Is It Possible To Roll A Sherp? Sherp Pro vs Sherp N

We were recently doing some testing on the new model Sherp N and comparing it to the Sherp Pro when things got interesting. This is the first video, the next video will have much more detail on the Sherp N. This was a trained Sherp driver on a controlled course with spotters, please do not attempt steep hill climbs in your Sherp

[@richardrisserjr]

The rear tires were underinflated for that climb (even for the low air pressure in Sherp tires). As the ascent steepened, the weight transitioned toward the rear of the Sherp, it caused the rear tires to compress too much, moving the center of balance far enough back for it to lose balance. Had the rear tires had more air pressure it would not have flipped back.

[@JamesBalazs]

I cringed so hard when they started walking towards it, then a large sigh of relief when it snapped *without* anyone pulling on it. "Hey guys go and get killed by that obviously not load rated, shabby old rope"

[@howierobbery]

as a fishermen, u know to never play with a rope hauling that much pressure , if it breaks or comes off quickly it could wipe your head right off

[@clayboist]

I cannot believe that didn't go all the way over! Seriously!!! How did it stay on its back?!

[@tubularap]

Besides the roll-cage it must have been the low center of gravity in the Sherp's design.

[@something_stronger]

I think if rear tires had more inflation, second sherp could have climbed rock. Definitely a marvel in engineering. Thank you for sharing.

[@aserta]

If they brace the top with an X brace, it's likely that the shift won't happen anymore, but then again, exocages are expendable materials. My off road farm truck has an exocage for the parts of property that can't be crossed without one, and we basically welded pads over it. Whenever we roll the truck, they break apart or bend and we put them back on, or other pieces. That jabble aside, i think the reason the primo Sherp didn't roll is because most of the weight is in the drive train, it's kinda like that paper cylinder with a coin glued to it that climbs an angle because the weight of the coin pulls the paper circle down.

[@ostacruiser]

Totally agree

[@rider_ringz5381]

You would think the sherp would care a little while being on its back but clearly it doesn’t mind

[@wmden1]

As others have stated, the low rear tires didn't help, but goosing the throttle, while climbing, instead of a low gear and light, even throttle, as the first driver used, was his biggest mistake.

[@Digalog]

I guess somebody was glad they didn't listen and did not pull the rope x)

Literally people die in situations like this. It's all over this site that you're on if you look for it. Get some longer recovery straps/bubba ropes and soft shackles.

[@ostacruiser]

@@farlesbarkley1022 People die when a vehicle is completely buried in mud and the extraction vehicle takes an insane run loading the recovery gear with tens of thousands of pounds of force, this was far from the case here. I will be first to admit that we did not have proper recovery gear on this demo run, we made due with what we had on hand and everything worked great, the cheap rope we tied at one end was the perfect fuse to make sure no crazy loads we applied to either machine. I have seen some crazy stuff in off-road recovery in the last 20 years for sure lol

[@EM-vd6wi]

It looked like he braked hard which caused the vehicle to pitch instead of the rear wheels to roll which would've quickly brought the front end down, the tire being crumbled also likely added added to the pitching angle. Had he not used the brakes, it would've just rolled back and the vehicle would've pitched down. I could be wrong, it's not completely wrong because braking does make the front end drop down in most cases, however not when a vehicle is moving that slowly.

[@jimmywooten8525]

That's actually pretty impressive when it rolled backwards that it did not go all the way on its top!! 😳👌

@@ostacruiser sure. I can see with monocoque the design that it would. I suppose I think more of how repair able it is. Even for the extra weight and slightly less stability, the full cage is the way to go.

Skid steer controls. Hit 'er backwards real quick. Everybody's a critic, eh?

[@ВоваВова-ь3ч]

Старый шерп получше будет, дуги безопасности есть и дизайн получше у него, чем у нового. Водитель перевернутого шерпа поехал в гору со спущенными задними и накаченными передними колесами, интересно чего он ждал ???? Тем более еще остановился в максимальной точке перегиба. Ясное дело что перевернется. А если бы перевернулся желтый шерп. по повреждения могли бы быть критическими, дуг безопасности у него нет.

Wouldnt putting more air in raise its Center of Gravity too much?

@@ostacruiser mistakes are not bad if you learn something from it :)

[@osmokv]

@slugg The wheels all share the tire pressure (it's combined from inside), so when weight is mostly on back tires, they will be more flat as the air is pushed towards front tires with less load.

[@brickswisher7672]

The tires looked to be more aired down than the first one. Even as the first sherp's front tires lifted a bit, the rears didnt sag as much. Once the rear end dipped, it rolled back.
