The Wilcox crew was called out on Easter to recover a rolled over car hauler in our hometown Circle K gas station lot. The rental truck's hitch broke, causing the trailer load of cars to topple and crush the bed of the truck, as well as totaling the cars. One car was even launched into a light pole! Watch as we bring the right equipment to quickly clean up the accident.

I am by no means a car hauling expert but I do have a 40 foot three car hauler that I use to haul my camper, trailer and my 4 x 4. Mine specifically states not to put a car up front above the hitch unless the rest of the trailer is loaded. if this is the cost for that it is 100% driver error. From my understanding the weight of the cars over the axles and low on the trailer, Keep the trailer from Swaying causing fatigue.

@WilcoxGarageRecovery Год назад

That certainly would make sense! He had just delivered 2 cars about 25 minutes north of here, and his truck was at the dealer getting worked on. Since this was an Enterprise rental he was using to pull his trailer, maybe it was fully loaded at start, and the hitch couldn't take any more after he dropped them off

@jeffsmith8449 6 месяцев назад

@WilcoxGarageRecovery I plan on hauling cars using a Curtis 5th wheel, but I bought a hitch that would do 32K that hitch is rated for 21K if he has been hauling 4 cars say SUV's he is already exceeded the weight limit. Lucky guy if that broke loose on the interstate, he would be looking at prison time for wrongful death. for violations. I would say he just placed himself out of business he destroyed that Truck and maybe damaged his trailer.

@reelshawnbradly3069 Год назад

placing both cars on the top deck creates a lot of stress on the hitching components in a set up like that. I would have placed the front car on the lower deck, placing the rear car where it was... that would have lowered the center of gravity and greatly reduced the stress on that hitch setup.

@WilcoxGarageRecovery Год назад

That most likely would have made a difference! 👍🏻

@Smokr Год назад

Exactly what I noticed immediately. Asking for it.

@GFSwinger1693 Год назад

Agreed. Open frame trailer like that has little torsional rigidity. In this setup having a load on the top puts a large moment load on the hitch during cornering due to the centrifugal forces created. You have to drive very gingerly on corners.

@KDSLegendary Год назад

I wouldn’t recommend anyone to drive such trailers. If you want to be a Carhauler - buy right trailer and truck

@tomrogers9467 Год назад

How did the trailer end up a hundred feet past the dumped car? Had to have been flying!

@WilcoxGarageRecovery Год назад

The more we looked at it, it just didn't make sense to us either. For one, was definitely not a fan of whatever that double swivel gooseneck to 5th wheel hitch that was in there. Thinking that it was not installed or secured properly, which led it to breaking. The rear vehicle that was into the light pole ripped all 4 tie down straps clean through the heavy steel mesh floor of the trailer.

@michaeld53 Год назад

Everyone is always in a hurry,!! Especially when passing trucks only to slow down to brake check them.

@rigorousrangel6394 Год назад

The skid marks happen when the trailer detaches from the truck, there's a wire that pulls a pin and emergency brakes on the trailer activate, the trailer broke off, pin detached, brakes locked on trailer but truck was still moving and that's how it ended there. There's nothing much to it but just analyzing the situation, skid marks doesn't necessarily means it was going too fast. I own a trailer just like that one and do something similar for a living.

@Juandongduck Год назад

@Rigorous Rangel if you were traveling the proper speed for a parking lot, the trailer could maybe yip but you would be stopped at that point. Proper speed being 1 to 2 mph max

@tomrogers9467 Год назад

Must take a “Special” kind of talent to do that much damage in a PARKING LOT! It’s miracle of nature to pack that much stupid into one skull! And I doubt the hitch broke before he rolled the trailer - otherwise the trailer tongue would have slid off the bed and landed flat!

@davidnull5590 Год назад

Was the guy in the light green shirt the pickup driver? At 8:45 he calmly and expertly guided the pickup off the lawn - Or, that's what he told his wife back home. You never have to be gentle when you can just ram it instead. Yes, he's special. Looking at it again, he was going the wrong way from the arrows on the pavement. And, can anyone explain the distance from the tire tracks on the pavement and where the trailer ended up? I can't.

@WilcoxGarageRecovery Год назад

The only thing we noticed about the hitch is that it was not a normal 5th wheel...it was some kind of gooseneck to 5th wheel adapter hitch, as the truck was an Enterprise truck (the driver had just rented it because his 2022 Dodge was at the dealer getting worked on). So, not sure if that adapter style hitch came with the truck rental or not, but guessing it was not secured properly because it shouldn't have been able to swivel on the goose ball and the 5th wheel plate at the same time. Nevertheless, it was a very long skid mark...

The truck was an Enterprise rental, because the driver's truck was in the shop being worked on. The BMW had just been sold at auction, and was supposed to be being delivered to its new owner. Not sure on the VW... But yes, a very BIG claim for the insurance company to pay out. Circle K has probably been there now for 5-6 years, and it's now the busiest station in Willard.

This is what happens when these hotshot guys use pickup trucks designed as urban play toys instead of a real truck with a proper 5th wheel. Thankfully it came apart in a parking lot, not on the highway where there could have been human casualties.

@supersize75k5 Год назад

A result of the transport guys being too lazy to reload the cars and put the weight down after offloading or delivering the lower ones. its too common.

@shauncollins2017 Год назад

You mean to tell me the 5th wheel plate thats only rated for 21,000lbs gross and only 5,000lbs of vertical weight broke with almost 7,000lbs of vertical weight on it and was already over its 21,000lb gross with 2 cars on it?.....say it ain't so?

@WilcoxGarageRecovery Год назад

You clearly must know more than we do about that style of hitch. We thought it was odd and had never seen one before that allowed it to swivel on the goose ball and the 5th wheel (which we're assuming is not correct), but yeah, those weights would make a difference!

@shauncollins2017 Год назад

@@WilcoxGarageRecovery Yea its an RV 5th wheel plate. RV 5th wheels are designed to allow for pivoting so the Travel Trailer doesn't twist and tear itself apart. Plus most 5th Wheel Travel Trailers have a relatively light pin weight. A lot of Hotshot Car Haulers think they can utilize them with these 3/4 car trailers. Thats a Kaufman EZ4 and its curb weight is right at 11,000lbs. So figure it probably has a 3,000lb pin weight, the hitch only has a 5,000lb pin weight rating. That only allows for 2,000 additional pounds of pin weight. This driver had a BMW X6M and a Volkswagen Tiguan forward of the axles which would probably equate to around 6,000 additional pounds transferring to the pin. So just this load he probably had around 9,000lbs of pin weight. And I'm sure this isn't the first time he's had that kind of weight on the trailer and hitch. It was only a matter of time before this happened.

@WilcoxGarageRecovery Год назад

@@shauncollins2017 Totally makes sense now! This was an Enterprise rental truck because the driver's 2022 Dodge was at the dealer getting worked on, so not sure if they supplied him with the hitch that was being used or not. I believe his Dodge had a permanent 5th wheel by the way he talked, so who knows where the blame is gonna be pointed.

@streetsmart1164 Год назад

Couldn’t help but notice, that the only two cars on that trailer , were both riding the upper deck. How much stress is that hitch expected to handle, with no lower vehicle weight , to help anchor the trailer’s wheels to the pavement. Besides that, the driver could get a false sense of security, with a trailer appearing empty, when looking into the mirrors. Driver is really lucky it all happened in a parking lot, and not on a highway turn.

@WilcoxGarageRecovery Год назад

He had just delivered 2 other vehicles and didn't have too far to go before delivering the other 2, so probably figured it would be fine. His truck was at a dealer being worked on, and this was an Enterprise rental truck. Not sure whether they supplied the hitch or not.... but yeah, bad situation any way you look at it.

The ram with cummins is to heavy to go sideways when pulling a heavy load so as the cheby as it is built like a rock.

It also said to go slow through turns and uneven ground to avoid a rollover. What happened is unfortunate and obviously more so for the driver, but it's also an opportunity to learn something. Nice job cleaning up the mess safely. Nobody was hurt and at the end of the day that's what matters.

Looks like someone took a turn a little too fast.

On a positive note, the accident saved someone from the pain and suffering of owning a BMW.

I haul cars with a wedge. A lot of these type of roll overs happen when the driver doesn't move that top car down to the bottom deck. On a wedge it's a bad move. On a 4 car like this one it's even worse. Live and learn. Glad no one was hurt.

Those car trailers that carry vehicles way up in the aire above the center of gravity are a hazard. Must have seen 200 of them flip like this. Yet hotshot guys never take heed and keep using them

Bmw can be fixed, but that, volkswagen is totaled.

@michaelgood1791 Год назад

That BMW is totaled. It can be fixed but it exceeds the % to fix. It is totaled.

Agree, the BMW is a high dollar vehicle, but there's a lot of damage there for what we expect are high dollar replacement parts, too.

$3.75 for diesel 😮. That's cheap

Correct me if I'm wrong but, wouldn't it have been better to take the BMW off the trailer at the gas station and tow the car hauler away empty? The only thing that keeps a trailer upright is its wheels, since the hitch is too narrow to have a stabilizing effect (kind of like how it's difficult to stand on just one foot). And with the BMW all the way forward and up high, the trailer has a higher center of gravity, and a turn places a lot torque on the trailer's chassis that transfers to the outside wheels of the trailer, putting it at risk for flipping on its side. I'd assume that you would want to place the BMW towards the back some more so that it's lower to the ground, or have at least one other car on the trailer, so that the center of gravity is lowered

We had less than a mile to tow it to our shop all in a 35mph zone. If we would have had to take it further, then yes we would have either adjusted the vehicle or removed it. The metal mesh flooring was pulled up near the middle of the trailer, so we had to use a sledge to hammer the spots back down before we could even remove the BMW.

Makes sense, thanks for the response and stay safe out there
