Lifting A Container With Million Dollar Car Inside

[@BigRock804]

I always like videos where Dad and Son work together as well as you two do. It was also great that Dad was working the controls with twenty-first controls. Nice Job. You two working in shorts and here in Virginia we are still having freezing weather.

[@mauriceproctor4967]

Cool to see father and son working on a job together aught to do it more often.

[@slugger449]

It's funny seeing Jr. being the one that does the majority of the talking, planning, asking even when his father is present. Natural leader?

[@douglascurry415]

Hey Trent Jr., your dad and grandfather have to be so, so proud of you. You are one heck of a young very knowledgeable awesome gentleman to carry on the Plaza Towing name. Love, love watching you and your dad working together.

[@theonewhowatchesthewatchme2275]

Damn my fear of heights gets me when you stand on top of that container.

[@teaches2010]

I caught myself grabbing the sides of my chair when he leaned over the edge!!

[@rayjones3212]

EXACTLY!

[@Morganx63]

I am amazed to see the organization and order they have to work, a place for every thing and every thing in place. Congratulations

[@rayjones3212]

I don't know if I had mentioned this before or not, when you tighten the bolt in the (for lack of better word) horseshoes, tighten them then turn them back out 1/4 to 1/2 turn and they will still hold OK, but you should be able to loosen them by hand much easier. Good job - you & your dad working together. Is "he" still the boss when it comes to running the 'Tator? (LOL)

[@mikemmikem2758]

Like father like son. The son is one ool dude. Polite, curteous, knowledgeable. I'd have him on my crew in a heart beat.

[@martyd5819]

The look down into the bed of the truck from your helmet cam was cool.

[@jasonthompson8668]

That was awesome that is a serious tow truck i like big heavy duty wreckers like that they are so cool they can lift anything

[@charlesyell6318]

I am very impressed as to how well you do your job. No short cuts on safety .

[@tylerjust6998]

By the time you buy a million dollar car, shipping, container, and crane should be included LoL. Nice job!

[@pops3627]

Great job I like the communication between you guys.

[@dubious6718]

I like the clean "control-room" with fancy levers, looks awesome

[@henrycems]

Great job, looked like you had good weather for the lift.

[@HughzieTube]

Your Dad almost had the perfect trick there, Swing the boom over and Disconnect the hooks from the storage holders before setting stabilisers down and lifting the truck off the floor so its harder to reach them.

[@chefmatthammerschmidt8408]

After watching your video I continually every time I see you and your dad working together and very impressed and very happy to see if father and son who actually get along really well. My dad and I we just don't get along very well now on the job. That's why we parted ways and I got business ties from him and at this point in time I am preparing to start my next venture because now that I've reached 25 and have had 20 years out in the outdoor industry of Mowing and Landscaping and all that stuff and farm life I'm done my body can't handle all that physical menial labor anymore. I just want to get out and drive get out and haul loads put my technical skills to use have a blast doing it. Thank you for so much inspiration. Thank you for no matter what keeping your cool and your dad as well I love seeing a father and son who work really well together and I can honestly say it puts a smile on my face. as a young man who doesn't smile very much it means a huge deal do you need to be able to smile. you two are honestly one of the few KZbinrs in the entire KZbin community that are totally real totally honest and totally professional and as little drama as possible. by all means find me on Facebook the photo you see here in my profile as an older photo can you find my page you'll know it.

[@markevans3027]

Great job done by Father and son.

[@desertrat8322]

Nice Video Trent Sr and Jr

[@flashanddancedj]

That was awesome... always wondered the thought process

[@gord2358]

Gotta love that telescopic ladder. Good job!

[@brett8874]

Looks like the new rotator is sure getting a lot of use.

[@mjsteelersnation]

Would have been nice to see them pull the car out.

[@rickfehrenback3851]

I know, I would have liked to see the car too.

[@twistedbiscuitsgaming1836]

2:06 Google BMW M4 GT4 There you go.

[@nwpioneer2551]

All of your shows are so very interesting and you really work hard. (& smart)

[@michaelwuest9944]

I think that move was impressive to the ground handlers, no? I'm sure that won't be the last time they call you!

[@plazatowing]

Funny you say that. The reason the called us for this move is because a few weeks ago we were called to winch our one of their forklifts using the rotator which led to this job. Thanks for watching!

[@calgondave]

You made that look to easy. Great job.

[@billmckelvey602]

Great job done by the Trent`s

[@teaches2010]

Beautiful job on the graphics!

[@pedrotheswift5937]

Nice job Trents,, someone needs new boots :) ,, and just how did you get on top of that container?? seem safe to you? ;)

[@anthonyrobertson1787]

Thanks Trent, ? on the Rotator why is the Feet on the OutRigers a defrent Size. 👍

[@silentepsilon888]

the feet plates are larger in the front because they have to support more weight than the ones in the back. The ones in the front have to support the entire front of the truck including engine, while the plates in the back only have to support the weight of the back (plus load). If the plates are larger, the weight gets distributed over a larger area and that reduces the pressure on the ground and makes is less likely to dig (sink) into the ground under pressure, even if they do not use the black weight mats underneath them.

[@dalelewis1016]

You are a good"Swamper"Trent...💪

[@thomasdesmond2248]

It is funny how easy you guys were being. The guys at the port weren't that nice. I guarantee it.

[@JerryBeatFreak]

The guys at the port didn't necessarily even know there was a car inside. Its just another container off the boat. Which is why packaging is so damn important.

[@lynnmoore2664]

Good job & thanks for sharing.

[@normangallant9879]

Good job both you guys

[@christopherdebbane4472]

Is that a new truck I see?

[@michaelaaron4212]

You you been are so brave because most other companies they wouldn’t use just one truck to lift it

[@смиренный-х2б]

There's absolutely no reason to use two rigs. Waste of resources and make a simple thing like moving a container a headache. If a tow company brings two rotators to move a container , your getting screwed.

[@agentcrm]

That car raced at the Bathurst 12 hour in early February.

[@bighouse1283]

I liked Pops😎 comment about helping with the snatch blocks "only one pair of gloves!" 😂🤣 😛 Rotator's could also be called a multi-tool, so many new avenues for Team Plaza now💪🙂👍 Good video thanks Trent. I know you like airplanes Trent you should check out the flyover's on my page.

[@JVerschueren]

They should have set some (cinder) blocks down for you to put the container on. Now they can't get a forklift under it if they want to move it once it's empty.

[@plazatowing]

There is fork holes in the container. Thanks for watching!

[@bobac1083]

half-a-million-dollar tow truck to lift a million-dollar container. Nice.

[@rayjones3212]

BTW, what are those black pads made of? The ones under the extensions? And how much do they weigh? Thanks for sharing. I enjoy the differences between your videos and Ron's. Take care and stay safe.

[@davidschabel7832]

Another job well done, pull toy here.

[@andyroskamp5832]

i love all your videos i just hope you or none of your guys or you get hurt nice car though

[@Chris-wh2gy]

Yo Trent are those your summer boots I love the vented toes 😁

[@ST-ej9bt]

What did your dad say at 10:23 "i lost my gloves" haha he got some jokes up his sleeves ha

[@alexdarte2]

Nice job guys

[@edwinschlee8374]

Great video as usual. That's one nice way to carry a nice car.

[@bigjames6719]

Nice car

[@armandorodroguez1182]

Awesome job You and Your Dad work Good Together. I don't know was this Rotator Worth the Wait LOL 🤔😁 🔗⛓️🔧👊👊🙏 . Be Careful Which Your 6 Tell Your Team to Do The Same . Thanks Again. . 🛩️🚁

[@jimnutzman8637]

Nice job.

[@TheVitorgoncalves]

Dynamic duo ....

[@chefmatthammerschmidt8408]

Have you ever dug holes out in the West Plains area in Washington? It is guaranteed that if you have not had I need to pull out the massive hydraulic Jackhammer attachment for the excavator buy the last home you're going to need to on the last hole and that's a bet you could take to the bank every day of the week. I see right here in about the 20 minute mark where you're facing that same reality I did when I was building a barn come on you darn thing just go into the hole dot dot.

[@nathanbrodeur]

If you have the container hooks those should work

[@plazatowing]

FOUNDRY hooks are not rated for side loads, shackles are. Although foundry hooks get the job done you still side load the hooks therefore shackles are the safer bet. Even safer are BA products container links which we now own. Thanks for watching!

[@e020443]

For a variety of reasons, I got started watching tow truck videos (probably due in part to that BC winter thing) while I was on business in India a couple of months ago -- not much else to do. I drove commercial in the late '70s -- overdimensional in 47 of the 48 states, so know a little bit about trucking in general (or did then). Plus which, I'm a mechanical engineer and understand free-body diagrams really well -- any towing operation is a free-body diagram in real life. Anyway, I've watched three different sources of these videos, and Plaza stands up really well -- I enjoy watching them break in their new high-dollar Miller rotator,, in addition to all the earlier conventional stuff. The guy in IL (1140) is excellent also, but I'm a bit put off by the guy in MO -- he's a bit too dramatic like TV "reality" shows) and condescending for my tastes. Either way, this stuff is great, and Plaza does a nice job of just getting on with it in an efficient fashion. Well done!

[@xDGKRivas22x]

What's the brand of the ladder you used?

[@mikejessen3894]

nice video Question is there a way to put two outrigger pads on each side of truck .

[@plazatowing]

We have been debating creating brackets under the truck for that but have yet to do so. So unfortunately the only box that will house them is the one they are currently in. Nice thought thanks for watching!

[@davidturney9813]

I want one!!

[@TheAMGamers]

Awesome!

[@Benzelf]

Nice video Trent. Question: why don't you store these footplates (is that the right name?) each two at both sides ? That saves time not walking around the truck every time :-) And if you tighten the shackles, fasten it and than turn it 1/4 back. That way it doesn't get stuck and you don't need a crawbar :-)

[@268391]

Container hooks would have been nice for this job lol but still a great job

[@plazatowing]

We have foundry hooks which are an all purpose hook and we just received our container links. Much safer than hooks. The hooks get side loaded during container lifts. All are ways they can be done though. Thanks for watching!

[@steinarerling8185]

Cool !

[@genereynolds6141]

How many tow truck do own.

[@slugger449]

V8 Australian Supercar, it's a legit championship car.

[@kennethchurch587]

Nice

[@dave_n8pu]

How much do those pads weight that you use under the out riggers?

[@teaches2010]

I'd guess 50-60 lbs each?

[@plazatowing]

38lbs each. Thanks for watching!

[@Coonass]

My guess is 38lb. Not too sure though.

[@aznboycols]

I was getting queasy when he was connecting the top corners of the container and leaning over the edge.

[@roccit]

Noob question: Why are the feet on the rear outriggers so small? The ones in the front seem like the right size.

[@Coonass]

I'd say because they have more of a load towards the front. They've got the cab, motor, drivetrains and other stuff compared to the weight towards the rear of the truckx even when under load.

[@gregwaremoto1518]

Why haven’t you guys put a shop radio in the truck that’s something you should have put in when you first got it

[@plazatowing]

This truck will not get a shop radio as we do not want to drill the antenna hole

[@MarshallLoveday]

Questions on this one.... 1. Did you have 'hard copy' certification of the total weight of the container? (NOT just somebody's guess...) 2. How did you evaluate the balance of the container?

[@plazatowing]

The hardcopy on the container weight was in kilograms so when converted we came up with 17,XXX pounds. We rounded up to 20,000 to be safe. As for evaluating the balance we opened up the container and determined it was relatively balanced. We also assumed the sea container cranes had to of had the container somewhat level to pick it up anyway. Putting that aside the rigging used was adequate enough to assume all the weight (20,000 lbs) on one side of the rigging. Hopefully, that answers your question Thanks for watching!

[@lonzosmith7618]

I LIKE YOUR VIDS

[@byrd203]

Whats the ladder he's using

[@yones.allaham9310]

Like job 👍

[@kat2641]

At 34:30 I was going to ask you if the ladder ever got you but I heard "ouchie" lol I love them ladders but they love to bit me too ;-) Million dollars car?? O.O man..... Edit last question is on strap's when do you decide to replace the straps?? But was a sweet lift an a perfect touch down ;-)

[@patrickziegler1055]

2 years clean CDL- I want a job!

[@plebemichoacan]

What type of ladder are you using

[@borisobrucicov8630]

Dang how fast did the Beamer go?

[@смиренный-х2б]

Like any other v8 with a small turbo would go.

[@mattmorton12]

What snatch blocks do you use? Brand and capacity?

[@mauriceproctor4967]

What's the difference between the blue hook and the white hook?

[@arbiter1]

There is no difference between them they are just colored that way so when got multiple people involved you can say which one by color instead of guessing.

[@typashley5394]

None it's colour coded to the control panels so it's up or down on white or up or down on blue depending on which they want to move.

[@Scott924m]

so was there more than just that BMW in there because it doesn't seem to be worth several million dollars ?

[@KB-gs8zi]

Sir Trent !!!OKS !!! Who put their foot prints on the outriggers & didn't wash them off ???? Naughty ,,Boys !!!! Anyhows, As always ,,enjoyed the videos !!!!! KEEP IT SAFE !!!!!!

[@alejandromotaguevara3363]

ME GUSTO MUCHO EL VIDEO DE LA GRUA LEVANTANDO EL CONTENEDOR

[@princeross26]

Lol, he hit you with the “only one set of gloves”

[@Dylan-kw4ol]

U should do spreader bar lifting the cotainer at some point Trent!

[@WileE.Coyote]

You might have covered this when you first shown us the rotator , But are the steers rated @ 20k,the drives @ 46k & the pusher @20k?

[@johnled4375]

Can lives in other lover

[@mouscj3]

Great job with this High Dollar Lift... And as always, A Superb video... Wanted to ask...Does the company have container hooks arriving or on order before y'all do your next container lift job??? Keep up the Good Work... Thanx for sharing... Andy.....Southeast Missouri

[@plazatowing]

The hooks you are referring to are called foundry hooks which are an all purpose hook that can be used in container pockets but are not as safe as shackles because they become side loaded when lifting. Even safer than shackles are BA container links which we have now as well. Thanks for watching!

[@junkman6456]

No ramp for unloading?

Awwww, wittle baby cones

[@jamiuotila4447]

It's pretty hard to justify your title when you don't even show the car inside the container.
