Watch as the vehicles appear to be grabbed by some invisible power, tossed around and chucked backwards up in the air.

Startled onlookers stare at the van drivers struggle to get out of their cabs.

But this was no alien intervention for traffic violations. It was, according to media reports after the event, the result of a large motorised streetcleaner whose large rotating brushes snagged a huge wire.

The wire was anchored solidly by an object on the far side of the intersection. When the streetsweeper grabbed the loose end on the other side of the intervention, the cable rose in the air and became taught, acting as a tripwire for the several vehicles.

  • Less damage for a low cost with SKF’s new development
    January 6, 2017
    More machines, both mobile and stationary, are using centralised lubrication which helps to ensure that all points receive the required amount of lubrication, as lack of it could result in expensive bearing damage. Escaping lubricant can have a significant negative impact on the environment, and can also incur expensive clean-up and disposal costs. SKF has developed the Lincoln Hose Connection Control, which can be operated between -50 to +70 OC, this unit shows immediately and reliably when damage occurs.
