Wow, never seen this one before :eek:
 
1st video is better than 2nd video, Cuz fork rest on top of car and jaws on front rips the engine out quickly while 2nd video show that jaws behind fork wasted time to rip engine. I'm sure they'll want 1st one.

Itll be a great engine ripper for theives to rip engine out of car as fast as they can on Highway, if car left on highway, engine be gone the next A.M when you come by with tools :eek2:.

I ever wonder what would owner of Jaguar, Rolls Royce or any dang expensive car feel if their engine ripped out fast and hard and disappears when they run to Starbuck and out in 5 min :eek2::pissed:

Or lazy mechanic who don't want to work under the car, just rip good engine out from old car and put on workfloor just pull damaged parts and transfer good parts into the engine then drop it to good car.

Today, most cars has engines that is made out of aluminum, this was the reason why they want fast pull out of engine so can scrap the aluminum which in turn means $$$$.

I do not believe once they use this machine to pull engine out would mean they will re-use the engine because the engine itself will be severely damaged from being pulled out too hard.

I do not believe it will work with vehicles that HAS real frames. Today, most cars frame are the body itself (Frame-less), that is why it is easy for them to pull out engines. Only trucks, some vans, and some Jeep (Like one of mine) still using real frame, this would make it real difficult for this machine to pull out engine.

The description of these videos stated that they drained the fluids (oil, coolant, brakes etc) before the machine pulls the engine out. Any POS vehicles will be retired as they don't pass state inspection and can't afford the repair or not roadworthy. This is the final "death" for those vehicles at the scrap yards to be salvaged and become skeletons before being crushed.

Yep many engines are made of aluminum means more value at the scrapyard. This is the faster way to save labor to remove engine and put in the big recycling box for aluminum.

Regarding about frames, perhaps they will remove some engine bolts off the frame then the machine will pull it out? I'd be curious to see how they get to work on Jeeps or any vehicles with real frame can still pull the engine out this way.

Of course those engines will never be reused to run again, they probably going to melt it and use for other metal, etc.

You do have good points there :)

Since that forklift with hydralics jaws are really strong, It'll rip engine off from support block off the real frame.

I've worked with Hydralics in the past and I know it's very strong and can rip it off very easily even it may look weak.

Yeah, I was J/k about it.

You may be right, who knows. I know it can rip out from uniframe (body is frame), but not sure about real frames

If you look at the vids close you can see an Exploder get its motor pulled out. That Exploder got Body on Frame and the pull was just that easy as with unibody car.
