The Ford Motor Co. Battery Recovery - How Much Can We CHARGE???

[@letitrest4662]

I knew there was a spark of hope when you guys showed up for a battery recovery. I hope you charged enough.

[@AW-Services]

Wow, I've never seen a recovery that's landed a truck that smooth before. So calm controlled and professionally done. Way much better than any big bucks discovery channel production

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you! Never a reason to not do a controlled roll when you have the equipment and capability to do so

[@nrobinson8713]

Great job. That Rotator needs more bright flashing lights. Keep up the good work.

[@DragonRides75]

Nothing big to difficult or awkward for level heads cool calm and collected one step at a time for a flawless recovery

[@PaulyP420]

Nice recovery! Keep posting videos!!

[@The5granddaughters]

WOW!!! I’m impressed

[@davidsnyder2000]

WOW what a gentle landing with getting that rig uprighted. Perfect pulling angles😃 That was amazing to watch. I’m so use to seeing on KZbin how things always seem to go wrong lol😄 Nice job to the wrecker/recovery guys👍 That was the best recovery I’ve ever seen in person or in a video. Nice😊👍

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you! With the equipment and training available today, there's no reason to not be able to perform a smooth upright like in the video.

[@SumterWrecker]

Awesome recovery. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻

[@jasonharper2601]

good catch system. came down gently

[@hoodhomesgardens]

That explains why our batteries didn't see the dock.

[@sillarsscott7694]

Very impressive to get that unloaded and almost upright in about three hours Please keep the videos coming Scott your friend from the west coast of Canada

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Yes, sometimes the cargo is easy to re-stack and is easily accessible with the right machine, making the job go way quicker. Glad you enjoy the videos! 👍🏻

[@sillarsscott7694]

@@WilcoxGarageRecovery I am wondering if you had any caps in the office that I could order from you

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

@@sillarsscott7694 We have a very limited quantity. Facebook message us and we can get you some pictures of what we have. Guess we need to start an online store!

[@fishpolice150]

Great recovery 👍 good job. Well executed

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you! This particular recovery went very well given the circumstances.

[@gregstowing9294]

Excellent recovery guys. Textbook work. Had me “charged” up watching. 😂

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the play on words 😂

[@tomrogers9467]

You’re revolting. Go Ohm.

[@rjkeenan8955]

Well done.....beautiful tator.

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thanks!

[@rl4928]

Great job. Really sharp looking equipment

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you!

[@butchmcintyre5196]

very nice landing didn't even knock the snow off

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you!

[@pacoal]

Nice job guys. well done

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you!

[@retro_grade]

You guys must be video taping every time you get a phone call now to get that for the start of the video. Love it 🤣

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Yes, we keep the cameras rolling 24/7/365 😂

[@michaelfranson5249]

Amazing Recovery.

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you!

[@roddyk05]

You landed that a lot smoother than the guy who fell on his bum at the end 😂

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

You would be correct there 😂

[@niklaasmulder1411]

Nicely done and awesome recovery. I'd love working with you guys 👌

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you! 👍🏻

[@mattharris1995]

Low winch lines for the win. Nice recovery

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you! The recovery went really smooth overall 👍🏻

[@dps67]

Now that's what I call getting the lead out! 👍👍

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Actually these batteries were AGM, which really helped because it meant there wasn't battery acid everywhere!

[@jeffwatson2234]

Great job

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you!

[@litz13]

That's a lot of brand new truck batteries ...

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Yes it was!

[@deanspagnolo4976]

Great job guys 👍

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you!

[@johnsmart3587]

Thanks.

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thanks for watching!

[@jackstockley4501]

winter time is a busy time for WG I got to go on some winter calls with Lee and my dad in the old White bubble nose on 224. I'm sure you'll be glad when winter is gone, till then be safe and take care!

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Wish we still had that White, along with many of the other old trucks they had over they years! Winter really has not been too bad for us this year, but we have still been busy.

[@mars6433]

If I would have seen that, I would have just kept on drivin'.

[@tomrogers9467]

You sure had your plates full with that case. That was a revolting wreck but you passed the acid test. Hope you charged plenty, bet you were glad to get Ohm.

[@DarkVoidIII]

You recovered the batteries but how much charge did the Ford Motor Co. recover from them? 😂🔋⚡👍👍

[@bryanwilliams847]

The old power lines, stay safe

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Always seems to be right where we're working haha

[@steves9915]

Nice landing.

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you!

[@Mystic-l3r]

Hope everyone is doing OK in Ohio

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

The winter has been really mild so far, but we are still staying plenty busy!

[@retro_grade]

Where was the Safety Director at this time to catch the wardrobe malfunction? Was he on vacation or playing camera man? 😂

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

He was camera man for some of this one!

[@artyart31]

SMOOOOTH

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Just the way we like the recoveries to go!

[@tomrogers9467]

I’ve been following Hiway through Hell and Heavy Rescue 401 for years. It’s refreshing to watch your recoveries without the overly dramatic “Captain Obvious” narration, and the Apocalypse Band background music!

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

😂 Thank you! Yes, they do tend to be a little bit overly dramatic

[@jamesmackinlay4477]

Yeah super singles suck in snow and wet weather.

[@joha7484]

💪💪💪💪💪

[@cmpphilip]

Now for the big question will the scrap all the batteries or sell or use them?

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

The trucking company sent another truck 2 days later to finish the delivery to Ford. It's hard telling if Ford will accept them, or reject the load once they arrived.

[@dannylim3318]

Ford will most likely reject the batteries since the crash may have caused micro-fractures in the battery cases. This will potentially cause problems for the end user. The trucking company's insurance will most likely pay out a claim.

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

@@dannylim3318 This is what everyone would hope would happen! Depends if there's a shortage of these batteries or if it would hold up production...they may end up getting inspected and sorted.

[@loafandjug321]

3:49 Driver should be fined for bald tire, which proves he didn't do a DOT pre-trip inspection.

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Can't remember if it was really as bald as it looked, or if it was just completely packed with mud.

[@asquithmainlines699]

Why did the ambulance have to show up at the truck recovery..... One of the batteries died😂

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

😂😂😂

[@RR-bt5xv]

so how much does a recovery like this cost? ball park

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

We won't disclose the actual price, but can say it was in the 5 figures.

[@donaldcampbell5277]

Battery sale?

[@richardthompson5313]

charge your rate for the job and thats all

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

And thats what we did. We thought it was a funny play on words since we were dealing with batteries. 👍🏻

[@dixiemae5042]

Betcha he was going too fast … 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Yeah, that probably played a part in the accident!

[@dixiemae5042]

Twelfth👊🏻💪🏻

[@markroderick3300]

shocking

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

😂

[@rockymartin2179]

might have been able to save the tractor but after dragging it forever its a total loss

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Unfortunately with the power pole and guide wire cable, it had to be winched backwards away from there to safely upright it. With the snow and the mud making conditions slippery, there most likely was not much more additional damage done than when the truck already flipped

[@edstevens9357]

Lots of good parts to build a glider

[@jamesadams893]

There's no point in talking if the microphone isn't going to pick up your voice

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Yeah, we noticed that. Need to get better about facing the camera, and not talking directly next to noisy equipment...or get better about implementing a wireless mic

[@robh.7699]

Awesome job

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you!

[@TowMan127]

Awesome work! 💪💪💪
