Rotator recovery OVER a wall on the freeway. Watch as I use Hulk, my 50ton rotator, to fix a messy load shift on the freeway. The customer was hauling a 10ton crane counterweight that flew off the trailer, hit the back of his cab, and landed in-between the trailer and the wall. My first instinct was to park parallel to him and do the recovery from his driver side. Then I had the thought to take it up a notch and do the entire job from the freeway onramp on the opposite side.
By positioning my truck here, I was able to work the entire job without having to close down any additional lanes. Using the 5 degree tilt feature on this Miller rotator, I was able to level out my truck for a stable platform despite being on a steep embankment. The job was very fun with my usual out of the box thinking, and in no time we got the load corrected. The driver was only going to the next exit and made it safely.

I just can never get it in my head that those straps can lift that much weight.

@PepesTowingService 3 года назад

Straps are commonly used in the construction field by cranes a magnitude bigger than Hulk. A big 5/8" Grade 10 chain has a working load limit of just under 25,000lbs, and weighs a ton. Technology is amazing, isn't it?

@timothygeiger437 3 года назад

I do flatbed, I secure equipment all the time. You can't always use straps, but many loads you can. The straps I have actually have a higher working load limit than the chains I have. The reason we use chains with some loads, the steel chain doesn't stretch, & metal against metal creates a "friction" which stops forward & rear movement. Obviously some loads like skidsteer loaders & similar must use chains. Straps are much lighter & alot faster to use though. Scientifically nylon is stronger than steel, which is why the straps have a higher working load limit!

@mdrailroad1688 3 года назад

Nicely thought out to keep the freeway open and the motorist rolling One thing I wasn't a fan of was Dave spending way to much time In what I call the kill zone Everything Dave did could of been done while being on top the trailer Be Safe !

@silentepsilon888 3 года назад

You got me in this video, full center at 20:48 !! 😂 I drove by this recovery and from a distance saw the boom on the other side. Immediately thought 'This is crazy, feels like a Pepe's Tow" and then saw a guy in orange standing on the trailer, thought "this body, shape, height, gotta be Dave, no doubt". Where am I? in the silver Dodge Van (classy car for a guy, right) in full frame as you pan the camera, perfectly following me down the freeway. 👍

@PepesTowingService 3 года назад

LOL I would have never in a million years figured you for being a soccer mom van guy 😂 Based on your comments I figured something more modern or refined, even old school.

That slick over the wall was amazing. You made a lot of people happy. DOT, Law enforcers and all of the commuters who didn’t have to deal with two closed lanes.

@colinl9018 9 месяцев назад

Lucky that brick wall didn't fall over from the vibrations from HULK. The only thing that appeared to be holding it up was cobwebs. Can't believe that those counterweights were so lightly chained straight to the floor of the trailer!! That was an accident ready to happen. That guys chains were like shoelaces.

@lawnfreak3543 9 месяцев назад

Don't want to know what the dot fine was that's one of the most dangerous reckless things I've ever seen I'm amazed CHP let that drive down the road like that the bill you guys charge the trucking company was probably cheaper than the dot fine

Josh Chain Hulk Chain Pepe Chain Possible names for your new strap.

@bgmckddy 3 года назад

20,000 lb counter weight with just 2 small chains?? That explains why it fell off the truck. Thank God it fell off there and not into traffic!! Good job with the simple/not simple save!! The beauty of the remote controls, you can operate the truck without being able to see the truck itself.

@PepesTowingService 3 года назад

Correct, two small horizontal supports but no vertical! As to operating the truck without seeing it, that's the beauty of knowing the ins and outs 100% of your truck. I know damn well Hulk could lift that much off the side at that distance, and with my platform set up I knew I wouldn't have to monitor it. Still, I would be able to "feel" it or see the boom in case it was having issues.

@mmiller1188 3 года назад

Looks like it slid into the truck then off the side! Driver hm self is lucky too.

@edwinarrachart8827 3 года назад

In the Netherlands we put rubber under the counterweights. It's more friction than the wood. And we chain it the rear and sides. The driver was lucky. Nice job.

Great job today Josh. How is your red flames truck coming alone since it got side swiped last Monday. I'm sure Dave misses his truck. Did you guys get the guy that hit Dave's truck. I hope you did from the numbers on the truck. It's fu**** up that he didn't stop. Josh you had me bust out laughing today when you said yea right no body says that. @18.22 Have a great week later. Love from your #1 fan Debra in Wilmington🥰🥰

@normdeplume6133 3 года назад

Appears driver hit the brakes and it slid forward and into the cab, then off onto the shoulder. Would not have happened if he had chained it down better. Maybe the next place he works will train him better. Wonder how much time he saved before starting the trip by not doing it right.

International there on the other side of the wall. I'd rather have Hulk (Peterbilt). I can say that, I hope, I'm retired; no connection to trucking or Towing

@handymansteve 2 года назад

even though you had gravity on your side, kinda curious why you didn't put some 4x4 or 6x6 cribbing under the passenger side outriggers before setting the platform, just to level the truck a bit.... nice work otherwise..... surprised that weight didn't knock that wall down when it hit, especially since it looks like single block stacks.. probably filled with concrete and rebar to top, with mortar between

@dennisconnolly1 6 месяцев назад

How in the heck did that weight flop off of his flatbed as heavy as it is, geez man! Josh's enthusiasm never gets old .. Oh I get it, it looks like that thing slid forward into the back of the cab then down to the ground .. Still that driver must have really stepped on the brakes hard to get something that heavy to slide, plus I don't think he had it anchored down properly ..

@TheUnknownDutchman 3 года назад

Nice video ! Just a stupid question; you now damn well what your truck can do. But don’t you want to have visuals on the truck (even if only with just one eye) to make sure traffic doesn’t run into your truck? I don’t want to imagine what would happen if that would be at the moment you have 20.000lbs on your truck. No sight would mean no time to react I’d think? Or is that the choice between closing two extra lanes on one hand vs a little risk on the other hand?

@mattpeterson4160 3 года назад

The guy is lucky that the counter weight didn't slide forward and knock the cab off. And is Michael Myers coming back to work for Pepe's this year?

@rd4660 2 года назад

Teslas are the new Prius’. Can’t tell you how many times I run into a Prius or Tesla in the #1 lane tooling along at the speed limit, milking the most efficiency from the electric motor. If you have a Prius or a freaking Tesla and you want to work your mileage mojo, don’t do it in the #1 lane and block the flow of traffic just to show off. In reality, we hate electric cars because the drivers are for the most part, self righteous pricks.

Your sling is a rigging chain. They have been around for tree work for a while just lower capacities. You could call yours a Hulk chain

Great video, Josh! Literally, no room for error!!! Hulk is a beast! Would have loved seeing him take a bite out of LA using his outriggers claws. Trent (Plaza Towing) uses them at 12:20 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MURNRj-udT8.html
