Not only does this thing have a large amount of torque but the teeth in this machine are very tough. My guess is electric ran by a Diesel generator . I am wrong .

The VB 950 has a single Caterpillar C18 diesel engine pushing out 710PS (700hp) and…440,000Nm (324,483 lb-ft) of peak torque, and if that doesn't impress you, how about the VB 1500 that has two C18 diesel mills delivering 1,500PS (1.479hp) and - wait for it- 1 million Nm or 737,463 lb-ft!

The sad part is that car was somebody's baby at one time. Happens to most of them eventually I guess..

That's what I was thinking. " Wait, I changed my mind" :blink:

These bad boys are loud as all get out too. I dropped off a car at a place in South Beloit Illinois (Behr Metals) when I worked for a salvage yard and they were running their bigger "seperator" and got to see it in action. Same concept as this only five times the size. Kool to watch!!!!

This is what I saw running....

Man that guy pluck those parts like grapes.

He is very good on that thing.

Cool vid Kerry.

Yes he is, grab that radiator like he's...picking grapes!!!!

The Police should make the owner of the car and the family watch the process. Let them see the car get destroyed :)

I totally agree!!!!

This puts me in mind of the episode of Monster Garage when the guys failed to finish the hearse. Jesse put it in the shredder. It was so big that they had to dump engine blocks on it and force it into the machine.
