  • This is not to call out a specific company, or the people who were in the video, and no disrespect towards either is meant. This is a direct response to the massive amounts of hate and name calling that I got for saying that what was said in the video was incorrect.
    The problem is that since video La saying this were put out as training videos by multiple companies, and some were training and "certification" companies, there are a bunch of operators who adamantly believe it's correct, and refuse to open there eyes to look at simple physics to see that it's not. I got absolutely blasted for claiming the big companies were wrong, so I decided to put my money where my mouth is and buy a load cell to prove it one way or another with actual numbers. Turns out, I was right.

    There are a lot of people surprised by how little pulling force it took to stand the bus up.
    But that was expected since a bus, and especially a completely stripped one like this, has almost all of its weight concentrated below the floor. Meaning that when it’s on its side it’s basically a book standing on edge, and is therefore very easy to push over. Yes the roof structure is weight added to the far side, but that is far outweighed by the fact that the roof is essentially acting as a 10-12’ long lever helping me push that book over. Just like standing a book up vs pushing it over, it takes much more force to flip the bus than it does to upright it.

      Problem is that you measured the force in European killagrams but a Ford that old was certainly made in good old fashioned American pounds. 1 "KG" is only one thing but 1 killedgram is 2.204622622 pounds. So, 2.204622622 being a bigger number than 1, it follows logickally that you cannot measure force on an old American made truck with units made in Europe. Least ways, not with any accuracy. And since I have two college degrees and a Federal license all in a totally unrelated field, my math is bigger than your math.

      You don’t need a lick of math however to see why Casey is right here. The corners/edges of the bus that the cable is wrapping around are basically acting as a pulley/fulcrum for the rope. Which means all the forces applied to the bus are being kept internal, the rope wrapped around the bus constricting it like a snake.
      The only point that would have any impact the energy requirement, from the busses perspective, would be where the rope actually leaves the bus. Gluing a 20ft pole to the side of the bus and pulling on that would make it significantly easier.

    Neither method can provide downward force on the bus wheels. The amount the chain can pull "down" on the frame is counter acted by the "upward" force at the bottom corner of the body. All the external forces applied by the winchline are resolved at the point that the line stops touching the bus.
    I suspect the main advantage of wrapping around is that the hook is on solid structure.

      The only reason I can see for grabbing the top rail has more to do with the mechanical properties of the rail. The flat of the C in compression is the strongest versus the legs of the C in compression. Likewise pulling on the leg of the C while it’s in compression can lead to failure of the leg in buckling.
      And yes you cannot add downward force to the bus or object by pulling upward.
      The physics of it are the weight at location of cog swing the pivot point minus the pull force at the tangent to the object times the distance from the pivot point must equal zero at the instant of lift.

Pull the chain over the rim across the 6x6 and use the leverage to pull it over. Sometimes you can't get around the bus. That method uses downward force on the low side tires to roll it over. Mostly in rural areas with limited space.

    You may not be an "college educated idiot", but your experience and knowledge on a different level. Excellent job and thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great presentation. You don't have to lift the bus to flip it. It is all a matter of leverage and application of forces you exert onto an object. You never lifted the entire bus off the ground. I would say the vast majority of the weight of the bus remained on the points of contact that was still on the ground. You just applied the right amount of pulling force to motivate an action you desired. Don't need rigging to lift a 80,000LB rig, just the rigging to move an 80,000LB rig. You hit it square on the head, when information is put in print and dissimulated for instructions and capabilities, that information tends to be more conservative. Keep up the awesome content!

      My one thought on this is that by hooking to the lower frame rail you are putting the cross members, and welds/fasteners, in tension, and there is extra safety in using the top frame rail to put those members in compression. Seems like, in theory, that should be less chance of deforming the frame. In practice? You and Casey are probably right.

    First, I really like the Zacklift! When I was still truckin', a towing company near me had a very similar unit to the Zacklift, but I don't remember what the brand was. It mounted up and released the same, but it had several more cabinets on it. They towed my Shaker Classic a couple of times, and I have to admit, their towing rates by far beat all of the other HD Towing companies around! I asked them once how they could do the same work for nearly half of the price and the owner said, "I have about half of the money invested in that truck than I would have in the equivalent dedicated truck." I was SOLD on the whole idea after that and very early on after you bought the Star Car and you encouraged us to guess what you were planning I immediately said (to myself), "REMOVABLE BED!!! REMOVABLE BED!!!" I love it when great minds think alike!!!!! 🤣
    That said, the only thing I can see that they could do to improve the Zacklift is if they were able to build it as a rotator with an unpowered steerable third axle at the drives.

    Casey, as a PhD structural engineer I agreed with you fully as to attachment point. In my career as a structural engineering researcher in a university research and test lab I found plenty of manufacturers who did not really understand the basic physics of their product. The one that first comes to mind is the manufacturer of accelerometers, not to be named, who really didn't seem to understand the actual direction of gravity as it applied to an accelerometer. In this case the moment arm for the pull is defined as the distance from where the chain first touches the bus at the top to the point about which it rotates down at the tires.

      You are correct. Draw a line between the pivot point (where the tires will hit the ground) and the poll point (where the cable leaves contact with the body). For the lowest pull force, you want the cable to be at 90 degrees to that line which is the effective lever. Because the lever leans away from the wrecker, you want to lift the boom to get that best angle. In other words, Casey did it exactly right.

As seen here, the first pull to around the roof of the bus, the load cell was right above the top of the bus / high side windows. As Casey changed the rigging it slid that chain out and put the load cell further up the line to above the tires and added atleast 8 if not 10 ft of chain to the pull. I wonder if that is what added the additional 100 KG difference was keeping the chain taught vs keeping the synthetic line tight. And just how much difference it makes to have 20 ft of chain inline on a pull vs having 20 ft of synthetic line off the spool to the pull.

    You are absolutely correct saying it doesn't matter where the termination point is on the underside of the bus, that should be obvious to anyone who knows about physics! Where I disagree with you is when you said the downward force doesn't change. It does change, but only by a tiny amount and opposite to what was said by whoever. For example, you were pulling from higher than horizontal to the highest pull point, therefore a slight UPWARDS force will be created taking a tiny fraction of weight off the bus. The opposite downward force would only be true if you pulled from lower than horizontal, then, and then only, would a slight downwards force be created. Either way, the upwards or downwards force would be negligible.

    I think it is the leverage of the frame attachment point and the pivot point, in this case, the tyres on the ground side... so measure from the top / upper rail to the tyre, and it changes as the angle of the line between the rail attachment point and the contact point on the ground varies from the perpendicular (which is where gravity comes in) it is like a cam... with a bigger lobe, it takes more effort or distance for the cam follower (chain) to travel, but more 'work' can be done by the bigger cam lobe size, until it returns to the lowest height (the base circle)... I'm no expert, but intuitively, thinking in simple mechanical paradigms of levers and cams, pivot points etc, that is how I see the difference in attachment points... the load is the same (the bus weight doesn't change, but the dynamic situation does based on the lever length and the point that it overcomes gravity and lands upright, like when the cam follower goes over the peak of the lobe... the suggested method in the training also probably means the wheels don't have to be chocked or otherwise anchored separately to avoid just dragging it, instead of pivoting on the tyres... esp. on snow / ice... it is about the stability and predictability of the load, the load is constant in weight, just how it moves around when pulled, and if all the pulling force is directed into overcoming gravity and turning the vehicle over, rather than being diverted to friction dragging the vehicle along the ground, trying to follow the direction of pull...

Then you take a 3500ft yankum rope and attach it to a fully loaded 747 (freighter version) at the one end and wrap the other end all around the bus and attach it to the upper frame rail in said fashion. Then you let the 747 take off full blast from where the bus lies. Two things will happen: the bus will be blown a bit back and the rope will unwiggle some. At the point of biggest rope stretch however, the 747 will have reached a speed of approx. 220 knots, which will in turn not only turn, but spin the bus a couple of times in mid air until it (of course) will land on its tyres. The plane then applies full reverse thrust and brakes and comes to a stop before the end of the runway.
    If however you want to apply the laws and logic of physics, you’re stuck with your silly ways…

      220 knots sounds like a very tangled rope.

      Thanks man, was about to write exactly THAT. Not a mechanical engineer, but did three semesters before I quit and that's one of the most basic principles of mechanics. And with a little bit of common sense and experience from manual labor you should be able to figure that out as well.

      @legionofanon 17 дней назад +1

      Stated better than i could have said, only thing I'd add is how strong the point you secure to is (note I'm only 7:30 in lol) like the window post is basically the last fulcrum point, but if it skid and damaged the side, it might tear off, where going around to the rail keeps it secure even if the recovery line tears into the roof

  • @puddlejumper6999
    @puddlejumper6999 11 дней назад

    one thing you didnt mention and i feel should be noted is that first pull had the lowest weight due to having the least amount of rigging, only a single chain, as compared to every other test that added event more rigging 3-4 chains. now thats the only change in mass in the whole setup that can both help and hurt you. more rigging more weight. the reason the lifting load levels off for lift 3-4 is the weight of that rigging sat on the highside and assisted with lifting the lowside however negligable it may seem. ive heard the same reasons be said and its always sat wierd in my head, but i always chocked it up to if there is a stronger point to anchor then grab it as it will almost always be a safer point to grab. love the explaination and to see you pov on those statements.

  • @lukeessex7055
    @lukeessex7055 17 дней назад +2

    It makes sense that the load is the same from your load cell location.
    And I agree that it is putting the same pressure on the ground.
    I am wondering if there more load on the window frame area?
    And less load on the frame since the chain is taking more of a spread out load
    Another interesting experiment would be to place the load cell on the frame rail and see how much tension it's actually transferred to that side and placing the load cell near the window frame to see how much tension is there.
    Again not that it matters I could see connecting to the upper side frame rail instead of the Lower Side frame rail because it would put the welds on the cross members in tension when connecting to the lower.

    • @Wannes_
      @Wannes_ 17 дней назад +1

      Yeah, it's the same force required, but the issue is more wether the connection point can handle it or not
      And wether the structure where the chain is touching , can handle that
      On a fibreglass box, the chain would slice right through 🤭

    • @ScottRipley
      @ScottRipley 17 дней назад

      I agree. From the load cell and the lift's perspective, nothing changes. For the vehicle being righted, it may see a difference in how the loads are applied. The bus is not completely rigid like undergrad physics would have you believe. I'm not willing to call out the engineers on this one just yet.

  • @ozemale6t928
    @ozemale6t928 13 дней назад +1

    The only comment I'd make is that regardless of where you attach on the underside, you are not pulling anything "down" unless the chain passes through an anchor point on the ground.

  • @robertrosicki9290
    @robertrosicki9290 17 дней назад +1

    . Maximum distance from the attachment point to the pivot point will lengthen the lever requiring less pulling force to rotate the load . That is the principal that applies here. Chain wraps , clapping your hands or wearing purple pants won't change a thing . Good job Casey . Your applied logic and a keen eye for the obvious on display .

  • @RAdcock-rs7nx
    @RAdcock-rs7nx 23 часа назад

    I cannot believe that ANYONE would think it makes any difference where you terminate your pulling line. What DOES make fifference is the turning moment ie the distance from point of contact of the load on the ground to the point where the rope first meeta the vehicle body. In this case (and most cases) that is the diagonal dimension of the vehicle. Where the hook is attached makes ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE as you proved. Well done man, great vid.

  • @Worleybird67
    @Worleybird67 15 дней назад

    You are 100% correct. The second and third lifts were slightly higher because the weight of the additional chain was past your fulcrum. On the last lift, since the second chain was on the bottom of the bus, which was on the near side of the fulcrum. I bet the weight of that chain is right about 10kg.

  • @ernestbrothers1298
    @ernestbrothers1298 17 дней назад +1

    So how much of that ton of force is trying to collapse the bus versus lifting?
    Interesting on highest hook it lowered. Most force be when inertia hits mid point in lift.

  • @AlAmantea
    @AlAmantea 15 дней назад

    1 Kg is equal to 2.2 lbs, so 100Kg is only 220 lbs. That is only a 10% difference in the load, which is basically nothing. I 100% agree with you about the fulcrum and the initial point of contact, creating the angle of the lift, matters way more than the final attachment point. ANY attachment point that creates that diagonal line between the tires and the initial point of contact is going to give you the same load. I was always taught to try and create a 90 degree angle between the tires on the lower side, the boom, and that initial point of contact. Geometry is your friend as much as physics is.
    I haven't been on a truck since I was a younger man, but the knowledge is still there.
