Can Trailmater replace a crane?

Heres some off-season work. When tourists arent getting stranded in weird places we take on odd jobs. This is a glimpse at some of that. A communication company needed a storage box set and didnt want to have a crane come in and set it, so they called us and asked if it was possible.

I have seen professional movers and riggers handle VERY large machinery in tight spaces, but they have nothing on you, Rory. This was real impressive.

[@launceherron]

Absolutely

[@TheAntinowherelane]

That was wild! Never thought I'd be on the edge of my seat watching a shipping container drop off but here we are lol

[@Martin-yl5zb]

I’m always amazed by Rory’s experience and knowledge. Powerful equipment would be useless without that.

[@jps99]

A difficult job well done! Your 'Towmater' is an impressive vehicle. You should do a video describing how you engineered and built it and what the various design features are. I love 'purpose-built' equipment!

[@co1urzz]

velcro shoes don't lie, this man knows how to get things done.

[@nelsonwelch1747]

Best use of winches and snatch blocks that I have ever seen! (I am 80 years old, MS in Physics, former teacher (8 years), State Police officer (2 years), Crime Lab expert in Firearms (10 years), my own business (38 years) and Jeep owner/driver for 59 years. Yes, I was impressed.)

[@MZ-bl6wg]

As an avid Moab wheeler all my life I can’t get over how calm Rory is in scenarios that would have me panicked ,..he’s jsut a Legend and Moab and those thst wheel there are lucky to have him!

[@cottonmouth71]

WOW.......by FAR the hardest workin truck & best operator skills I've EVER seen !!

[@kevinproefrock1524]

You are quite the driver, niiiice

[@rdlykryk4384]

Right tools for the job. Never too many snatch blocks. Nice work and Merry Christmas from N.W. Montana.

Love the "everyone can still count to 10" comment at the end.

[@Vile-Flesh]

This was a really good watch. Very clever use of the vehicles, winches, trailers and prybars to get that container onto that concrete pad. Best part though was when you said "I have an idea but none of it's good." I know exactly what you meant.

[@dougdean3134]

Well! There was no shortage of things to be paid attention to. Slow and easy is a win!

[@Alternate_Ending]

Your trailer reverse skills are awe inspiring.

[@utahradioman]

Impressive job backing out that trailer!😃👍

[@orchidhouse297]

That is a stunning display of skills and understanding that you would never learn in school. Great team and great vehicles made it look easier than it probably was. Not forgetting the winches!

[@EvanMoon]

A little schooling and a lot of time on the trail. It’s things that are not being taught in life much at all

[@chucktaylor4958]

No. One can also learn geometry and applied physics in school. Hard knocks or formal. Applying what one learns is not always easy for some.

[@chucktaylor4958]

[@sliderdriver1]

Carry 2 long scaffolding tubes for next time Rory, be slicker than a sea snake lol. Excellent rigging and effort👍

[@Starman1016Adventures]

Wow simply amazing. You really know how to use that truck. Great job....

Using one vehicle to slide the container was smooth. Mater is a tow master.

Brother, all I can say about this video, the job that was done, was well done! I sat there, watching y'all move slow and methodically, checking things out thoroughly, showing your incredible talent and experience, getting things done one way, the Right Way. Slow and steady always will win the race with careful eyes watching! You got my vote! It was a team effort being a win-win situation! Congratulations!

[@bizob211]

Amazing ingenuity and skill to accomplish the goal of placing that container there. 👏👏👏

[@The-Deadbolt-Deputy]

I love how the Mater didn’t even squat when she took on the container load !! This is my favorite recovery rig !!!!! Seth from North Carolina.

Don't worry about click bait Rory your videos are real and as a fan I hope you keep it real! Trailmater is my favorite recovery rig! Thanks for bringing us along

[@remraf72]

Haha! The really only SCKETCH part was the positioning of the buggy ! Holy smokes! Nerves of steel ! Personally speaking, I found it to be VERY ENTERTAINING AND INTERESTING ! Have a very Merry Christmas Rory and an even more Happy and Prosperous New Year ! Your vids are so cool and you have so much integrity - you'll never ever have to stoop to click bait. Warmest Regards from Arizona.

[@planeranger4147]

[@idontknow2293]

That kind of engineering don't come out of a book. That is seat of the pants learning. I wasn't there but I could tell every move was in your head. You saw the problem and said "Let's git er dunn" 😎🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👍

[@terrelltucker4321]

Well that was real entertaining on several levels. Wow! Also answered all the questions I was just starting to ask myself about moving my 20 foot container…and more. Simple - just call Rory and crew!

Those vehicles are the true "Muscle Cars" and the rigging crew work with the expertise of surgeons. This is a great example of professional experience and expertise. Thanks for sharing. I found your channel through "FabRats" & "Matt's Off Road Recovery" and have subscribed. Regards from S Africa

They definitely hired the right crew with the right equipment ( and knowledge)! Awesome job. 👍👍❤️

I have never seen a ball mount like that one. Buggy and tow truck are awesome particularly in the hands of capable operators.

[@utahradioman]

Pretty snug fit for that container. Winches and snatch blocks really do their job well!😃💪👍

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

seriously I had an idea of what a skilled and great driver you are Rory. But the entire loading, hauling up, unloading and backing the trailer backwards off the hill that was seriously badass!

[@Grandpadew]

Yep, and again I would enjoy watching you shoot a game of pool!! Good job

[@dawabbitt3079]

It's amazing to watch someone make calculated corrections every few seconds. The only constructive criticism I might add is the failure to accept that using a two-way headset would greatly improve communication between tow people working in tandem with one another. I see this (a lot) on (a lot of) different KZbin recovery channels as well - and think the same thing. Other than that, this video was yet another reason why I'm happy to have Subscribed to your channel! Side note - 34:39, where you mocked other KZbin channel's Clickbait by suggesting using a video thumbnail of the connex on fire (blurred-out) with the caption "WE PUT IT IN THE MOST EXTREME PLACE IN THE WORLD - EVER!" ... was my favorite part of this video. Thanks again, for your continued content.

[@Stratos53100]

He does use them, in other videos with the Mater, having the towed rig apply the brakes whenever needed etc. Often at times cant be seen, though he does use/own headset(s),

[@dawabbitt3079]

@@Stratos53100 Thanks for that reply! Guess I'll have to catch-up on a lot more videos.

[@kbouwman64]

I have found that with some work like this it is really important to hear the equipment sounds. I am sure Rory is listening to the scraping sounds, the subtle noises the cables, winches, and vehicles are making as the take and shed load. He also wants to hear any alarm raised by any crew member or the sounds of any rock shifting. A job like this looks visual but I can assure you it is done just as much with the ears as with the eyes. All of that to say that putting any kind of headset on can be more negative than positive.

[@drgunnwilliams9951]

Geez, some people can't even parallel park and he's backing a trailer down a mountain ... 25:25

At high speed, that's pretty fast to be backing a short trailer. The shorter the trailer, the easier it is to jack knife them. Don't ask how I know. 😑😊

[@maxironpaw]

I enjoyed the heck out of this video! I've always enjoyed moving heavy items by myself with that at hand, and you sure did a lot of that. Plus, driving the buggy up on steep nothing, placing the container precisely, and backing down the mountain with a trailer. You are a great driver and you also understand vectors better than a university professor. Cheers!!!!

[@markpospichal6529]

Amazing display of skill and ability with equipment you designed and built!!!!!

[@dennispalmer6007]

I don’t know why You can still amaze me after all of the impossible recovery’s you have shown us, but sliding that container in that tight to the building ? I have no doubts that a mechanical engineer couldn’t do it with a million dollars worth of equipment . Would have loved to be there to witness it.
