Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, we take a little slow time at the shop and use that time wisely by educating and training some of our crew. Oscar, Brad, Gavon, Kenny and I all participate in a rarely used recovery method called "the clothesline method". Watch the video and you will understand the meaning of the clothesline. This is a very unique and surprisingly dangerous maneuver. There is an enormous amount of stress being placed on the main line that lifts the car as well as stress placed on the booms of the trucks. Even though this may look simple, it's actually quite complex when you start doing all the math that goes along with the geometry and physics in play here. With that said, we still make a car fly!!!! LOL. At least it looks that way. At one point in the video, you can see where we had some observers watching us while we trained. One is never too old to learn!!! And the person who THINKS they know it all...well... I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

My common analogy, "there are many ways to reach 10". I could have approached this (any) job several different ways. The approach method is important, but more important is achieving the desired result, safely.
Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

Best place to train is in your yard were you are able to control the variables and there is no time stress on the crew. Great video.

@av8scuba Год назад

Your knowledge of the physics and real-world applications is extraordinary! Thank you for the videos. I was ready to start a towing/recovery service in mid-MO a few years ago, but had a stroke and now it is just a dream. I live it through you.

@starlawilson4103 Год назад

Now if you can catapult it onto a rollback....I'll be REALLY impressed!!

Busts out the back windshield and headache rack😅

@jonathanbair523 Год назад

Don't temp the miracle worker! LOL

@seanconlin8712 Год назад

Ron that was very informative. Is that the same technique used to roll a trailer that's on its side when you can close too many lanes on the highway.

@anthonytheitalian2863 Год назад

That’s a really good idea Hey Ron could we see that done soon 😂😂😂😂

@brettmorton7365 Год назад

I dare say you could lower it directly onto one if you had space at the time.. ya gotta drop it somewhere, might as well be somewhere useful!

@Centfla60 Год назад

I love the sound of trumpets in the morning.

@charleendunn5446 Год назад

I am a 76 year old female senior and I love watching your videos! Always fascinating!

@DavidSellars-b8l Год назад

Congratulations, you have used one of many configurations of high-lead logging. You could also accomplish this with just the rotator if you have a large tree, piece of heavy equipment, etc. to take the place of the Western Star (tail hold). It could be done with either two or three winches. For harder pulls, using a second truck on the D-rings on the rear of the rotator unit (not the truck but the boom) can be used to keep the truck from floating. The further the car is below the tip of the boom and tail hold the better.

@rickeyratliff1356 Год назад

I've seen that done with rope rescue. Using Stoke baskets. Never seen it done with the wrecker service before.

@jonathanbair523 Год назад

For a camp ground I went to as a teenager. Month before the place opened for the season, we did prep work for a control burn of the grass field for the tents... Weekend of the burn we had a refresher on the pick-up truck/pumper. With that for hose handling we had a bucket filled with concrete and we played "spray a war" where we used the hose lines to try and shoot the bucket over to the other side... The next day we did the burn.. LOL Anyways seeing them do that reminded me of the hose refresher... LOL... We met a month early as we only got together on weekends so Saturday was the 1 day we all where there a week.

@markwadkins7758 Год назад

Trailmater out in Utah has used it for off-road recovery purposes. The owner of the wrecker has a youtube channel that should still include the video.

@Ozzy83666 Год назад

I love the training videos. All the "bad stuff" has already happened and in the past. Have you considered getting your teaching certification and training others besides your own crew? Your experience, professionalism, your commitment to safety, and your patience... you would make a great educator

@hirisk761 Год назад

just when i thought I'd seen everything, Ron surprises us with something new😊

@wandalbowen8101 Год назад

Good to watch you train and love all your videos.

@Abby_Y_12 Год назад

Stay safe out there Ron!!

@lerkzor Год назад

Ron, I gotta say that 'do not attempt this' got a chuckle out of me. 1. I do not have ANY of the equipment with which to try a stunt like this, and 2. If I DID have the equipment, you can bet your bottom dollar that I would LOOK for a situation to try it! Love your videos, thanks for sharing your work with us. God bless!

@SuperSiggiboy Год назад

I had the exact same thought. I would definitely attempt this if I had the equipment

@hamshackleton Год назад

We used to do this all the time, but with moving ships, in the R.N. for transferring stores and fuel across, at sea.

@kevinharris1914 Год назад

Fascinating training lesson for your team. With the right equipment & safety in mind, any job / task can be accomplished.

@Badger-w8u Год назад

Very interesting Ron . Never fail to learn . Far better than the junk on TV .

@DandDClark Год назад

Don't forget that in addition to being in the dark, in the rain, underwater, and muddy, it would also be underneath a power line!

@julieerwin3896 Год назад

That was fun to watch. You teach your crew very well. The safety protocol is amazing. You all work very well together and synchronize with each other very well. Great job Ron, Kenny, Oscar and the rest of the crew. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

@n4gix Год назад

As always Ron, I Thoroughly enjoyed your "classroom exercises." Keep up the good work and training! God Bless you, your family and crew. May He keep you all safe out on the dangerous highways and by-ways.

@danielcollier4401 Год назад

Agreed

@Rags722 Год назад

Watching this, as I noticed your boots at 11:40 and I realized just how lucky you are. No wrapping yourself up in a suit and tie every day to go to the office. You are your own boss so you never have to worry about a layoff. You get to dress in jeans, a comfortable shirt and well worn boots. You have a loving family, employees that enjoy their jobs and have a decent boss. Sure, you have to work in some crappy conditions, but on the other hand you live in a beautiful part of this great country and in nice weather get to enjoy the fresh air while working. God Bless you Ron! Like Waylon sang "Got my first Guitar when I was 14, Now I'm over 30 and still wearing jeans" Deep in my 70's and I am too! LOL

@danbrooks8241 Год назад

awesome demonstration of a rarely used but highly effective technique for a unique scenario

@gustavostensson1048 Год назад

18:00 it is possible to use a double line by connecting two singel lines in parallel from the rotator and use another winch for guidence, but I guess the limeting factor in that case would be ancor weight of both trucks

@wroscel Год назад

I think you would also have to put separate blocks on each line too, to ensure they balance the load. But you would probably want to run the sling through them jointly so they see the load from the same direction at all times.

@Dan-uv5lw Год назад

Good morning from Hot, Hazy & Humid New Hampshire. Stormy weekend ahead.

@MGower4465 Год назад

Give it a week and you'll have snow

@texasgilley9533 Год назад

Good training exercise for the crew. Looks like Oscar’s working out pretty good for you.

@AWRay1300 Год назад

Excellent technique for the extreme application where nothing else will work. It would help if both anchors were better matched or at different heights so that everything was at a more even level and balance. As you were setting up, it became obvious what was happening with the rigging. Excellent training opportunity for all.

@bryanyankulov3162 Год назад

God Bless America 🇺🇸. & Thank you Ron and team.

@BulletNoseBetty Год назад

Easily the most amazing video I've seen from you, Ron! When I saw the disclaimer to not try this at home, my inner child immediately thought, "Yeah, but that would be so COOL to do it with my Hot Wheels cars!" (Does Hot Wheels make a rotator? LOL)

@arthurlagasse1994 Год назад

If not they should! Especially in Midwest's Towing regalia!

@brettmorton7365 Год назад

I thought that too... I just don't happen to have 2 wreckers laying around, otherwise I'd be out the back right now 😂😂😂 Lego makes one!

@Embermist69 Год назад

Don’t think they do, but I know Lego has a Technic tow truck you can buy. About 150 dollars the last time I knew. Does look and kind of act like a rotator. I personally haven’t bought one yet. Someday I will though.

@patriciacromwell933 Год назад

Cool job....

@PetrolJunkie Год назад

I saw that demostrated at a trade show once. It looks like the most impractical thing you can do with two tow trucks until we had a tank that needed to located in a spot we couldn't reach with any of our trucks. Did it once, never did it again. lol I like to watch all the training videos and demos the manufacturers put out, they come up with some really crazy techniques.

@alanstant9356 Год назад

Very awesome training video Ron. It always helps to have the know how when you need it to complete the job safely. God bless you guys.

@curtusw Год назад

I learn something new every time I see a video from you. As a trucker it is good to know how you guys do things

@mikemyers3515 Год назад

I did do the math with the angles a few years ago. Decided I was not excited to ever try it. Much respect for you for adding it to your toolbox.

@Gdone Год назад

Impressive to watch anyone that has mastered skills in their trade and teaching future workers the easy ways to do the job. Thank Ron and everyone like him

@Samanthareneeheart1 Год назад

Work Ron that's different & cool!

@danaskubic2145 Год назад

That's a very unique feature of towing technique, fun video, thanks for sharing.

@rcatyvr Год назад

Thought about it and yes you can use a double clothesline, of sorts. On your white line, put three snatch blocks and hook the middle one to the WesternStar. Conversely, you could use two main lines with just one snatch block each between the two trucks. The rest follows the same idea as you just displayed but with two straps lifting, one to each of the remaining snatch blocks. If the vehicle being lifted was long, say about 30-57 foot, you could put the slings further apart to spread the load and lift front and back at the same time. In this case, as the snatch blocks would want to center, you would put your yellow line controllers attached to d-rings in the travelling snatch blocks with the straps for yaw control as well as controlling the sliding. Anyway, just a thought.

@normanlee5003 Год назад

It’s great to still see tow companies like everyone at Midwest truck doing on the job training that’s how I learned back in 2001 when I started driving a wrecker at the junk I worked by taking trucks in yard learning how to hook them up and load and unload 23:31

@nonaloeffler308 Год назад

How fun that was to wash. I bet everyone had fun watching and learning. Great job guys....

@bryanyankulov3162 Год назад

I must admit this is a true teachable moment. Thank you Ron.

@jonathandeleon3866 Год назад

I am impressed to see that Ron.

@philippenaluna2312 Год назад

Well, that weren't no washout!!! A useful technique and well executed, albeit within a training setting. I shudder to think how it would play out in an emergency setting. That said, you and the Team, Ron, would make it work - and work well. Ever the consummate professional!! Greetings from the UK. God bless.

@karlreinke Год назад

You've basically made a "skyline" like what loggers use in the mountains for bringing logs to the landing to be loaded on to trucks. Genius!

@leslielyautey3972 Год назад

Now I've seen everything when I seen a car fly. Very interesting video. Thank you

@vernlemasters6504 Год назад

I wish I was younger so I could work for you. That horizontal line will have a huge amount of stress while lifting that car but with that light car it shouldn’t be a problem. Physics in action. I love it!

@aldenbackensto3858 Год назад

That was very informative and enjoyable as a former tow operator and having 9 years of experience I had never seen or heard of that form of recovery

Boys with toys. Love it Ron. 😎

@stevebarde8766 Год назад

Ron, I really appreciate your videos ... just to see the basics in your profession ... The clothesline method is cool to see ... and to teach your new guys 👍🏻😲👍🏻

@bevakathedementedraccoon Год назад

well thats a nifty party trick.. thanks for sharing Ron, it's nice to see the various methods you guys have to get awkward recoveries done.

@deweywilliams1257 Год назад

Ron, I enjoy your videos. This video looks like an early training video. Sure you have many suggestions. What problem I see is the lack of control when lowering the load. My humble opinion is to move the shuddle lines to the base of the trolley pulley and suspend the load by four webbing loops, such as rimslings. Then, control the load by a tag line. If you see a problem let me know the reason this will not work. I defer to your wealth of knowledge.

@camerazeye7923 Год назад

Really out of the box thinking there. i would imagine the stain on the lateral line would be extreme compared to just a lift. Makes me want to consider other ways of picking. Thanks Ron

@patnelson2283 10 месяцев назад

Awesome👍. Those boys can't learn any younger.

@woodyholland9865 Год назад

Excellent job, Ron. Boy scouts do it with logs :)

@chuckmoore1380 Год назад

Never seen this done before. But I can see its usefulness for situations when you are not able to just drag a vehicle out. Actually reminds me of another method I have seen on your channel - The slingshot method. Thanks for another interesting video. Stay safe and healthy.

@leegoldeneagle9003 Год назад

Fun thanks Ron God bless you too 🙏😊

@bobderemer5015 Год назад

You should have let the kids play with that technique while set up IMO. Still cool to watch. Thanks Ron.

@Mike_Gray68 Год назад

This is the same method we used in the Navy for underway repenishments (unreps). We would transfer pallets of supplys between ships that way. it was not an easy job on the recieving side. We had to pull the pallets over by hand.

@Feline_Frenzy53 Год назад

Fascinating, Ron. Thanks for presenting this.

@getzybreuer3691 Год назад

Thank you so much for the video please post more videos a week God bless

@erwinrommel1682 Год назад

Hallo from Albania

@dangerrangerlstc Год назад

The good thing is it looks like fairly quick set up. Easily controlled too. For exceptionally deep holes, could you put a second snatch block on the hook of the traveler, keep the top cable tight, but at an angle, cable to the top snatch block for lateral control from the upper boom, and the lower boom run a winch to the lower snatch block and down to the load? Would lift straight up that way.

@rickstewart9716 Год назад

Coolest thing I've seen in recovery!

@rickvandusen9271 Год назад

Could you two-part the “clothesline” and use two snatch blocks (one on each part) to lift the casualty?

@RonPratt Год назад

Yes, this was just so my crew understood the practice behind the principle. In a real-life situation, it is going to be difficult to get even one line across, but, yes, two would be ideal. Thanks for watching and God bless.

Cool demonstration , It must be hard to do training And keeping up with regular work flow.

@markfergerson2145 Год назад

Looking at the setup, for heavier loads it would be possible to run two “clotheslines” with a snatch block on each to which to attach the sling, then lift and pull laterally as shown. Then your limiting factor would be the risk of tipping one or both trucks over…

@MikeBrown-ii3pt Год назад

"Do not attempt this"...No worries on my end Ron, I don't have the equipment, let alone the experience! As always, be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment!
