hydraulic self erecting tower

[djr0108]

hu huh, erecting, like a boner.

[CRTukker]

I find it hard to masturbate to this video.

[jeancolmor]

wat to gow somwon thinking !

[jeffpicks]

There must be some SERIOUS stresses on those pins and fixings when that thing is on it's way up. Think of the amount of torque that thing is exerting on them little pins on the ram. I'm actually surprised it worked even once without shearing them pins, or ripping the bracket off the side. You must have some serious good welders on your jobs!

[buckshotgigalo]

my tower erects in 6 seconds and is twice as big

[01ps]

Is that little blue ram nicknamed Viagra?

[BlimpsYT]

That's one dang horny tower right there... o_o

[jimmy3889]

stay in school..... if you could read you would of realised ive finished school by now! think before you try and make a comeback mate

[MrThisIsMeToo]

@jimmy3889 You claim to of finished school yet your grammar and punctuation are atrocious. Let alone the fact that your post proclaiming to be educated is a run-on sentence.

[jimmy3889]

@MrThisIsMeToo wow... im sorry i dont put commers and full stops everywhere. I will try and be more Gramatically correct for you because it's so important when writing a youtube comment!!!! :S haha

[kakahieu12]

that is how slow an old mans penis erects!

[samelya]

Wanna pet that dog.

[Stang70Fastback88]

Holy **** I can only imagine the force on that hydraulic ram. I wouldn't be standing anywhere near that thing...

[JasonJason210]

Cool. How do they know it's straight?

[Reav420]

There is no way that is just 800lb. People can deadlift 800lb

[TubeHacker01]

@Reav420 Just the turbine weighs 800lb...

[fcentaur]

Genuine montage!!!

[78s4FR]

the power of that hydraulic ram. amazing

[CarmellaWelkes8]

lolcant seem to find a guy who isnt a coward

[sasho54]

Why no cables inside ?

[URTARDS]

@sasho54 it's a test lift

[angryadrien]

@sasho54:

it was a test of a prototype.

I suspect that the internal components were installed after the mechanical test was successfully completed.

[jasonboose]

checkout the one from RedDriven!!  they have two pistons

[PlebScrubber]

Hurry up! So slow.

[tonytucs]

Chinese rubbish

[hearttobefelt]

if a large crane is needed on site they can be $ 5000 per day

i like their idea

[Fiinniinnii]

NICE

[mafiouso]

really needs to be a mechanical locking system in case of hydrolic failure

[phaze44X]

lol would be funny if it went all the way to the top and fell the over side

[tinram745]

it wouldn't, it's on hinges.

[stewpedashoe]

Great idea but your setup appears to be way too small and underpowered. You blow a seal and you lose a tower, and whatever you're flying when it all hits your maintenance stand and the ground. You still need a gen-pole and pulley system to raise and lower this kind of weight. Or at least as a safety backup, in your case. I used to think about a portable electric wench to replace the truck but this would most likely do considerable damage to the cable, which would be used on all the towers...

[steeltransport]

Wow. Talk about cost effective! Instead of a crane just use a small jack. Smart design.

[dougeastman]

wow, this is very neat! i could see this being the future of smaller privately owned turbines!

[7sleepy]

I have a self erecting tower.

[glorywind]

I now have a new fabricator, tower working fine, where did you get your tower?

[FlingwingGolfer]

he was born with it, is what he's saying...

[justforever96]

LOL, some people are WAAY too literal. "I wouldn't mind letting HER drive my stick-shift!"

"Are you crazy...let a woman drive your car!? No WAY!"

LOL.

[IRONMAIDENFAN2006]

@7sleepy figures some idiot would come up with a saying like this

[jimmy3889]

@IRONMAIDENFAN2006 lighten up for fuck sake!!

[IRONMAIDENFAN2006]

@jimmy3889 is that how you think of life and everything in general... "lighten up"

yea figures a stupid kid would stick up for another stupid kid.......

[jimmy3889]

@IRONMAIDENFAN2006 if u dont find his comment funny, then ure an extremely sad bastard with no sense of humour, im not a stupid kid, im 21 and judging by it im more mature than you...... go choke on a double cheeseburger pls!

[IRONMAIDENFAN2006]

@jimmy3889 yes your a kid and your comments now and then reflect that... stay in school 

[spidez8407]

@7sleepy lol

[delaney12]

@7sleepy my self erecting tower is always operated by a female

[glorywind]

yes, has cannon look, has become more trouble than thought...cost is high compared to crane lift

[rufousme]

why would the cost be so high its just a ram and pump hinge and a couple of welds for attaching the ram ,, i guess to me it dont look much as where i work we have heaps of rams of this size and we have to service them .

[ReisendeEuropa]

The cost of the ram, as well as the extra work of powering it and making the hinge, probably cost more in time and effort than renting a crane for the day.

[rufousme]

Now what when i want to put my new 2m beam that i just purchased so off to the crane hire company to hire another crane for the day ... I like the idea of this self supporting tilt tower when i need to make changes to my antenna system i do not have to keep running to the crane hire company plus i can service the ram my self if needed cheers 73 vk5xxx

[godbluffvdgg]

i was thinking the same thing. These "inventors"

jump over the dollars to get to the nickles. dumb. hell, you could lift this with a tow truck for 200 bucks.

[gpgab971]

There are many active and proposed windfarms that this could come in handy on because of the remote locations or lack of a nearby towing service. Mountain tops, deserts, and atop existing bridges and buildings. Besides, if the guy delivering it could just leave it to the assembly crew, there would be no need for a winch rig on site.

[elmariachi109]

toyota keep on investing millions to come out with new car... they should take your advice... just buy a honda... it'll be cheaper... lol...

[justforever96]

Once you have a standardized design, the ram and hinges are easy and cheap to make, especially if you have lots of towers to raise and lower. For just one tower, yeah, just rent a crane, but if you have 50to raise and maintain, crane rental is expensive as hell. Numbers make things cheaper to build, and if they just used a single detachable ram for all the towers, it would DEFINETLY be cheaper than a week of crane rental.

[justforever96]

I agree, rams ain't really expensive. I wonder if anyone else has considered just making the towers and rams so one ram can be removed and used to lift multiple towers? I mean, once it's raised, then what? The ram just sits there? Use the detachable ram, raise the tower, detach, move to the next one. Store it in a shed until you need to lower one again. Am I not thinking of something here? If I erected and owned a windfarm, it'd be cheaper than buying a crane. Or IS that how they do it?

[bestamerica]

look alike a big cannon gun

[ratburger12345]

Cool system!

How much payload can be raised with the 80' tower? I can just only imagine the stress on the tower base, with a large load on top and the cylinder near the bottom :)

[pudd750]

can still hear enginneers clicking their heels in glee

[muskokatone]

slicker than whaleshit - lots of applications there!

[glorywind]

mingosuzuki, yes we are buiolding an 80', In what State are you located?, no pipe diameter is 24"

[mingosuzuki]

Hey have you seen my video of my tower from ReDriven? I love this thing The turbine is always spinning even in the lightest winds. By the way Do you have a video of the 80 Foot Tower. I would like to see that. I heard that there's no such thing. Is it the same diameter of pipe?

[mingosuzuki]

i got one of these!!! with 2 cylinders!!! galvinezed... there's a patent on it allready. Got mine from redriven. the company is in canada but the product is from china

[glorywind]

yes, I know company and product. This was the prototype and ReDriven's first units, we have inproved the tower.

[mingosuzuki]

How do you know redriven

[glorywind]

I import same units, have made improvements, build our own towers, can hydraulic up to 80'

[mingosuzuki]

80'!!!! that's crazy. My is the 52' with tiwn cylinders. What other improvements have made

[mingosuzuki]

what about footings? I'm going to use a 10x10 5 feet deep. Thats engineered

[glorywind]

our towers and foundation are engineer stamped by Kansas City firm. Out stamped foundation is smaller....we lift 20kw 80' with hydraulic

[glorywind]

if engineered then must be ok, did engineer have weight and blade information?

[spazirandeh]

thats a pretty slow erection...just kidding... thats pretty cool..agreed you should patent it!

[NumbProductions]

u should patent it
