That's pretty neat, though TBH I was waiting for a hydraulic valve to fail or something and just fling the car off to the side.

There's most likely counterbalance valves on each cylinder, which will lock them in place should there be a failure in the system and it's most likely running as fast as it can.

I'd be worried about the car not being strapped down in any way falling off the truck. I think there was some cribbing to keep it from rolling, at least.

It looks like it's still resting on the forks so maybe they act as wheel chocks. Also the car's parking brake is presumably still on

Ah, you're right about the forks. But, are you going to trust that the driver used their parking brake or that it is even working?

That car snatcher owns. Two forks for each axle, seem adjustable enough that you could restrain the car at low speeds by adjusting the forks. Being the kind of tow job that is, the driver probably goes to a parking area or wider street to curb on while strapping the wheels or anchor points. That happens all the time with repo drivers in the US. They'll snatch a car and move a few blocks away before stopping to properly secure it.

I have respect for Fred Dibnah, but I have even more respect for the cameraman following him on the scaffolds because he is not Fred Dibnah.

edit: unless the cameraman is not actually on the scaffolding but on a huge boom lift, which is cheating

That weld exists to safely fall off and drop the enflamed battery onto the ground while you roll away.

Hell, even if its a "my car won't start, please tow it to the mechanic" job, you should probably pull somewhere else instead of strapping the car down in the middle of the road like an rear end in a top hat.

I think the last time it was posted someone said that bearing grease smokes up nicely like that, the bearings are probably crazy overheated when it seizes up and then the lubricants just start frying.

The robot is in need of maintenance. That's why there's only the one weld that looks like poo poo. The rest of the cars going down that line will have that same lovely weld until they do maintenance on the robot.
