It Is What It Is. Our Equipment Breaks Too! Lifting a Lift

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching. OK, so this is a little different. Our Peterbilt 579 road tractor, unit #17, that pulls our Trail-Eze TE801 trailer, had loaded a piece of equipment and was delivering it for a customer when the hydraulic pump on the truck sprung a leak. Meaning that the driver, Kenny, couldn't unload the equipment at the delivery location. I sent Mike to contain the small spill. Kenny had shut off the valve from the hydraulic oil tank as soon as he noticed the leak. Mike and Kenny believed that the pump's shaft seal had gone bad and was not repairable on-site, so, I take our Peterbilt 389X with a Miller Industries Century 1150R rotator to unload the SkyJack SJ66 boom lift for our customer. Before anyone asks, NO, we did not charge our customer for using the Rotator to unload the equipment. This was our equipment failure and was on use. It is what it is. Mechanical equipment fails, breaks, malfunctions...even ours. It happens. The main things are that nobody was injured, our customer was taken care of, and the small hydraulic oil spill was cleaned up. We later discovered that Kenny and Mike were correct and it was a pump seal failure. So, now our trailer is inoperable waiting on a $2.00 shaft seal that has to be ordered!!! Oh well, again, it is what it is.
I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

This doesn't have anything to do with this video.. but I laid a big truck over on the main street of Scott City back in I think 1999 it was loaded with 40 thousand pounds of rolls of paper and his dad and probably Ron came and sit it back up no damage.. that was way before any rotater.. but It was very impressive watching them work...Ron had one hell of a teacher his dad was very good..RIP to his dad

@Rwalt61 2 года назад

Yes. I've been watching Ron's channel for a couple of years and they really know their stuff. If I was a young one just getting into the business I would hope my boss and mentor would be someone like Ron and his dad.

Breakdowns are a fact of life, not matter what the equipment is. A few weeks ago, my SUV was in the shop for brakes, so I drove my old reliable F150. I got 45 miles away from home, got off the interstate and tried to downshift from 5th gear to 4th gear (manual tranny) and the shifter wouldn't move, ended up being a broken shift fork and worn out synchronizers. Rebuilt now and back on the road.

@1978garfield 2 года назад

I like how you reassured your employee it wasn't their fault. I have worked at places where everything was my fault and it wasn't much fun. Somehow I made it rain, made UPS loose a package or caused a part to be on backorder.

@JS-cp1qk 2 года назад

I don’t even watch reg tv shows anymore, I’m totally hooked on watching your videos now! The first one I watched was your first job after your dad passed and seeing what a kind christian man you are hooked me. I’ve enjoyed every video, especially the one of you & dad recovering the van out of the nat’l forest (last one with him) and I just cried! Also enjoyed one of wedding vows renewed, which I also cried, your videos are wholesome and very uplifting. God bless you, your beautiful family, your workers and your business! I lost my husband in January last year, one day after his 77th bday and 4 months shy of 45 yrs married. I truly love you all!

I was in a situation where the tow company had to have a tire repair midway through a tow, so yes your equipment is subject to the same issues as the drivers you go to help. And it doesn't matter how well maintained a vehicle is, there's always something that goes out. Kudos to you and your awesome crew. Stay safe. 🙏

@leonsutliffe9572 2 года назад

Have ypu thought about numbering the cabinets on the rotator? Then when youre working with other people on your crew and need to direct someone to get something all you have to tell them is a number, rather than describing the location. Also, i love the arrow on the inside of that front cabinet door, really smart idea, and helps keep peolpe safe.

@2H80vids 2 года назад

I noticed that arrow the first time I watched the rotator and thought it was a great idea. $750,000 worth of machine and it's a couple of leds that impressed me.😂 With the storage cabinets; first thing I thought of was to organise things so that the same gear is in the same locker on every truck. The flaw there though is that the trucks are all designed differently(different cabinets, different equipment) so your idea might be a good compromise. I often wonder if some extra storage could be added, especially to the rotator. There's so much gear on that truck, the compartments often look overcrowded. Some great ideas have been used to store equipment but I'm guessing that Ron would love to have another couple of cupboards. Of course, however much space you have, you'll always manage to fill it.👍😁

I used to work for a Natural Gas and Propane company. I was setting 1000 gal propane tank with 1000 lbs concrete slabs under the legs on each end. What using a 1975 GMC 4x4 on. 6500 chassis. Had the tank just over the hole when the main hose from the pump broke. The tank was swinging in the air for almost 4 hours while the mechanic got a hose made for it. The crane part was a Pitman Hydro Lift. The next truck crane they got was a Ford F 750 with a National 500 crane. Had both front and rear outrigger. The GMC only had front outriggers. We used to support the rear with 4x4’s to stabilize the truck. Just thinking that was almost 40 years ago. In Miami Florida. I used to like setting tanks.

As we slowed down to change lanes and go around one I saw the driver of one the trucks grab a 5 (10?) gallon fuel can off his truck and start dumping it into the other truck. I wonder how long the other guy heard about that one?

As always, great work! I love how you're patient with all your crew and work hard to teach any who don't already know how to do certain tasks on the job. Also I enjoy watching the high speed at the end because it really shows you how much stress the weight of that machine puts on the Landoll trailer and then when it shifts from that to the Tator how much force the driver's side of the rotator was taking on from the weight. I know it's designed for that and is supposed to do that, but it's always so gradual in real time you don't quite notice just how much the suspension and other components flex!

Unknown failures can happen anytime through no fault of your own. Hydraulic hoses are very susceptible as they are pressurized many times and are also flexing which causes unseen damage within the hose. It could be beneficial to form a schedule to replace such items on a scheduled basis, similar to oil changes, but not as often. Your vehicles look very well maintained congrats on that, You take pride in what you do, my suggestion is only that, a suggestion. Keep up the good work.

So many pieces of equipment are designed by engineers but they don't think about how someone may have to pick them up. Lifting eyes that are made into the casting does make it much easier. Were I worked there were some pieces of equipment to figure out how to pick up until a fixture could be designed to help. I was one of many crane operators who went through the same situations.

@ctclark1 2 года назад

To be fair, those eyes in the base weren't put there with lifting in mind, since the need to pick these boom lifts up is super rare and probably not recommended by the manufacturer, they're really just meant for tie-down on transport.

Safer, no.. regrettably. More epic video showing the tator skills.. definately.

All I could think was it could have been in a far worse place and under far worse circumstances. It's always interesting to watch your problem solving and how things work. You enjoy a good challenge. Thank you for sharing another great video. Stay safe and God bless.

Like you said Ron anything mechanical is going to break down at some point in time. Ron thank very much for another awesome video. Nice clean up job. May God bless you and your family also all your worker's.

You're absolutely right. Sometimes even a mechanic has vehicle trouble, just have to deal with it and move on.

Its funny that you puts this vid up. I just saw a heavy wrecker with its hood up but had a rig hooked up on the shoulder. Its all bound to break sooner or later and we cant plan the break downs Nice to see your break downs too. Have a good weekend.

Unfortunately those things happen at least it’s not raining or snowing and your arc enemy wasn’t in the way! Stay safe.

you might think about a portable hydraulic pump to run the trailers { porta-power } setup ? look after yourselves 👍👍 from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I am sure it’s frustrating when equipment breaks, but at least you have the equipment that can solve the problem. Nice to get out of the office and not be on the highway. Good practice for when you are on the highway. It pays to have swampers to help with rigging. Glad it didn’t break while the wheels were not pulled forward and the tilt engaged.

Great work as always! When my truck was new the PTO pump leaked twice and both times they changed the seal and on the third one they replaced the whole pump. Things will definitely break and all you can do is fix it and move on.

Isn't it always the brand new machines that always break down the first time they're heavily run. Half of the new tractors, seven or so, I have bought has always atleast sprung a leak somewhere.
