
I love these videos, incredibly interesting and there's always at least one thing that has me giggling away to myself... I hope someone finds you and gives you your own tv program! I'd definitely watch, and just as I have your RUclips channel, Id share it with everyone I knew 👌 great work keep it up!
Calais shopping booze trip for my mate as he was going off to join up , back in the 1980's, every one of the trolleys was full and bending we had that much booze we had to use a metal breaker bar to roll the arches on the van so the wheels wouldn't rub mental days indeed.
I used to work in the tire/lube shop at Walmart. We used a shopping cart to store dead car batteries, piling them up way over the top. One cart lasted for longer than I was employed there.
Years ago when I worked in retail, it only took the weight of one grown-ass man-child riding on the cart to break the wheels. We had to replace them constantly. Wish we could have forced the customers to pay the repair cost.
I think Ikea has carts around that size. Our general chain shopping carts are noticeably larger though. I wonder if that would make them more or less prone to collapsing? More material, yes, but the load bearing parts of the cart would be further apart....So perhaps it would bow through the wire frame more easily? EDIT: Oh, for clarification. Canadian here. I would imagine that USA carts are similarly larger than the one in the video as well.
Looks like it held up fine when the weight was over the attachment point between the basket and the undercarriage. Once he added weight to the front, the metal just bent due to simple lever physics. Still, was entertaining to watch, I didn't expect it to hold nearly that much.
The basket part of those are incredibly strong. I once saw someone try to crush one with a steam roller (an actual coal burning steam powered one). It actually lifted the whole roller up and they had to stop to avoid tipping over. Besides a little damage to the undercarriage, the shopping cart was unscathed.
Just about 1000 beer cans - now that's a good reference!
that guy has his priorities straight :D
Or 500 cans an a good load of bbq food
Beer doesn't taste good though
Tony Loo WHAT?! :D
+mixlllllll Idiot.
The shopping cart is very dangerous and may attack at any time
vee must deal witt it.
His press may not be big enough to "deal with it", but he was still able to crush it with all those weights.
vot zee fok
Yeah, I seen one chasing my neighbor down the street the other day :-)
How much weight can a ladder take before it breaks? With how many people can you stand on it safely?
Good idea! I will do this when I have the time for it.
+Beyond the press can you crush Disco ball?
+Beyond the press sorry for wrong channel
along the same idea: how much can automotive jack stands or different jacks actually hold?
ladders are typically rated at one third of their max limit. I'm very interested to see if that holds true!
imagine a cart weighing almost 400 kilos coming down a hill at you
Wouldn't want that to crash into my car
saw a similir scenario at liveleak
I'd give it a side.
Imagine a box weighing almost 2000 kilos coming down a hill at you. Oh nevermind, it's just a car. You just have to trust that the person gets it stopped or not run over you.
+jaky3 Holy shit that would be a heavy car. Isn't that like 2 tons?
2:50 You must have some good shopping carts in Finland, here in America you can barely push an empty one!
😂😂
not only finland, whole europe
Most Shoppingcarts in europe are made in Germany. And german shopping carts are like german tanks.
You know the Germans make good stuff. --Vince
What I don't like about US shopping carts is that they don't have rear steering.
I'm planning on buying 1015 lbs worth of groceries. Do you think I should use two carts to play it safe?
that would be some mountain of shopping to balance in one cart
Are you planning on feeding the mountain or something?
Oi. He eats Skyr only.
no Mr sharp an American
I've probably bought 1015lbs or more of "groceries" before, but this was for a business, with a U boat cart. Even then, I pretty much ran out of space.
Another consumer advice I wonder about: how much air can you put in a car/motorcycle/bicycle/tractortire before it explodes?
Ooh, I wanna see a huge ass tractor tire explode!
+FizzlNet it is dangerous as fuck being nearby an exploding tire can easily kill you.
pikkuhakki2
so we must deal with it
Even small tires are insanely dangerous. My buddy was trying to air up the tires on his 2 wheel cart and didn't know the rim was a 2 piece rim and it was a shitty chinese made one too. It blew out and a piece of the rim nearly took his leg off. A small piece of muscle was the only thing holding it on. I can't even imagine the damage a large tractor tire could do
EspenJ I concur. Do you concur?
I am going to call my groceries "shoppings" now. :D
Heavy ass shit.................xD
i like ass shit
J. J I am ass shit
I know, right? Love the casual way he says it xD
haha that was cool. Now we all know the limit and we can do maximum shopping. 😃😃
can you do torch it down-egg
+Phileo_Leo lol how you know I am torch guy?
and I already torched down egg. both raw and boil one. 😊
+What Will Happen If? I need da link tho
Phileo_Leo I don't know If I send the link here it goes to spam or not but I am going to try it in next comment.
+What Will Happen If? allright
He bought an iron supplement at the supermarket?
yes
He bought it on a heavy discount. It was a complete steel!
Gavin Clark You're quite correct it's not a pun. It's actually *two* puns.
+Gameboygenius I zinc that that pun was pretty good!
+ossi_ No.
3:08 thöör, thöörtihandret thöörti
HPC and BTP are easily my two favorite channels on RUclips. Thank you Lauri and Anni 😃
The warning for the kids is not because of the weight - the centre of the mass is too high and it can go outside of the wheels compromising the stability of the cart.
Good point! You could probably hang a counter weight under the cart to make it stable. 😀
So with two kids it should be ok ;D
Or toss a few 94 lb bags of Portland cement on the lower shelf (American carts).
Why not a couple of beer packs, 48 cans, 0,33 liters per can that equals aprox 16 liters and that is about 35 lb.....umm..need more beer.
+Ashton B Home Depot or lowes.
Sweden wants their shopping cart back
+The Melon Addict or he stole it
+Kommentoija Suomesta or you could read the desc...
Poncho likes bacon but it didn't rape anybody
people says the supermarket in sweden still want the shopping cart back
5 views. First, I wanted to thanks my family who supported me all the way. :'(

ROFLMAO
1 ton? So it could hold two average size americans then?
(slowly backs away)
You do know it only held 1350 lbs? 1 ton=2000 lbs. I think you thought that 1 ton= 1000 lbs. You can make fun of Americans if you want but you're uneducated.
Well he said it was 1ton. Either way doesn't change the fact you americans weigh alot. ^_^
+SonOfAKing When did he say it's a ton, what time? Because I didn't hear it...and yeah, a generalization of our entire populace is always smart. We all are overweight here. I guess every person where you are from don't know that 1 ton=2000lbs. Do they not have 3rd grade where you live?

"that is bullshit or you have quite fat children" hahaha well in Mississippi the kids are...
So its very safe for a human to ride in it!. Thanks :D
Most humans, anyway.
Dadycoool Humans capable of walking under their own weight to be precise.
People have killed themselves that way. Mostly drunk people.
It still can not hold a average American though
it's getting more interesting!
I love your idea of crushing things
in the name of science and fun!!
I like that you translate for the Americans.
thank you for giving us that measurement in beer cans :D
Now I know how many cans of beer I can go buy without breaking the cart
Searched and came across this video because I filled a Walmart shopping cart with somewhere between 600-800 pounds worth of truck brake rotors and had one of our mechanics help me push it to the other side of the shop.

Ah...of all the people on RUclips, you are the ones I would like most to get drunk with. Although I suspect I may die.
lazaglider they don't drink
Those supermarkets lied to me about not being able to ride in the shopping carts
JUST BECAUSE I'M IN MY TWENTIES DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T RIDE IN THE SHOPPING CARTS
AND THEY HAVE THE GALL TO BAN ME FROM THE STORE, EVEN THOUGH I PAID FOR ALL THAT BEER
we didn't stole those from the supermarket. I bought them from local junkyard.
kek:D
*****
ye they buy it for 1/2/5 of local currency :D
What is kek?
Enjoyed this! What this exercise really says to me is what magnificent material steel is, and how amazingly strong weld joints are. And grocery stores need, in litigation anxious American corporate world, is a warning to not put more than 1,000 lbs of bananas in your shopping cart!
Answering life's most important questions. 😍
Your channel is very entertaining and fun, you English is very good also , thanks for making these videos...signed ......America.....................
someone explain that magnet.
It's not electric magnet. There is just very large neodymium magnets inside of that you can turn close and away from bottom part of casing.
legend
It's not electric
No its a permanent magnet. I've got a much smaller version. Its just a strong ass magnet inside of a steel case the lever on the side moves the magnet away from the griping side of the case so what ever is stuck to it will fall of it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_base
This was great. Let's do a collision test next, see what impact speeds it can handle before being crushed like a can
So, it can hold most children, but not Honey Boo Boo?
***** XD
it can hold my profile picture
awesome metal music to go with the heavy metals in the video!!!! the kart crushing was also awesome!
Odd that your carts have caster wheels on all four corners. Ours only have them on the front, the rear wheels are fixed.
Perhaps ours are stronger? Weaker? I wouldn't mind seeing you test one but shipping them is a bitch.
Fixed rear wheel carts are so annoying to "drive". Maybe that's why.
superdau
I have worked with carts that had four casters and they were a royal pain in the ass...and wrists...to manhandle around. They went wherever the fuck they wanted to go and cared not for where I wanted them to go.
Yeah, all 4 wheels being casters would be a huge pain in the ass to move. That shit would be moving sideways...reminds me of the large material carts at Home Depot.
This is why the Finnish are so good at rallying because they have plenty of practice mastering the art of shopping trolley drifting first!
I always drift shopping carts but try 'drifting' when all 4 wheels turn in any direction.
"That is bullshit or you have quite fat children." Absolute gold right there.
Song at the end is elevator music in Scandinavia
This channel answers all sorts of questions I thought I was stupid for thinking..... 8/8
I love this! Usefull consumer advice! Cheers from Norway!
You must be good at claw machines! XD
I keep discovering these old videos with such great content! So many things I want to know about and didn't even realize!
straight out of ikea
I worked at a small shop near Detroit, and we used to use shopping carts filled with dangerous amounts of steel. Nothing bad ever happened. Of course, we didn't have all the Safety Sallys like we do nowadays.
I grantee American shopping carts are much more durable.
I found them quite variable. Most of them were indeed very durable, but some are PLASTIC! (or were in 2004)
Seems about right given how much they eat :-)
Of course they are, they have to carry all the fat white kids
+Yaseen Ginnab or fat black kids you racist.
American carts are probably a lot bigger.
when you said about fat kids I sprayed beer over my tablet 😂😂
if it's MURRICA kids, I won't be surprise that their weight can break one just by sitting in one
***** hello Diabeto, you don't need to be so salty about your body. Now roll back into the kitchen Diabeto.
your electric hoist at the 5:44 mark sounds just like the aliens in the battleship movie LOL
His voice doesnt match how he looks lol
hiro lol xD because his accent is Finnish
Yeah, he looks Finnish and sounds Finnish.
Your comment doesn't match how your picture looks
I always thought he had his equipment in a laboratory or something but he's just on his fucking garage crushing stuff, I love it
That is one tough cart! Thanks for the video.
I don't feel so bad about sitting in the cart now... :)
Your videos are jokes and educational same time lol. Thank you for uploading them.
Great test, thanks for executing this. strong trolley.
It sounds so lovely when she speaks Finnish.
It's a good thing I watched this video before I went shopping.
A cart from wal-mart couldn't even handle 200 pounds. Thats a damn good grocery getter.
+bOMEROPAGNIs They tried sitting in it.
ha bitsh LOL
Man, I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
Loved this one. Great job!!!
I imagine you stealing the shopping cart at the store xD
That was a nice f*ckin' shoppin' cart there, boys!
The humble shopping cart... A marvel of engineering.
WHAT I've been watching the press channel forever and JUST NOW I found this other channel! SWEET!!!
I love these videos, incredibly interesting and there's always at least one thing that has me giggling away to myself... I hope someone finds you and gives you your own tv program! I'd definitely watch, and just as I have your RUclips channel, Id share it with everyone I knew 👌 great work keep it up!
"IT'S A DANCING SHOPPING BASKET!"
They hold 12 cases of beer or one American toddler!
"That is bullshit.... or you have quite fat children!" I swear I cam THIS || close to wetting myself I was laughing so GD hard there!
5:49 - When you put too match candy in the cart and it refuses to give you diabetes.
Finally.. The legend behind "welcome to the hydrolic press channel"
Quite surprised!!! Thanks for the experiment!!!
Calais shopping booze trip for my mate as he was going off to join up , back in the 1980's, every one of the trolleys was full and bending we had that much booze we had to use a metal breaker bar to roll the arches on the van so the wheels wouldn't rub mental days indeed.
thats it both of my kids are going in the cart next time. I'll use a basket for the shopping, much easier.
I used to work in the tire/lube shop at Walmart. We used a shopping cart to store dead car batteries, piling them up way over the top. One cart lasted for longer than I was employed there.
That says something about the frequency (or lack of frequency) of Walmart’s battery disposal habits. Not surprising, though.
I once transported 12 concrete paving tiles (I think they were around 35x35x5cm) with a shopping cart, and it was no problem.
We are going to load "heavy ass shit" inside the cart and see when it breaks. Muahaha! Let the gladiatorial shopping cart fight begin!
Years ago when I worked in retail, it only took the weight of one grown-ass man-child riding on the cart to break the wheels. We had to replace them constantly. Wish we could have forced the customers to pay the repair cost.

This was great! Do more things like this!
The swivel is in the back. This makes so much sense.
I like the beer can conversion.
You should bring this to the cart park. The shopkeeper could be surprised. :D
Heavy ass shit LMAO
You know, I can't see myself needing 610 kg of groceries but you never know.
How much beer? Hahahaha. Awesome video. :D
Talk about the fallout shopping cart 😂😂
Looks like it held up fine when the weight was over the attachment point between the basket and the undercarriage. Once he added weight to the front, the metal just bent due to simple lever physics. Still, was entertaining to watch, I didn't expect it to hold nearly that much.
Definitely not your average shopping cart. Looks like he found the most weird and aesthetic one he could find.
I've never wondered actually. But I am intrigued now!
Hahaha "those who say your children can't climb on your cart, that's bullshit, or you have quite fat children" HAHAHAHA 👏👏😂😂😂
Thank you for knowing how to convert your KG to LBS, helps some of your American audience
Whoever welded that cart needs a raise it may have been a robot idk
The basket part of those are incredibly strong. I once saw someone try to crush one with a steam roller (an actual coal burning steam powered one). It actually lifted the whole roller up and they had to stop to avoid tipping over. Besides a little damage to the undercarriage, the shopping cart was unscathed.
Shopping carts in the USA seem to be much sturdier in design, however I have seen one that obviously was overloaded and bent the base, still in use.
I LOVE this music. you guys are great
Y'all are too much fun!
I love your T-Shirt buddy
Greatings from Berlin
Great stuff, tested to destruction, thanks for posting.
exactly what shopping trolley I expected him to have
That was way more than I thought it would hold. I was anticipating around 500 pounds.
He must be excellent at claw machine games.
this should be an advertisement for shopping carts
