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.

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.

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.

Wow that works really well. Good job!

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 😁

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!

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!

@cornnatron3030

2 жыл бұрын

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.

@georgerenton965

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.

@ryanstone8209

2 жыл бұрын

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.

Like any project you figure things out as you go. Like your hydraulics, perfect for testing. Late maybe upgrade to bigger motor and pump. If you wanted to make it mobile, put hinges on the struts and tower. Could use the winch to erect it at the new sight. Best of luck with it all.
