What the heck is an Iver Tool??

I've got a lot of question about the pile of brackets in my toolbox, and although I've used it quite a few times, I haven't yet used it on a job that was filmed for RU-vid. Well today that finally changed and I'm able to show how it works on an actual truck. The Iver Tool allows for much better weight distribution across your own wrecker, while also making it easier to hookup to low trucks, and also gives you a very string recovery point when needed.

@@CaseyLaDelle Up north of the border here we have what's called the "C train", which is like an A train double, except the converter has two pintles that hook onto the rear of your trailer and basically functions as a frame extension with a 5th wheel.

Iver has made a great notch in towing manufacturing that even the larger manufacturers have not thought about?

@historykzg6747 6 месяцев назад

When I was towing in Europe we used a "VDZ set" its quite similar to Ivel tool. It had ist own adapters for tow bar, lots of EU truck have a screw in tow hooks and air ride front axle + low front bumper... It was nice to use just screw appropriately "bolt" then turn a locking nut, screw on a hook and just hook to tow bar with proprietary adapter. + it had its own adapter for witching out a truck. And it wasn't less expensive than Ivel Tool.

This is why they set the OBD standards back in the late 80's. All the auto manufacturers were doing different computers and interfaces and not allowing access to the tools to diagnose their cars unless you were a dealership. Even now i still have to pay a thousand dollars or more to update my ITC Genesys (funny how that is a common name) with siftware and interface chips. Just dont have to buy a new adaptor cord every time they decide.

Nice system. The front points on the cross member is similar to what we use in the army. Every vehicle has the big D shaped tow point on the front and back to winch from or lift from. We have lift tow adaptors that hook straight to them rather than the having the fork adaptors. So much simpler and safer system then using forks or chain adaptors

That sure works great. I'm sure once you start towing a lot more aerodynamic trucks it's going to pay off in just potential body damage.

@Timooooooooooooooo 6 месяцев назад

I'm not an expert, but I know in Europe we have a similar system that will even steer along with the tow truck. That means they can leave the truck they're towing completely on the ground. No extra weight or height. They only need to lift up to back, because then the steering doesn't work correctly. It's very cool!

@CaseyLaDelle 6 месяцев назад

You can flat tow with this as well

@Timooooooooooooooo 6 месяцев назад

I may have commented on this before, but I think the shorts would be better if you narrated over them, rather than playing music. Though I am glad to see that you are making an effort to capitalize on that venue as RU-vid suggested.

@maximes-p8291 6 месяцев назад

I like the idea of the Iver tool, my only concern i have seen so far is the safety chain hookup, i was always told not to install safety chains at the same place as you pick up the truck, as if the main hookup fail the safety chains are useless. In that case if the pin in the tow hook slot failed, the safety chains have 0 effects. thanks for sharing !

@cclngthr 6 месяцев назад

What about having that tool used with front air ride suspension? I would be concerned about having the airbag over extended with the front axle hanging off that without chaining it up to prevent that. The rear would be easy to secure the drive axle assembly up because it is more accessible but the front isn't like that. With spring suspension, it is easier to use the tool to tow the truck off the tow pin locations.

@CaseyLaDelle 6 месяцев назад

You chain the axle up just like you do on the rear. The front is very accessible by simply opening the hood, which you have to do to supply air anyways
