WE BUILT A CAR CRUSHER!

Finally finished the car crusher! It took longer than I thought to complete, but I think it was worth it. Let me know what you think!

Put 2 smashed cars on top of each other and smash them again please

[@andypittman9850]

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.

[@clydeacor1911]

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.

Great job on the car crusher dude I want to see what it does if you stack one on top of another then drop it I wonder how far it will crush it

Hey Tony Another successful build ! I would like to see a car put in with the engine facing away from the pivot as well as two cars at the same time. Put a car in upside down. Stand a car on end. Put one on it's side. I mean, sense we are playing, lets try it all ! Thanx fur the entertainment. Now about the upcoming build with the Super Singles ? Play Safe, Be Well

[@tractorboy31]

I would look to some sort of cable release and wieght the hook so you can free spool it down because the rapid unspooling seems like that will be hard on the winch. Cool build

[@HardCoreFab]

When the dog on the winch is disengaged the gears in the winch aren't turning so there is no stress on the winch.

[@scubasteve7946]

I'm thinking he means like the bushings in the drum etc spinning pretty fast. Probably hurt it over time. A quick disconnect on the hook end of the cable might prevent that. Sort of like a large car door latch you could pull with a rope on the cable hook end.

[@tractorboy31]

[@johnkranz4004]

That’s Excellent Job Question will those cars look Wide when I get crushed will they fit on a tractor trailer without all the hanging

[@HardCoreFab]

None that we have crushed so far would be too wide to go on a truck. Having that said I think you would need to push the doors in on a pick up or a Van to keep them from being too wide

[@billyhaddock5540]

Congrats Tony on building the Hulksmasher to show us how it smashes cars. agree that the cars need to be higher to flat it more. cool video.

[@user-bq7ct8yw7k]

It's certainly an awesome attempt at building a home made crusher! Well done guys!👍😀

[@HardCoreFab]

I painted my vehicles before I drive them too! LOL

[@lisab3396]

I sure wouldn't want to be removing a few parts from a vehicle while it's sitting on that crusher 😱 That's a pretty small diameter cable? Just right for a snap one day. I'm surprised that the hinge is so high up. Likely half that height would work better.

[@robertthomas6127]

Hey it has weight. That's what counts 😉 Not even lowering the hinge will help because all the mass is lost as soon as it hits the part of the car closest to the hinge. This is a coffee break project and not a piece being buildt to go into production. Pure männer fun stuff.

[@HardCoreFab]

Yes you get it!

[@mikethatguy27]

Absolutely awesome!💯🙌✌

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

That was excellent! Nice job 👍

[@c50ge]

What happens if you stack 2 smashed cars on each other and resmash them together ? Could you get another foot shorter on each car? May be easier to stack?

[@C69FH]

Yes... this would be worth watching

[@frank-t6857]

Adding a bit more weight to the lid I think it would crush two cars at once. I still think that the hight between the bed and the lid is a bit too high. The hood and trunk are not affected much by the crushing

[@HardCoreFab]

We are planning on playing with it more soon

[@gsp911]

@@HardCoreFab You could also try tilting the car to the side and giving it one more smash. 😎

[@watahyahknow]

if the engines are still in the cars they probably turn intoo a wedge shape , maibe if the stack them with the noses in oposite direction the engines can embed themselfes in the trunkspace

Stack 2 smashed cars then smash them again! Lol Definitely turnd out cool. Could watch it work all day!

[@n8delrio]

[@shotsrodder]

I was going to say that you guys should keep the car off center to the hinges to reduce the leverage on the hinges 🧐👍 great job Anthony 😎

[@genehasenbuhler2594]

I'm impressed- but I think it would do better if the hinge was level with the table! also if you load the cars to the end of the swing it will make em flatter!😁

[@pipegang6497]

I was gonna ask him the same thing why did he position the hinge pin so high off the surface you figure it would be more stable if it were attached to the floor

[@genehasenbuhler2594]

@@pipegang6497 that's my way of thinking! I agree 100%.

[@Masterfab93]

The only reason for the elevated hinge is it allows for better momentum and keeps it from binding up.

[@mikethatguy27]

If hinge was level it wouldn't be able to crush 'flat' it would leave the cars less crushed on back side. Therefore could not stack the crushed cars. 🤷 That's just my weird little brain. Who knows 😆🙌✌

[@lukelegg9915]

@@mikethatguy27 you are correct, plus the engine is the most un crushable thing in the car, so having it level would not work

[@seancollins6524]

What a great build . Looking in from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@TheBlaqDeval]

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]

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]

It only has to crush the roof down to make it a level base to stack other crushed cars on top so they can be stacked on top of one another on the truck.

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.
