The safety factor on lifting straps is impressive, and when they do break it's a lot safer than having a chain or cable let go. I've seen chain links almost completely straighten and fly over 100 metres, and that was just with an old 935 Versatile pulling trees, God only knows what two D11's would do to a chain :P

[@thejacksonbrothers]

We find the slings are so much easier to use and often use them instead of d shackles because they don’t go flying if something happens👍😁

[@JD940]

Once the got a small tear tough they shud be changed.. specially for LIFT jobs

[@artgibbssportsbusinesspodc7147]

100 meters is scary. Thank you

[@MATTFL380]

We had a cable go when we were pulling our brand new 8RX 410 which had bogged down on the disc, the bang was astounding! So was the damage to the back of the Axion 960. The guy who owns the farm (he is an investment banker in London) asked if we needed a new Axion! We told him No just a rear window, a tail light an led work light and a clean pair of pants for me. Closest I’ve been to a very serious accident for sure, and I rolled a tractor on to its side once.

[@crandonborth]

I would bet that D11 could pull a 935 in half

[@JBidensucks]

The cost of owning TWO D11 dozers alone makes this video impressive

[@bigtreelittletree]

Lmao

[@infesting]

25 grand each in the condition. Thats not impressive.

[@mister7596]

@@infesting these were 250k each used bud how much is ur d11?

[@Scoondog]

25g apiece what are u talking about and there in great shape the typical wear u get

[@pisek7499]

They're both D11N, still 100k used in decent condition, you can get one for 25k but it'll be in pieces or burnt down. Those prices are from current iron planet listings.

[@jifi-0178]

I've never seen a sling fail that way. Once a strand or two broke, it was wild to see how the rest took off. Nice science experiment, Matt and your Mastermind assistant. 🙂

[@superbad13744]

Last time I've seen that much tension it was thnaksgiving with the family.

[@ryanolive6782]

I’m from America and this video makes me love Australia more than I already did! Badass mate!

[@user-jr8lf6pl2m]

In slow video playback mode, it can be seen that the belts were broken at the point of contact with the metal canine. That is, the straps simply cut themselves on the harder material of the canine. If you make a semicircular spacer from wood, it is possible that three belts would withstand the traction force. In any case, it can be seen that the straps are very strong.

[@coreydavis5552]

Well done Mat and thanks for filming that test. Been earthmoving longer than I want to admit and being old school always use chains, but since watching your videos I have been thinking about slings to do recovering then you uploaded this video. It’s a no brainer now and a lot safer as well and no stretching chains.

[@pl5bnsf]

Glad you gave some shout out to the wood. It always amazes me how strong wood is. It can hold up very heavy loads.

[@deanriley5690]

Not often you get to play with d11s outside of a mine. Love the video, would love to see them with wire rope.

[@alwilliams8882]

Daddy buys two D11s to keep the boys from fighting. Awwww...

[@SgtHenick]

I was a recovery specialist and a mechanic in the United States army, I drove a Hemet wrecker... What you guys are doing here is very intelligent being able to break test your gear like this. We do a lot of farming here in Arkansas with some friends, it would be really cool to get down to an Australian farm and see how you guys do it too. Mainly corn soybeans rice and cotton here.

[@craigmandall9420]

I use those straps quite regularly and it's great to see how much they can handle. Very reassuring to know in case i make an error one day

[@thejacksonbrothers]

That’s what we are here for😂😂👍

[@chippyjohn1]

Pretty impressive the amount of strength those straps have. As you mentioned, the weight compared to a chain.

[@randallmidgley7589]

Looking back I realized just how lucky I have been, we always used chains, and yes seen what can happen, these straps are impressive. I like the grousers extension worked👌🇭🇲😎

[@GoldsConcrete]

This is the quality content we need ! We should try this with our equipment

[@brucelonsdale8422]

We used to use 2 0r 3 ton slings to stand 1.2 ton power poles, amazing vid thanks team Jackson.

[@schlenbea]

Boy do I love the sound of two D11's spooling up. Great vid!

[@rsmith8646]

Love seeing the D11s!

[@navaho5430]

More of this, the power of the D11 is some thing else thank Matt cheers.

[@johnwood702]

Today’s Showtime with the Jackson Brothers. 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

[@norcalray7182]

I love science. Awesome as always guys. Rock on!!!

[@toddr.4630]

You guys ROCK ✌️, much appreciated ✌️❤️

[@hillrambler2007]

I am impressed that you have 2 D11's.

[@traviseggl3794]

It would be interesting to see what would break first on a receiver hitch. The pin that holds the hitch in, or the ball. Two D11s would be ideal to test that out.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Funny you should say that, been thinking that myself😂

[@angusbauman7887]

I've pulled the hitch apart. The right angle welded to the tongue separated.

[@eddieshirely1462]

You can get those heavy duty solid inserts. In the standard 2" and for the newer trucks with the bigger factory hitches that are 2 1/2" and 3" i think those take up to a 20k ball

[@haventthoughtofanameyet6364]

Easier to test it with something not based on traction, like hydraulics

[@JDIZZY024]

Got my f150 stuck in the mud to the front Axle, used the ball mounted to the hitch and definitely broke the 2 inch ball, but nothing was done to the hitch 😂

[@jimmycruickshank6910]

Just another bloody good video Matt..keep em coming mate.. enjoyable.

[@Wildlandfirefighting]

A D11 just sounds so awesome under load, thanks for the video.

[@evldvl1]

The elderly gentleman to me looked to have a wealth of knowledge and also a humble man with a wealth of character. Sadly these fine Australians are dying out, never to return.

[@nickmeier9356]

No, there’s still a few being made !

[@fisherjayse9863]

Excellent education Matt, Sunny lifting will be getting my order now for straps for the front end loader

[@zeblockwood7953]

You guys are awesome, your channel is awesome!

[@pnwRC.]

WOWZERS! I thought for sure the 4 was going to snap. AWESOME experiment, in the name of science!

[@irishlad8797]

The two D11s are super impressive monsters Great video iv worked with machinery and love the smell of diesel all my life Take care guys from Ireland

[@x4x4offroad87]

Love the video I love watching those earthmovers mainly because I work on them everyday keep up the videos guys

[@tomrose6292]

I do structural steel assembly, sometimes we use a sling like those when the crane boom is picking up enough static electricity from the air to shock us guys doing assembly.the sling in the hook serves as a insulator .and handles the load well ,very versatile rigging indeed Load softeners are a must in most situations.the only fault of a sling is the do cut easier than steel

[@roberthiggins6401]

That was very interesting and jolly good fun! Just looking at them, you'd never think they'd pull the amount of weight they do especially when they're so light.

[@einfelder8262]

Someone may have already mentioned that the remaining 3 straps had already been stretched, especially when down to 4. So 3 new straps might well have held. Pretty good value product, though, when you compare to what we 4WD people have to pay for a similar length strap :) Definitely there is a 4WD tax, haha.

[@jonbruce536]

Great content! Thanks for doing this.

[@ukasz6837]

nikt nie potrzebował ale każdy chciał zobaczyć, thanks Greetings from Poland

[@fireball0971]

Great video thanks for posting !

[@UCs6ktlulE5BEeb3vBBOu6DQ]

You guys are about the straps while I'm: «duuuude ! people can own these D11s !? look how massive it is ! The engine is barely making any noise and it pulls 120 tons !»

[@duggydo]

I saw a few of those 140 ton straps break in my day at mines. Saw even bigger straps break too. First time was when a haul truck got bogged in mud and two other loaded trucks were pulling on it. Next time was when a P&H 4100 electric shovel sank about 7 feet in muddy ground. We had 2 D11’s and 6 loaded haul trucks pulling on it. Took 3 days plus a lot of digging and pulling to get that shovel out.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

That would be something to see!

[@iolithblue]

Also worth noting the yellow cover (which doesn't do the work, it's the core that does( lets go first, to indicate that a major failure is close to happening

[@daveevans2710]

Great to see the mastermind making another appearance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tigerheart6]

I just build a huge D11 from technic Lego 😊 love your channel greetings from Holland 🙂

[@chevyvictor]

Great to know the capabilities cheers Team

[@caffrey9762]

Pretty amazing how strong them straps are

[@m9b7v5]

Great video, thanks

[@Jan-Boer]

Interesting to watch. Thank you. I see those gold prospectors in Alaska on the Discoverie Canal fiddling with chains up to 10 tons. Dangerous but makes it exciting. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

So much easier carrying a strap that only weighs a kg or so👍😂

[@fatpigeoncafe]

Science at its best.. Thanks boys

[@JohnJones-ce5ri]

Tiny 1 put your back! in to it or you'll be turned into spam cans, hahaha. Testing slings with D11's, it doesn't get better than that, awesome "work" gents.

[@ixlr825]

Good stuff mate...interesting for sure 👍🏻

[@Abritinluzon]

Great video Matt so interesting to see what the straps can pull have a great new Year

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Thanks Simon, you too!

[@brownwarrior6867]

In the U.K. most equipment is rated at around 2/3 rds of the actual breaking point. A strap rated for say 6 ton will actually fail at around 9 ton ,a forklift rated at 6 ton will lift 9 ton etc etc. This allows for operator error.

[@gregoryweaver6671]

Loved it.

[@benjaminsagau]

Comment for the algorithm,love what you do!

[@gileshamilton4462]

I see in some of the US farming videos they have a huge snatch rope with a knot system on the end .... never seen one of those break. We use these straps when lifting our engines around the workshop with a crane and cradle think out heavest is 13 tons , that a Q78 2 Stage Cummins ....

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi mate, yep I have heard of them they are called yamkum ropes, as far as I can tell the biggest they do is 2.5in which has a breaking strain of 95ton which we would be able to break👍 I would love to try them though😁

[@MiniDigging]

Impressive it gave a safety factor close to 10. Important to note the date of manufacture because they will get weaker with age. Lots of factors play into their safety factor. The fiberglass strands weaken with different elements such as being wet, temperature and age. Would be nice to see a follow up video in one year using the same amount of slings after being exposed to getting wet and a year of temperature exposure and normal use. I would imagine the safety factor drops down to about 6 with those same slings. Great test, thanks for sharing.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

They don’t last long enough to deteriorate haha we break them daily regularly at the moment haha but it would be good to see👍 I need a massive scale to measure it exactly😁

[@chrisward5626]

They are nylon and it is only one strand inside the cover . Plenty of testing done on chemicals and uv with the rope access community . Rope test lab often tests to destruction

[@rickhatesmisleadia7101]

this vid should be part of every mans video collection and played in every man cave world wide! lol Love this kinda thing

[@RDC_Autosports]

i’m here for the rain caps 😅 i love those things

[@TheForthElement]

just so you know, by australian standards, lifting slings have a safety factor of 8 .. so a 1 ton soft sling (purple in colour) will snap at about 8 ton .. so a 3 ton sling (your yellow ones) is about 24 ton .. that means you probally had about 70 ton on them 3 slings to snap them like that .. not bad for something thats only meant to be lifting 9 ton vertically

[@bryanblake8607]

It’s videos like this that have more to think about than most others. I can understand why places put a lower working limit on chains, cables, and straps to cover their butts the best they can.

[@KM-ug6il]

Obviously the D115 had much better traction because the tracks had far less wear. Cant say it was stronger because the other one spun the tracks, so it came down to traction.

[@geoffreybergeron4493]

Damn that orange one is 140 ton strength holy crap, I wonder what they use that for

[@NorthernDrone323]

I’d love to visit Australia seems like a beautiful place, it’s -24 c Here in Minnesota, USA tonight. Thanks for the videos!

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Thanks Isaac! Currently about 15 c overnight here and max day temp is around 32 c but goes to 40 fairly regularly👍

So cool I'm jealous for sure You guys are my hero

[@lf3566]

Great video

[@snap-off5383]

For a centennial celebration the people of taiwan engaged in a massive 200+ person each side tug of war. The rope broke with such force it ripped the arms OFF the first two people on each side.

[@Digger72]

Awesome 👌

[@victoryfirst2878]

The wood used actually looks like it was heat burned to s certain degree. Job well done.

[@luuk341]

A waste of money? Nah! That's pure science!

[@MinnesotaEric]

Everybody involved is FIRED! Someday I'm going to have a stroke when I come to and see two of my machines tugging against each other.

Amazing what a difference worn Track grousers make on pulling ability!

[@drewdoestrucks]

That was fun to watch

[@SebastianLong]

That was quite impressive that those straps held up to that.

Unstoppable force, immovable object

[@Askyourmother424]

Amazing you have two d11 for farming

Amazing.

[@e-mack]

Good way to dig a pond beneath them!

[@garyr7027]

The average user won't even come close to breaking those straps.

[@proven6270]

Phew-weee amazed to see tiny 2 revved all the way up to 311 rpm and snap 3 like toothpicks 😇🤣😮

[@floydwilliams3321]

Cool video

What a demonstration.You probably have a sponsor in the wings there.

[@sonyvaio82]

Thanks for the slow mo.

[@cantwellron11]

Luv it watch ya welding lugs on tracks before ,,,, back in Whyalla shipyard days they had rods from Japan thick as 5c piece had ta keep buckets of water too cool hand piece colbolt rod I think not real shore but Yeah big heavy weld

[@stuartpalmer3404]

Love the videos and the fantastic experiments that you do. Just wondering do you have a brand of the straps or a retailer of the straps for your Australian viewers? Keep up the great work.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Thanks Stuart, we just get whatever we can find, in Australia at least all straps have to be rated so they are all much the same, I think in the video you can see the brand of the yellow ones we were using👍

[@drewnelson6463]

Looks like fun

[@McNair1952]

Is it just a co-incidence that the yellow cover breaks first? As well as offering some protection to the strap, does it also work as a visual safety device? I seem to remember going on a crane operator/slinger course at work. Though that concentrated on using the correct sling in the correct manner and not going over the Safe Working Load of the sling in the first place.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi mate, very good question, we wondered the exact same thing as all the straps we have broken the sleeve has broken first. Makes sense because it gives you a decent warning👍

[@Devast8r34]

Thanks guys

[@ERROR.401]

Крепкие стропы💪🏼

[@joemac3118]

What he isn't realizing is by the time they got down to 3 , they were already stretched and at the breaking point. If the 3 were new, that would be a whole different out come.

[@geoffpeet9753]

just wondering why the dozer was still in reverse gear while getting straps from the ripper? normally operator takes out of gear if someone is so close to machine, even operator out of cab.

[@jlbminestine698]
