Fun Fact: The inventor of elevator safety latches was so confident in his design that he stood in an elevator as his assistant cut the rope. The second the elevators weight wasn't pressing down on the spring locks they shot out and stopped the elevator. No one trusted elevators before that. After his demonstration, elevators started being built in basically every tall building.

Man, watching you crank that steel cable tight gave me some anxiety. My grandad ran a wrecker service for most of his life, often times pulling 18-wheelers out of ditches, so the wrecker was huge and the steel cables attached were huge. On one of his calls with multiple overturned trucks, a fellow wrecking company was helping and on one of their trucks, one of the cables snapped, whipped around and nearly cut a worker in half. He died. My grandad never fully got over it. Had nightmares about it for years. Anytime I'd go on a wrecker call with him, once they started the actual pulling, he'd have me sit in the cab, or at least get behind the truck away from the tension area to keep me safe.

I never knew you made this vid, and after watching you tension that cable and walk up and smack it im glad youre still with us. Good thing the flemish splice was done right and held, and the WLL of that single cable was enough to hold that pull. This is someone coming from working with rigging his whole life and made a career of lifting things with cranes in industrial construction, if you ever do this again, get a snap back blanket to put on the winch line and chain as you tighten the winch and then have ropes tied to them and pull them off when youre way back from the radius of the cables if they were to let go, just dont want anything to happen to you

Honestly, as seen from the cable breaking, that cable wasn't under a whole lot of tension. You have to understand that when he turns the winch off, everything relaxes and a vast majority of the tension is alleviated, as the truck didn't stay still, it slid a little bit. That's why he was still able to push the cable. On an elevator, the elevator cart is always hanging, being pulled on by gravity. To really get it under tension he'd have to be winching on the cable while shooting. Then when the cable snapped, it would go flying, just like when you pull a tree stump out of the ground with your car, the stump goes flying. He really was at no risk of injury when he inspected the cable.

Theoretically, it wasn’t on full tension. The truck was only moving that much because it was on dry dirt. You’d have to try a lot harder to sway the cable under full capacity tension where in this it swayed relatively easily using your arm. Guess you gotta do it again with the same setup, but with something holding the truck in place 🤷🏼‍♂️

@utubesignupblows

Жыл бұрын

The cable was taut, but barely under any tension at all. It WAS under some tension while the winch was running and pulling the truck (not nearly 18000lbs, but significant tension for sure). Once the winch is stopped, the truck rests in its final position, and the ONLY force acting on the cable is its own spring force, due to it being slightly stretched. There is no force pulling on it from either end. This is why he was able to move it so easily with his hand. A cable under even 2000lbs of tension (let alone 18000, LOL) cannot be moved with your hand like that, because it would mean you lifting all that weight with one hand (by moving the cable sideways, you are contracting the distance between the two ends, pulling one of them in). So this video was actually pretty safe. The most dangerous moment was winching the damaged cable.

So glad to see you try this under tension

For future videos, you can attach a pulley to the ground via buried and bent rebar. then one in a tree, that way you can hang things and shoot them easier like ropes, chains, cables, boxes (Pinatas), potatoes, maybe tires or something you want to spin for targets.

When you finally put one of these cables under full tension, you may want to up your safety game.

Judging by the sway in the cable, it definitely was not anywhere near 18k lbs of tension and most likely nowhere near the max load limit on it but it was for sure a better test than the original

its barely enough to hold the cable. which makes sense, the truck weights 18k itself, but on weels. without the breaks a human could pull that, now you need only overcome the breaks on dirt. if i had to geuss somewhere between 1000-2000 pounds but i tend more towards the lower end

Very true.

Former pilot and I was fortunate to have been around and flown in some WW2 bombers like the B-17/B-25 and the B-29. One story I kept hearing from veterans who flew them said that during the long flights many would take grease and grease up the control cables that ran from the cockpit, along the inside fuselage to for example the tail. Idea being a bullet would hit and "slide off" rather than nick it. None knew if it did helped but sitting miles up anything that MIGHT help they tried.

Gotta love the dedication

As Lunkers would say: the moral of the story is that when someone is shooting at your cable, you want it to be flaccid.

Matt: "Do you know how hard it is to put tension on stuffs?" Teachers: "Pathetic"

approaching a cable under tension after you gave it bullet damage is really smart!

Dude that truck is amazing. Keep up the videos A+

"How did that not break" It's not under full tension, it just doesn't have any slack. When it's under tension you shouldn't be able to push or move it by hand. The 5-ton sliding is just the drag of the wheels, which is a lot, but I'd imagine it's less than 3 tons. If someone wants to work out the physics problems to prove me wrong feel free to.

True it's not under full tension, you have dirt (which is going to slid fairly easy under the wheels), wheels themselves moving, the ropes and chains taking some, and that little tree would probably be cracking with that much tension if it didn't just break in half. Hanging the truck would put more tension on the cable then pulling with the winch But like he pointed out in the video vertical tension is harder to achieve in this scenario then horizontal tension.

Hey Matt you said your self at the end of the video, the friction of the tires in dirt pulling at a tree would only give a small fraction of the pull. Maybe 2k-5k, please do another video and chain the back to a large tree near the base and then hook the wench to a second tree. Then pull the sucker till she really grunts. Then you will have ur near pulling capacity. And u will actually see the cable snap back for reals. Also you had me looking away while u were standing by the half chewed up cable. Even under they tension it could harm u if it suddenly snapped. Great video and I love your work, I'm still watching old videos every day. Keep it up

As a state licensed elevator mechanic. I can tell you that if that cable was 5/8 thick. It has a strength of 23500 pounds. The only reason it didn't snap and go flying is because one of the braided strands was still rap around. The other side as you can see it unraveling in the slow-mo. That was probably one of the strands that was broken previously off to the left. I am so glad it didn't snap. Because it is extremely dangerous and will cut you and your truck. In half this one had me worried. Love your show.
