What you can't see is the hours of preparation and the manipulation of heavy equipment and tooling just for a few seconds of pushing/pulling. It's been a few decades for me but I hated the medium duty trucks. Especially Volvo. Their frames always diamond even with a minor crash. I've had to replace every cross member in a few Volvo medium duty. Once the ends of the X members roll just a little. There's no getting them back. Good work there. We all know that Bob does all the heavy lifting.

Chains in this case are needed for positive torque and force transfer, i.e. force and twist where you want it almost like "on the very spot" The straps would do the reverse and spread out the force and torque elastically left/right and laterally which is exactly why they are best for wreckers - avoid damage or if already wrecked avoid more damage by not concentrating force and pinching, bending or rotating particularly unibodies. But the principles work on either one. Concentrate (chain) the force pinpoint to get the rotation or stretch you want very precise in the frame shop, soft touch with straps on the wrecker to avoid damage until Bendon can work his magic on it. Great video, great fun, tremendous skill and very entertaining!

Anything is repairable with enough labor hours, except for structurally unsound rust in the frame, that would require new rails and cross members.

Chains. Hmmm ... Noticed the heavy wrecker peoples use chains very rarely. Have you considered implementing straps? Seems they would spread the load onto the frame.

2:20 Now thats an EXCESSIVE AMOUNT of holes in that frame. How can they not weaken the frames strength. I mean i can see several holes being pre-punched to make up-fitters job a lil easier. But thats just crazy nuts. Just make the frame Izuzu, the up-fitters will do their thing and put all the holes in it anyways while heating, welding & bending things into place for their fitment of the accessories they put on. 🤔👍🏻👌🏻😎🤷🏻♂️🤦♂️💪🏻
@Total_Egal11 ай бұрын
because real engeneering is done with math and not by feeling you just have to have enough thickness, material strength and beam height, deepness of that c channel and enough H frame connections in the frame to reach your designgoals you wanted. even with holes or larger sections cutted away^^ its clear not a frame for a heavy duty offroad dumptruck to work in mining industrie^^. its clearly a ligrt duty verry versatile frame to fit a large ammount of different applications probably all arround the world there are lot of countries you cant just put new hole in a frame where you want without a lot of hassle and new lizensing or something. with this frame the factory did it for you all you need is bolt your stuff on or move your toolboy back a few holes if you need addtional space for your def tank or somnething.

Shop rate for frame ranges $100 to 200$ hourly. Type of damage: sway 12hrs, twist 12hrs, sag 12hrs, diamond 18hrs, buckles 4hrs each. Rolled rail 4hrs each, alignment 6.5hrs. Repair like replace crossmember and suspension components is by the book. This is just basic info to understand this.
