M Scotch-Weld Instant Adhesive was recently responsible for a Guinness World Records-setting

feat, lifting an 8.1 metric ton (17,857 pound, 2990 PSI) forklift in the air for one hour. This amazingly successful demonstration set a new world record for the heaviest weight lifted with glue. The vehicle was suspended from a crane by a steel cylinder only 7 cm in diameter, with the two parts of the cylinder secured together with 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Plastic & Rubber Instant Adhesive PR100.

“3M has long been known for its expertise in adhe- sives,” said Brian Brady, business manager for 3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes. “We’re excited that this demonstration proved just how strong and relia- ble 3M Scotch-Weld Instant Adhesives can be.

The vehicle lift was conducted by engineers Jens Schoene and Dr. Markus Schleser of RWTH Aachen University, and was featured on the German televi- sion program Terra Xpress. Guinness World Records adjudicator Olaf Kuchenbecker was on hand to wit- ness the lift and certify the new record. The German team had to meet several formidable conditions to break the previous record of 8.01 metric tons, but succeeded thanks to the exceptional performance of 3M Scotch-Weld Instant Adhesive.
