Can A Car Be Lifted Off The Ground With A Bunch Of Cable Ties?
To answer another question no one asked, the fine folk from Beyond The Press thought they'd see how many cable ties it takes to lift a car off the ground
Cable ties (or zip ties, depending on where you are in the world) are an invaluable resource for petrolheads. From tidying cables to stitching up wounded drift cars, they have countless uses, but can you lift a car clean off the ground with a bunch of them?
It’s a question I’m sure literally none of you have ever asked, but hey, if the guys from Beyond The Press (the Hydraulic Press Channel’s equally mad sister outfit) want to find out, we’ll gladly watch. We’re just not sure you should try and replicate it yourself…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong……
Can You Haul A Load By Just Using Zie Ties??
How many zipties does it take to haul a train car. Lol
Okay then
Man.. I want a sierra wagon..
RWD = good for drifting
me to :) its sad to watch this video ;(
Looking at buying one soon. Surprisingly cheap insurance.
What’s next, “Can you lift a car using paperclips?”
I’d watch that.
sound like a good idea lol
Going by some cars on the road, I’m quite certain some people use them to hold the suspension together and also instead of wheel nuts.
Roadkill used zips ties to hold a smallblock v8 in place of a motor mount. between that and some customer vehicles I see, nothing surprises me.
also good for engine mounts
Already been done by me but without cable ties
No wonder they hold a broken bumper so well
What else have the Russians though was a good idea?
They’re from Finland
You could probably lift it with 1/3 less
