A Dublin company has claimed to have broken a Guinness World Record after lifting a car weighing more than five tonnes with just nine drops of glue.



Henkel Ireland is claiming the record in the catgeory of 'Heaviest vehicle lifted with glue' after lifting a pick-up truck giving a piggyback ride to an additional Smart Car.



The total weight of the vehicles was 5.02 tonnes, which was almost one tonne more than the previous record.



The company is based in Tallaght and manufactures Loctite Superglue.



Henkel Product Development Manager Dr Liam O'Dwyer said: 'The preparation took a lot of hard work and we are thrilled to have achieved this world record.



'It's a very impressive way to demonstrate the strength of our Super Glue and we are proud that it was developed and manufactured in Ireland.'



Staff from Henkel travelled to Germany following a series of trials in a yard at their base in Ballyfermot.
