Using our Miller Industries Century 1150R rotator on a Peterbilt 389, our Peterbilt 579 pulling our Trail-Eze TE801 ramp, float, trailer, and our Dodge Ram traffic control unit to clear up an incident scene after an alleged thief stole a new PJ dump trailer loaded with a compact BobCat tracked loader (skid steer) and a Gehl mini excavator. Apparently, the alleged thief was seen pulling off the edge of the road and getting stuck. Then the alleged thief dropped the trailer in an attempt to get free, but the trailer rolled away and rolled over with the equipment inside and the alleged thief drove off in a hurry leaving his/her mess for us to clean up.

One of the best parts of watching Ron's vids.....the corny jokes, and him laughing at himself....all while staying professional :)

@infoanorexic 3 года назад

For those that wonder ... if an engine has sat out of it's normal operating position for any length of time, oil can leak past the pistons inside, into the combustion chamber. Oil won't compress, so any cylinder rolling to compression while it is full of oil gets fluid locked. Attempting to start them can result in broken pistons, bent rods ... major damage requiring replacement of very expensive parts or the entire engine. I knew a few farmers that found that out the hard way, on grain trucks or tractors that had been tipped over in the field. When the machine was righted, they insisted, in spite of warnings, that the tow truck operator pull start them. A grain truck ended up with a rebuilt engine, a tractor ended up getting parked in a fence row for many years.

@RonPratt 3 года назад

Yep, exactly why we don't attempt to start them. Thanks for giving the viewers a good explanation. God bless.

@infoanorexic 3 года назад

@@RonPratt I just remembered a bit ago, having a Dakota pickup that the fuel injector got stuck open. It got seriously loaded up on gas, and I tried to start it a few times before I realized what was happening. About a year (and two transmissions) later, the truck started burning and blowing massive amounts of oil, equivalent to a full oil change every 500 miles. Long story shortened, the space between the piston rings got sheared away from the rest of the piston on all four cylinders, and the rings had no support. So ... Any time the engine suddenly starts hard fighting the starter, it needs to be investigated. Pull plugs on a gas engine, or pull injectors from a diesel, spin and see what comes out (and be ready to clean up a mess ).

@Farm_fab 3 года назад

For those that don't know, part of the liability factor has to do with the fact that the engine/hydraulic oil may have leaked out, so that operating the equipment in that condition might be devastating to the equipment. It's always best to assume the worst case scenario and avoid the risk.

@spudgamer6049 3 года назад

Or, with equipment on its side like that, there may be oil or water in the cylinders. Very easy way to bend a rod, blow a head gasket, or worse, trying to spin an engine with fluid in the cylinders.

@Harry-zz2oh 3 года назад

Thanks for the clarification. Some of us, who never (at least we try) work with this equipment don't usually think about damaging the equipment. Your comment helps us understand the other aspects of recovery work.

@Chrisamic 3 года назад

@@spudgamer6049 Exactly. There's no telling what further damage you could do just by trying to turn the engine over. There's almost certainly at least one cylinder that started to fill up with oil while the equipment was on its side. Assume the worst and plan accordingly.

@chriskulpa4056 3 года назад

Not only fluids in the cylinders but no oil to pump until it's uprighted as well and possibly as others said the fluids leaked out or ait in places there shouldn't be for a dry start. best to let them settle back to where the fluids should be. My sis rolled a pickup once and I bought it back from the insurance company because it was still in decent shape. Took all the plugs out and ran the starter a few cycles to push fluids out then left the cylinders open for a few days for things to evaporate as much as possible

@davez2989 3 года назад

You realize a lot depends on the day, time, hr, location, size of truck going out, who's calling police VS customer, where the work is located. I can see weather also playing a role. My state requires operators to list charges with them but I suspect those are worst case. Towing moms car to the shop is going to be different then semi jacked knifed in a big pile of mess on the highway. million $ truck VS 150k is going to charge different rates. Had my towing insurance call me a tow once and like 2 hrs latter the tow company literally 400 feet down from me shows up. I mentioned to the driver and the 2+ hrs and the driver and I started to talk and he tells me the Insurance company game they deal with. Basically ins company calls tow company and low balls them like tow car ten miles for $50 they say no way too little "don't blame them" so after they call around they call again but this time it's $80 and everyone is like no. Eventually the ins company just pays what ever the tow operator quotes. So my tow was like 450 he said, If I would have called it would have been about $80 to 100 depending on the miles. He told me then had a simple hook, miles, time based fee for my kind of job.

Ron looks over trailer; nothing tied down. Ron says, "oh KAY" lol Looks like a dump n run boss! Watched this on my lunch. Only got to like the 22 minute marker. This was an awesome run. Job well done son!

GOOD & SAFE JOB Ron as we seen the equipment was stolen along with the trailer, I'm sure the owner was glad to get his equipment & trailer back even though there looked like minimum damage from it all being turned over. Hopefully they found the ones who stole all this equipment & trailer

Would would think a engineer would come up with a locking system on these trailers so they can't be stolen. Too many of these are be stolen here lately. These are people's lives that are being taken. Thanks for sharing

There are locking systems but never say "can't be stolen" to a thief- thats just a challenge.

As this pandemic crisis continues, you'll see more & more of this kind of stuff. Desperation brings out the worst in people. I tow for U-Haul & have seen my recovery numbers from people who never return equipment go up 400% from a year ago.

I feel for the elder folks, when they used to do the heavy stuff and are regulated to traffic control My body, at 78, has given out. Mind still good.

Before I go any further here been watching Ron Pratt (hope I got that right) lol all afternoon and must say a few things. I’ll start off with no matter the problem he gets the job done and don’t complain. Hard worker believe me now days that’s hard to find. After the job the way he signs off is a big plus, he seems so grateful and willing to help others. 99.9 of the guys driving toll trucks drive like they are king of the road and foul language every other word. Don’t get me wrong he might talk that way off camera, but he has enough respect not to do on camera. This guy looks like he’s got your back and believe me I’d have his back too. This guy I believe would be a friend and I would think many others out there would say the same. Keep safe out there and god bless you out there doing this work.

I'm impressed that whatever kind of truck was pulling that trailer was able to get out of that soft a shoulder, looks like they spun a good bit on thier way though.

I just love listening to the rotator lean into the load, governor comes up and the turbo starts singing... music to my ears!!

@joshuacaseltine1143 2 года назад

Mr. Pratt… I absolutely enjoy watching the videos you share sir! I have learned quite a lot of little things here and there with rigging the way you do it and talk through it while rigging. I know the chances are slim, how ever , if you would like a new student, let me know!! 😅
