I can pull to 130,000 lbs, we have a small Test Bed now but our old one yet still small was 450,000 Lbs., there are some really big ones in the field and one that I do know of is 3 million pound bed owned by Bishop Lifting.
Right! Nah that isn't a ratchet strap that is a EE2-801P x 4' polyester web sling made from 9800 lbs material with a rating of 3,200 lbs. at 5:1 with a vertical breaking strength of 16,000 LBS., basket breaking strength is 32,000 LBS. We make those also. Thanks for watching.
Once you have a failure on a complete assembly in "test to destruction", can any of the components of the tested device be reused? Or do they have to be tossed?
@@hanginwithdaddio I suspected as much... but being an engineer (retired) I had to ask rather than assume. I'll probably never build or need any of these rigging implements, but I find your work and processes fascinating.
Wise words.always check your equipment. Love the miller hook
Thank you.
Thats a nice lathe. I have been subscribed for a while now. Like your videos. Cheers from Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺
Thank very much for watching.
That Miller Hook wasn't impressive to look at until you put your hand next to it. DANG that thing is BIG !!!
I knew that would happen so that is why I did it. That is an 11,000 dollar hook.
Great video sir! Enjoy learning different stuff like this. What's the highest test load you can do??
Long time subscriber and liked 👍

Another sweet video. That test bed is pretty cool. There a load cell and then what computer program gives you the reads?
Yes, in previous videos you can see different parts of the system. Thank you for watching.
I bet the ratchet strap on the Miller hook is rated at 50 ton! lol

Have to be tossed except for the items I use to test them, once an overload occurs it must be taken out.
