Q:What camera do you use?
A: I use the Go Pro Hero 7 Black Edition primarily. Often times you will see auxillary cameras in use. Those cameras include The Go Pro Hero 6, Hero, and DJI Mavic Pro Platinum
Q: How big Is your rotator?
A: It is a 50 ton Miller Industries Vulcan 950
Q: Does the carriage slide back like Ron Pratt's?
A: No, the carriage doesn't slide back due to strict weight laws in California. The sliding carriage will make the truck to heavy in CA
Q: Why do you only have 3 winches on the rotator?
A: Comes down to weight again as stated above
Q: How many trucks Does Plaza Towing have?
A: Currently more than 30
Q: Why must the driveshaft be removed to tow a vehicle?
A: When vehicles are not running the transmission is not receiving circulating lubricant. If the driveshaft is left installed, the transmission, which is not receiving lubricant, is still spinning. This allows it to get very hot which eventually will cause major damage to the transmission. Therefore, removing the driveshaft completely eliminates the transmission from spinning. Simply leaving it in neutral is not sufficient since the transmission still spins in neutral.

I would have used angle iron to prevent damage to the flatbed above the rear duals.

@rupe53 2 года назад

Ivan V ... also could have used a split piece of 2" radiator hose (truck style) over the chain or pulled the boom in a little.

@plazatowing 2 года назад

Good point. In hindsight I completely agree! Unfortunately I wasn’t thinking of it with the truck and the state it was in. I was just more worried about getting a line to it. Thank you for watching

@robinstewart6510 2 года назад

Yeah, almost as much as a tow truck driver telling professional boom truck operators how to operate their boom equipment. All he was asked to do was prevent the truck from falling further over until the boom was free from the tree and the truck stabilized. At that point, the boom could be swung back over and lowered without any further risk whatsoever.

@pnwoffroader331 Месяц назад

Yeah, but he has a inherent risk when his wrecker hooked up when the boom truck is way out of level, it honestly sounded like the guys he was working with were dumbasses@@robinstewart6510

That was more exciting than I expected. In other developments, so sad that fine heavy fencepost had to be hastily sacrificed to make cribbing.

@timothygeiger437 2 года назад

What fine heavy fence post? Wood cribbing is used all the time for many jobs. It's cut to that size & different sizes to be reused all the time! There are plenty of trees in northern California, Oregon, Washington, & IdahI. Wood is hauled to southern California all the time, I'm sure it's not the end of the world to use wood that you think is fence post!

@robinstewart6510 2 года назад

All he was ASKED to do was prevent the truck from falling further over until the boom was free from the tree and the truck stabilized. At that point, the boom could be swung back over and lowered without any further risk. He wasn't ASKED to take over and he wasn't assuming the liability if things went wrong and their boom truck landed on a house.

@raym909 2 года назад

Some years ago at this testing lab i worked at. We had a Grove 30 ft crane, 4 wheel drive with articulated steering. , will low-low. i am a computer/test eng. i use to run the crane on tests setups. i was certified to run it. And did some odd stuff with it. i pulled a tanker truck out of the mud. just got back a 100 ft and wrenched it to me. we had made a personal basket that pined in the jib pin holes. used that many times to run cables on telephone piles. always enjoy your videos, because i did that. Now those videos where a crane tips over, i see that coming way before it happens. my rule was, no unsafe lifts, and questionable one, keep the load a foot off the ground. i had to move a steel tank, like 10 ft round 30 ft long. i took it to the sight, letting it bump the ground. My rule was, no boss can make you doing something you do not feel is safe.

@nathanarievlis3985 2 года назад

After that jolt , the set up you mastered is secure , stow the boom. You gotta admit now,that wasn't the best judgement. If it was those guys you didn't trust, go to a reputable tree service and ask them if you can familiarize yourself with their trucks , so you could do it in the future. It's not difficult, you'd have it figured out in no time.

I don’t understand what is going on. They raised the truck up with the boo why not slowly take the pressure off with the boom until it comes back down. I believe the guy in the tow truck made it out to be longer than it should have been to make it look like he done something special lol. I’ve been running a bucket truck for 25 years and I know for a fact I could have gotten the truck back down to the ground without having the tow service

Great video Trent my only question why did they have the boom truck on such a angle ?

@gorillaau 2 года назад

I assume that they didn't have the reach at that height so needed to tip the truck to get close enough to the tree. Stupid set up for which insurance company would have spat chips if they saw photos and video. The boom operators are just waiting for a collapse.

@2009dudeman 2 года назад

The truck started tipping over, so they put cribbing (wood blocks) under the outriggers to keep it from falling back to the ground if it let loose. It was flat on the ground when they were operating it, until it got stuck on a tree.

@reevinriggin3570 2 года назад

My uneducated opinion, which means just what you paid for it. Nothing. That said, I think the down pull should have been to the frame of the truck as the wheel is not rigid to the frame and outriggers of the man basket. The springs can allow separation of the bed to the wheel location and movement of the boom causing more leverage to be exerted on the connection and more possibility of failure. In other words the truck can still lean farther even if the wheel remains stationary. Good job overall, though.

@maverick5006 2 года назад

Hi Trent, I have a couple of questions. 1- At 8:21 you reversed your hook on the lower attachment point. Was that because of "Tip Load"? 2- Were you ever concerned that pressure on the tires would cause them to blow out? 3- It looked like the chain to your boom distorted the wheel well cut out of the bed. Are you guys responsible for that damage (If it actually occurred)? Not being a troll here, just interested in techniques and the geometry of recovery's. Thank you and God Bless you and your team.
