Q:What camera do you use?
A: I use the Go Pro Hero 7 Black Edition primarily. Often times you will see auxillary cameras in use. Those cameras include The Go Pro Hero 6, Hero, and DJI Mavic Pro Platinum
Q: How big Is your rotator?
A: It is a 50 ton Miller Industries Vulcan 950
Q: Does the carriage slide back like Ron Pratt's?
A: No, the carriage doesn't slide back due to strict weight laws in California. The sliding carriage will make the truck to heavy in CA
Q: Why do you only have 3 winches on the rotator?
A: Comes down to weight again as stated above
Q: How many trucks Does Plaza Towing have?
A: Currently more than 30
Q: Why must the driveshaft be removed to tow a vehicle?
A: When vehicles are not running the transmission is not receiving circulating lubricant. If the driveshaft is left installed, the transmission, which is not receiving lubricant, is still spinning. This allows it to get very hot which eventually will cause major damage to the transmission. Therefore, removing the driveshaft completely eliminates the transmission from spinning. Simply leaving it in neutral is not sufficient since the transmission still spins in neutral.

Curious as to why you didn’t use the pivot point to pull it straight back the first time. You would no have caused the extra damage on the rear fenders at the bed.

@@PepesTowingService Josh you need to check out Sumter Wrecker service in South Carolina Hal and his top man Wilbert use older V70's no taters. Recently Hal who is a volunteer firefighter took an older spare fire truck out to Mayfield Kentucky. He racked up some big miles towing it out there. He thought about loading it up on a Landoll but they packed the fire truck with so much emergency gear it would have been overweight. Keep up the great videos and be glad the last fishing trip was in shallow water.

@Azlehria 2 года назад

It's not entirely perspective: pickup trucks actually tend to lift nose-down because they're front-heavy. I _almost_ learned that the hard way when I was starting out on a two-post lift in the shop.

@royceanderson2614 2 года назад

I wondering why the Flatbed didn't do the whole recovery process by it's self in less than half the time ?

@samn5362 2 года назад

I depends on how much the vehicle weights and how much force it will take to remove it. So the flat bed could do it but it would put a lot of un needed stress on the flat bed. Also it depends on what the police want they can make the call of what vehicle they want to do the recovery ( in reason )

@OffWalrusCargo 2 года назад

Cause the didn't know how far of a drop it was. If was a cliff edge the flatbed couldn't do it. Plus the rotator reduces the damage of recovery.

@paulmatakovich9096 3 года назад

Question? Why wouldn’t you rig the spreader bar up, 4 point it at each tire and just pick it up and put it on the flat bed.

@plazatowing 2 года назад

Had to bring it closer first to do that. The truck was easily 15-20 ft out of reach for the rotator to lift it straight up otherwise yes absolutely that would have been the best plan, given that it was out of reach we elected to winch it as close as possible and then lift it out without a spreader bar because the angle we were able to get being it was so close to us allowed us to get very high above it reducing the veer angle. Hopefully that clears it up

I run the rim slings from the outside in and run straps back under the truck so the straps come out under the bumper and hitch to lift it so there’s no risk for even a scratch on the bed. I’m a collision repair shop but that’s what I do when I’m in your situation

Exactly if one of our operators did that they would be looking for a new job. That was a beginner recovery. Just goes to show just because you have the half a million for the truck doesn't mean you should be operating it.

!. I would of used a dead pull from the out rigger from the start and would of had it up where you could of lifted it onto the roll back in the time it took you to rig to the rims to heck with hurting the bed. It's gonna bend no matter what but the spreader bar will keep it away from the truck.

@joshuaandrson4803 2 года назад

Yea that is crazy sloppy work part of towing recovery is getting what ever it is out safely and without damaging it any further obviously in some situations we can't avoid doing certain things. But that was completely avoidable. Just because it's a wreck does not mean you can rip it out any which way and fuck it up further. If one of our operators did that they would be looking for a new job.

question on D-ring shackles. Do you feel that any given new D-ring shackle should be up to snuff, ie that it will handle the weight that it claims it's rated for? I ask because I've seen some claim to not trust imported ones from big-box stores even with the rating markings embossed on them.

@robt2151 2 года назад

Having worked in dismantling and salvage of a previous generation of vehicles I am surprised and disappointed at how readily modern vehicles get written-off. Maybe it's expensive labour cost, excessive complexity or potential litigation in the US but (judging by the visible damage) in many countries that would be considered repairable. Be that or not, it is incumbent on the towing company not to cause avoidable damage to what is still someone else's property. An astute insurance assessor might be tempted to offset the reduction in salvage value against the towing company's bill.

Looking at the way the guard rail is rolled up it might be possible that it had already been damaged previously.
