The shots show the major difference a rotator makes in minimizing lanes to be closed and also (for those who were listening to what you said during the planning part) knowing how much weight you were dealing with (an empty trailer) where and how to lift the unit to get the car out. BTW, cool trick using your aux. line to pull the car back for the flatbed to get at the front with ease.

@justaskin8523 Жыл бұрын
@@PepesTowingService Nice video work, really. I hate to criticize, but this lift kind of freaked me out for all your safety. First off, I know enough about Cali traffic that I don't like how traffic was driving in the lane right next to your truck, WHILE YOU HAD A HEAVY LIFT IN PROGRESS and WHILE YOU HAD PEOPLE UNDER THE LIFT. OMG, OMG, OMG! Just because you can do it without closing the lane next to you, does that mean you should? Y'all don't have to he-man this (or "hulk it") to impress us. We're impressed already, so you just need to get everybody home safe at the end of the day. All it would take is some drunk, dozing off, or a seizuring diabetic driver to have an episode and sideswipe or rear-end "The Hulk" at high speed (even during 35 MPH rush hour), and you could have had, worst case scenario, three crushed people at one point during that lift. That trailer had super low clearance. Some of y'all would have gotten hurt because you were crouching, not laying flat. Maybe got hurt bad even if the load had landed level during a failed lift. And we all know they never fall sideways when they fail, do they? 🤨 I know the trailer was empty, and therefore was a light lift. I know your equipment is rated for far more than the lift you did on this day. I know odds don't favor a catastrophic failure during a light lift like this, but man oh man, my friend...you're just holding the damned thing in mid-air with cables, hooks, really really small bolts, belts, and other potential single-source-failure points, not the hand of God! As I said, nice camera work, and a great job too. But don't ever let 100% of the onsite people who could have potentially made an emergency second lift happen...all get trapped under the first lift...yikes! And I'd go one step further, and see if I could figure out a way to make all the sh!t that needs to happen during the lift (like hooking up the cable to drag that busted-ass car out from under the trailer)...happen FAST once the load is in the air. In my opinion, y'all were a little bit leisurely crawling around and crouching under that trailer. And also walking leisurely back and forth next to the load while it was just dangling there blowing in the wind. This is dangerous stuff you and your crew are doing. Be safe!
@PepesTowingService Жыл бұрын
I imagine people like you live permanently inside and are too scared to ever step foot in the real world. The trailer has wheels and is connected to the tractor. Even without the car it has the same amount of clearance underneath. And it’s easy to downplay the rigging but your rigging should NEVER fail when used right. The weakest point in all my rigging is a 12ton (24,000lb) shackle and I had TWO of them. Rigging doesn’t just fail. People are so used to seeing crappy tv shows where abused equipment run by clowns fails on them. In this case, I have higher odds winning the lottery than my cable just pulling a final destination and snapping. My stuff gets checked regularly and I over rig. As for the traffic, valid point. But how many videos have you seen where a driver rear ends a car or tow truck WITH lanes closed. Happens a ton, unless I shut the entire freeway down you can’t avoid it 100%. There’s a reason not everyone can do this job.

That's why European trailers are required to have side protections, so that vehicles cannot get under them... great video, and I'm happy that the driver is alive! 👍👍👍
@deltajohnny11 ай бұрын
@@DaveP-uv1ml Yes, it's a shame that manufacturers can get what they want, just to earn more money. They could have left untouched the existing trailers and make the new ones according to the safer European standards... I hope that, for the health of the American drivers, things change in the future! 👍👍

3 questions. 1. How did they get the person out before you got the car out? 2. Have you ever had to get a car out with a person still inside? 3. Why didn’t Highway Patrol close off the lane next to you for safety? Great work!

I have so many questions. How did the person get out of the car? Climbed out of the window? He must’ve been hauling ass to get stuck like that. I’m assuming they are ok since they didn’t have to be extricated by firefighters. That’s wild. Nice video. Maybe you need a tiny umbrella for your cameras 😂😂

Saw an accident today involving some trucks and a car. Two heavy wreckers on scene. Trucks were all back on the ground when I got there. Then I saw what was left of the car. No survivors. At a spot where the 3rd r/s lane ends. 4 wheeler must have tried to beat the trucks into their lane. Bad move.
