Rebuilding The Worlds Biggest Forklift Part 3

Mar 16, 2020
I'm afraid to say it guys, we have her stuff, man, we can't get her out, what's up guys, welcome back to the channel. So today we will continue working on the largest

forklift

in the world and, as you saw in the previous video, we perform a complete maintenance. This thing is ready to go and one of the first things we want to do is put up our own

forklift

. That sucker is very heavy but it's immobilized, so let's go ahead and turn this thing on and see what stop there, yeah, it's very incomplete, hopefully, I mean, only this side is turning.

I wonder if it's a limited slip or what it is, probably just if one side turns the other side will stay, you know what I mean, I wonder if they'll be locked at any moment or what. I'm wondering if there's a way to block it, buddy, if you could block it that way. It would be crazy because it would weld that dull weld real quick on that

part

, but then I guess it wouldn't be able to spin as well, you know, I mean, it'll be like scraping really hard, but dude, that thing actually lifted it with little to no effort. , I barely lifted that stick, but I can feel the thing sinking.

Hopefully we're not stuck right now, so I guess we'll try to back up without that forklift on the forks. Maybe let's wait until it's a little bit drier to pull this, yeah, exactly, now we know you can probably lift all of this because, hey, yeah, it has a back, just lift it like it's no problem. I think this actually weighs 10,000 pounds, which is how many tons it is. tons, of course, tons of this thing can lift up to 20 or 20 tons, so I could lift two of those, no problem. I hope you get back out there and we don't have to take out the front end or the GMC GMC or the Cummins that pull. maybe we'll make a train and line them all up.

I don't think we're still standing. Let's go ahead and turn it on and see if we can get out of here. We may be trapped. Maybe dignity oh oh, too bad, cut that. thing out dude, I think we went into a hole, dude, that's not good, the back end is super heavy and wet, dude, or 50 times, yeah, I think so, dude, I didn't think it was actually going to get stuck so easily. but I mean we knew it was wet, but you know what we wanted and we had to send something ugly at least a little bit, but we had to send a little bit now, let's take out something heavy, let's make more heavy equipment, okay guys, just First I got the GMC because it was right in front of the line waiting to be put to work, you know what I mean, but I'm going to go ahead, throw this big hook here, let's see if we can get that thing out, if not, we'll have to bring the Ford, maybe even the coven will turn them all on and get that sucker out of here, buddy, let's go fishing right now, yeah, someone's got the same thing fishing in the mud, hey, he's getting more and more stuck right now, buddy.

I can't waste too much time because I think we need to move on and make the fort too oh I don't want to hit rock bottom yeah once you bought it that's bad luck man I don't. I think you ever get out of there, you know, I mean, it's sketchy, but yeah, the Duramax is working a little bit, but there you just spill it, spill orange juice, throw dirt and everything. I think we have to align the Ford and, if anything, align the Esquiva up, you know, we are not three people, although there are only two of us.
I'll drop the ball. I'll put this one in and drop it, so I'm thinking I'll start with that one and leave it in neutral. Yes, leave it in neutral. and it's just me, I'm just riding because it doesn't make any sense, he's hitting the gas and sinking it like you're not doing anything, you know what I mean, oh yeah, let's go ahead and bring in the big gun, the big boy. I'm afraid to say it, the guys have their stuff, we can't take her out and get this guy. I'm thinking, though maybe we even have to get a semi out here or we could probably start the Cummins and do three in a row and I also have someone on the lift because both trucks are actually turning forward and you're digging into the ground a little bit. , but this

part

here of this soil is quite resistant, it's right there, to this right.
The left side is where the land is actually very smooth. The left side there is actually not that bad. It's not even sinking on that side here. He sinks about a foot and then just stops thinking. I understand. Hit that payload. Yeah, and we need somebody in the we don't have anyone, we don't have a third wheel right now to get in there and give it some gas because I guess we'll attack it tomorrow, we probably won't detect it tomorrow. Go ahead and investigate this a little more and see if we can get out so we'll have to catch them in the morning okay guys does it blend in?
So they finally got some help here, so let's move on. I hope another shot takes this sucker out, damn son, so he finally got it out, look at that, oh, let Doug know, hey, I'm surprised, I actually took it out when it was wet because it rained overnight and it got a little bit. soaked, but dude, with that third person right there going full throttle, he was on the throttle twists, the man pulling him all the way, damn, son, this thing, yeah, Phil peed, oh yeah, I don't think so let's go wash it after this. Dude, because we could do a second try because I mean, this truck got him out pretty easily with that third person out there, so if we get stuck again, I mean, hey, we're not giving up, we're still learning a lot. about this lift right here and you know what we should have done, yeah, we should have extended that boom and actually got the horse off the cliff, that's what I was thinking.
I thought, damn, we should have done that last night, I'm just wondering if you push the forklift or I'm wondering if you're strong enough to push this out. You know what I mean. No, we shouldn't just try, but you know what doesn't matter. We know we really can do it. That's because we're so close to the forklift that it would just be pushing or that could have worked by pushing it from the bottom of the pool so there's no channel, but as I just mentioned, we're still learning a lot. Right now, how do you want to try this again?
I think we just have to turn this thing over, turn it up with the dirt that's a little bit harder and take it from that angle and there's like a tree there, so there are roots. on the ground so hopefully we won't get stuck there and I mean just look at it buddy we're already sinking here and this is some tough terrain buddy this thing is too heavy you should be a giant yeah. giant, but anyway, let's move on, take these trucks away, turn this thing around and give it another chance guys, so we've got this hooker here, buddy.
I'm surprised we got out of there with this piece of heavy equipment. Here mate, this is wait, what did you say like 10,000 pounds thousand? I thought you were about to say piece of trash, it's a piece of trash because this is just done, dude, streaming is done on it. I know it a lot. People like them can probably save it. I don't know man, we couldn't find any worthwhile parts in the world, but not at all with this thing, yeah, and I think it went out of business to be honest with you, whatever this brand is, but what do you do?
I think what we need to do is just throw it away, that's what I was thinking, we just take it to the junkyard because I mean it's of no use to us, sit in the backyard, well we'll take the things we need like the forks and anything else we roll up that we can use later, but other than that, we'll probably go ahead and throw this thing away from here, before we tear it apart and get it ready for the In fact, they contacted us at the junkyard, some of our friends actually work on heavy equipment, so you might want to get this off our backs before we get rid of it for pennies on the dollar, so we'll just put this sucker aside, but for now let's move on here, as you know, we build a beautiful fence for the first time and we actually did a pretty decent job, but now we're going to go ahead and try to build one. door here we have a little problem with people coming in while we work and it is becoming a nuisance.
I wish we could talk to all of you because we love you, but right now we're going to put some what kind of skills would you call this um put a pole in the ground lean people on the ground the first thing we're going to do is run to a local metal yard because whenever you're building a gate the wood shouldn't They won't be metal, right, yeah, definitely, I think it's a good metal post because it's going to be a pretty heavy set. The pretty heavy gate was probably an opener who knows so I mean this is the first time we've made a gate we made a fence yeah the reason we're doing this because you know we've got some pretty expensive stuff here , we have security cameras, let me show you an amazing security camera, how it is recorded right now, so dad definitely thought it was funny, but anyway, this will definitely give us some extra privacy in security, so let's go to some stores and let's see if we can get some supplies so we're here at the steel warehouse as you can see we have all kinds of steel here but we found our beams $600 worth of beams these ones here this was a 20 foot beam cut by half, so it's 10 foot beams and this is nice and solid now let's run to the store and see if we can find some sturdy hinges Alright, we come here to Walter, a lumber company from our local hardware store, because They have literally everything, but apparently it's not what we're looking for here because they have some heavy duty welds on the hinges.
We're possibly thinking about this, but then again we're trying to ask what the weight capacity is because if we're building this with metal, you know, even the door itself is probably going to weigh a couple hundred pounds, you know exactly what, but would you find are these online? They're the exact ones I was trying to look for here, they're actually made for doors and I found them on Amazon for about seventy-six dollars, but they're actually called bolted and studded door, you know? hinges and they know you can grease them, grease them and all that is exactly what we need.
They look like they're going to be inside, they'll probably rust easily or something, but we'll probably order them later anyway. At this moment, where do you want to go? Probably, they want to grab an auger or what? I don't know how we're going to dig these holes in that auger. It saved us a lot of time, so what do you say, catch 'em guys? at Home Depot, that's right, guys, what are we building? Man, what do we have here? What are we going to get? We're getting something out of this little area of ​​the cage here.
Actually, we are getting a spin. I dont know if is. It's called an auger, it's a different kind of device, but it's an auger, but it's powerful. So we use a device to dig holes, but we also have some fast streams. This will harden within an hour, so yes, no foam here, this is real. concrete and we have electric mixer mixer whatever you want to call it it's a wheelbarrow immediately check that's not it I guess they told me everything go hook everything up okay guys go back to the house let's do it man that groundhog is working for us. but honestly, it's just this clay, there's some rock and some hard stuff here, but we've got our pickaxe, we've got our steel beam, I don't know what that's called, but it goes through these rocks and all that good stuff and we've got two.
The feet on that other side should be much easier, so let's go ahead and use it on that side as well. Now that we have the posts in the holes, it's time to get them nice and level and set themselves, the only way. You might consider bringing a ladder and a hammer, probably pounding it into the ground. What we can bring in on our forklift and apply some pressure, maybe they'll just sink, so let's go ahead and leave the old forklift and bring. on the new one, okay, so it actually went as planned, the pole actually went straight into the ground at the perfect height and they're all level.
Now it's time to break up some bags of concrete, open them, mix them and pour into these holes. right guys, we got some umbrella stands built here, but it really started raining on us, we're going to leave them there anyway while things heal, that's now, we're going to go ahead and return all our rental equipment and we'll do it. I'll see you tomorrow morning, okay, so it's the next day. Now it's time to start building our doors. We did some preliminary drawings and some measurements, you know, we're not engineers, but we are YouTube certified, so let's move on. and we run through the metal yard andWe grab some more metal, so we return to the still patio.
We went ahead and got 120 feet of two 14 gauge buttons and I think we're ready to go back, so we did a bunch. of measurements and we also cut a lot of metal and you're probably wondering what the heck is going on. We are actually building a double swing door instead of a single swing door because I think it will look much better. Be a little more challenging, but damn, they are gigantic metal doors too big. I think we can handle it, so next thing we pretty much get out the welder and start welding our frames and hopefully we get these measurements right, it's a heavy duty one, right, this is crazy looking, it's like a bear cage or whatever you want to call us, a shark cage, you can go underwater.
And you know, fight the shark so they can't even get to you. We're done with this door. I don't think you can even drive your car through this thing, man, maybe we have to try a police car. see if it's left with any frame damage, yeah, no, this frame damage, definitely, the frame of a car, damn your car, but you know, look at all these welds, they had to put a lot of good, yeah, but they are good dogs, they are friendly and sturdy, but anyway we finally finished, it took a while, but now let's go ahead and take all the pieces to the second door and weld them together before it gets dark, okay guys, so Finally we welded both doors. but we got too late, we're going to have to catch them in the morning, what's the next day?
Check this out guys, we finally found some super sturdy hinges, this thing here, I think it's called a barrel. hinge and it can also be greased and there is a ball bearing inside and this suction cup here can hold up to 1000 pounds, which is crazy, it's going to hold a lot of weight and we're going to weld these suction cups directly to the post and the door, so let's go ahead and get out the soldering iron again and solder these suction cups. Check it out mate, we put up our first door and it turned out absolutely amazing.
We welded and greased the hinges and it articulates perfectly. This sucker rose. I weighed 250 pounds and it didn't sag at all and we're going to add a little more. I don't know what we decided on this fascia, but maybe some bamboo, some wood or something, a diamond plate or something, man. we're going to play around, we're definitely going to discover something, but let's go ahead and move on to this other side and eliminate it as well, so we just knocked down both doors and it turned out absolutely amazing, it looks good as it is, but we'll probably go ahead and choose our fascia.
I'm thinking we'll probably use the same wood as the fence, that way it matches and we'll also probably take some paint so we can paint this. The whole frame and the post that way they don't rust anymore, so let's run to the store and grab what we need because around here things are drying up, so we'll get them while we can, so let's go ahead, load everything up. Go back to the house, so we're back to the first thing we want to do is go ahead and scrape everything off, they're going to wax and remove grease and throw on some paint, so we've got all the doors covered in wax. and grease remover now it's time to paint we only have four cans of this but I think it should be enough let's go ahead and spray this sucker and protect the rust so the whole door is finally painted and looking pretty good.
Since it probably looks great in a modern home without the boards, but now it's time to finally apply some of these boards and what we're going to use to hold them on is actually just some self-tapping screws which should work. That's enough, so let's go ahead and get started, guys, there you have it. We are finished with our gay, aside from the openers we will be releasing later, but as of our first gate we are very happy with the results. We know that if we could have done something better, we always like to learn together with you, let's move on to our huge forklift.
We have some pretty big plants here where I know a lot of you are enjoying it and we're learning a lot. in the process, but this thing is definitely going to get a pretty sick paint job, so leave the comments below what color we should paint it and let us know anything else we need to do, so guys, this will be a recap of today's video. make sure your post notifications are on so you don't miss anything and also if you want to get the inside scoop before youtube definitely follow us on instagram and if you want to help support the guys be sure to check out goon-squad calm. and copy some merch we just restocked on Dang-son t-shirts these suckers always sell out fast so be sure to cop one and help support their guys so with all that being said thank you all for all the love and support, be sure to leave your comments and thoughts below and we'll see you next time.
