Dead Loader Needs A Lift! 40,000lbs

[@wideslammer]

The extensive commentary is helpful for those of us who are not in the recovery business. It's more interesting to have a description of what's going on rather than trying to guess what you're planning.

[@glennjukes5581]

Glad to see you posting again,Trent. That is an older model 966(m,ost every model now has a climate control cab) -thing on the front is a modified root rake of some kind. Good lift-be safe!

[@rtguincho4822]

very good video, congratulations to the tow drivers from Brazil

[@bd2622]

Miss the videos! Can’t wait to watch this now!

[@oisforoffroad]

The time lapse shots are great to see the deflection in the boom. Thanks for the cool content.

[@hughgautier3894]

That tail has a lock that keeps it from swiveling like it was doing with your lift.

[@plazatowing]

It was broken off the machine

[@danielmarkwell6565]

Either way you did an excellent job 😊

[@nelsonglass6]

Flexing sound temporary while bending the boom sounds permanent

[@cashtimevideo1501]

Nice to see you back in action Trent! 😅👍

[@ariedekker7350]

This job was also fun to watch.

[@jacoblambert8082]

Other than this, which I’m still gonna watch

[@garryhall2964]

Surprised that Jeep didn't come out with more damage considering how far down it went, and the smaller cliffs it went over.

[@vanbraxton8422]

The Machine has a locking mechanism bar that u put in olace for shipping the unit which stops it from twisting / did u look for in on the loader?

[@plazatowing]

Yes, it was broken right off the machine

[@AppalachianPatriot]

Use chains and binders if lockout is not present. Many older machines don’t have them.

[@ricanderson5717]

Never seen a machine over a year or two old that still had a functional locking mechanism. Always lost or broken. Sad, but no one seems to take care of the gear, just run it till it breaks.

[@tombrown5755]

Nice work as always

[@TheVitorgoncalves]

good job guys...

[@georgehasler142]

Nice job as always Trent hope you make a video of the car in the canel as always work safe

[@jacoblambert8082]

Any other new video coming Plaza towing and Trent

[@brandonstone3104]

New Heavy Wrecker Operator here. On the three-part lines, each part has 1/3 of the load. So if the load is 10,000 lbs, the load on each part of the line is 3,333 lbs. My question is: what is the load on the winch - 3,333 or 10,000?

[@sinisaivkov8393]

I was serving in artillery during the war 1992. On howitzers 203mm, There was no part od equipment lighter then 25-30kg to handle with. It looks like your job is not any lighter in spite of remote control. Rather a lot of hard work for a one man. Trent I wish you best regards from Zagreb, Croatia. Does Alex work for you anymore?

[@deanzrinski284]

Wishing I was there with you! I was born there many many years ago!

[@brandonbrattina4471]

Love your videos. I would love to see the tow bill to see how expensive those jobs are.

[@joelworden3967]

Another great job buddy! I never did heavy but always understood you gotta chain them wheel loaders cause they like to get squirrelly at the worst times. But whatever! You live and learn. Much respect for showing it on video! 👍💯 That keeps me watching bro 🤘 I never knew about boom deflection. Really cool thing to learn! And I've done plenty of light duty water recoveries but never worked with a dive team. Usually get asked on scene "you got a winch or enough chain?" as LE points to something off in the distance with maybe a roof showing. Then you get the classic advice about your wallet and now a days phone. Then the last little jokes about can you swim and snakes before you go fishing with a J hook. My question, since you've worked with a dive team, is it possible to get some sort of diving certification that'd allow yourself as a tow operator to do your own rigging? Even if for safety you had to go down with the dive team. Something that I've wondered for many years and figured you might have some insight on. Or one of y'all might have some experience with? Thanks. Keep it up man! 👍

[@lloydrobinson7081]

keep the clips coming

[@danielmarkwell6565]

I would never make this lift without 4 outrigger deployed

[@thomasgette2465]

Understandably you’re busy with Chochella and Stage Coach . Thank you for the video, another Great and Informative Job .

[@ordinarymiracles5959]

Obviously you did not put the pin in to prevent it from bending. Whoops! 😟😟

[@alohavibes4189]

Plaza towing has a new truck that is sure it will have a lot to do with work for work them a lo l

[@TowMan127]

💪💪💪💪💪

[@derekperkins8158]

good job..lol

[@DependableAutoTruck]

how much will the lift chains hold

[@plazatowing]

36,000 each

[@huskerboy3471]

Hi

[@jeraldhood1327]

Use spreader bars

[@plazatowing]

Why?

[@jeraldhood1327]

@@plazatowing evens out the load

[@plazatowing]

@@jeraldhood1327 I mean you could but in this case it would be unnecessary. The chain bridals accomplish the same thing due to being equal lengths. And because of the height of boom and rigging, the sling angle was in such a way where spreader bars were not needed

[@AppalachianPatriot]

Spreader bars keep chains off of body panels. Damage free is key even if it is an old machine.

[@plazatowing]

@@AppalachianPatriot chains never touched body due to high sling/boom Angles

[@hymer644g]

Completely dead in the water?.. where’s the water?

[@plazatowing]

It’s near the salton sea
