Big rig rollover on freeway (42,000lb coil falls off trailer)
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- A tractor trailer hauling a 42,000lb large coil overturned, causing the trailer to almost break in half. We responded with our 50ton and 75ton rotators to handle this job. Step one was to move the coil out of the way so we can upright the tractor and trailer in one shot.
Once upright, we split the units and towed the tractor with our 50ton rotator, while our 75ton rotator lifted the trailer and set it onto our Landoll. The company sent another truck to pick up the coil, which we loaded for him. I got to use my new synthetic rigging equipment which worked amazing; technology sure has come a long way for towers.

Old Dave just gets right to work once on scene--no messing around. Man is very confident in his abilities.
Thumbs up to your guys!
Hey Pepe's towing service! Best Heavy truck recovery channel on CZcams! Thanks for posting! Ride ride ride!
@SpyingDutchman Agreed, these dudes could probably do what they do with just 1 truck, but if ya got em, bill em out when you can. Can't really stand Pratt, don't see why people are so impressed with him. I've done more with less and seen older ops work miracles with suicide controlled Holmes mechanicals that are older than me.
As always thanks for the kind words Eric! I just finished a monster job this weekend that I'm so excited to post this coming Friday
@ I won't bash any other company, different strokes for different folks. As far as equipment goes, I could probably do most of what I do in a single heavy if that's all you gave me. But what it be as precise, smooth, controlled and fast? Hell no lol, it would take hours longer and I'd for sure have to block more lanes and risk over loading my truck. Our primary goal is safe and quick clearance. No one in the world is giving out trophies for using a less amount of trucks.
@@PepesTowingService I understand the YT rules, that's cool. You guys are in a very heavily populated metropolis where the highways are packed to the gills, I've been to CA. to visit family and it's insane the volume those roads see. So speed is key and you've basically got a captive audience. I'm in northern N.Y. and nobody is footing a bill for 3 trucks when 1 can do it, were lucky to have a 3rd guy on recoveries in 1 50T. I guess that's why guys with so many trucks won't talk pricing, and it's true nobody's handing out trophies for using less equipment but we don't work for trophies either. Getting the road open and surviving is job 1, job number 2 is getting paid without having to get a collection agency involved and a reasonable bill gets that job done beautifully. I know what a 35 and a 50 cost on a rollover here so I can ballpark what most jobs cost and I bet most o/o's here would leave their rig in a ditch and set it on fire to collect insurance before paying those bills on 3 heavy's. Doing more with less makes for a better operator, we got a generation coming up that had their common sense stolen by technology, it's scary.
Great recovery guys. Brings me back to my 11 years of steel hauling from WI to MI a few moons ago. I can relate to the heavy coil & busted up trailer. Most of the flatbeds today are mostly aluminum. They flex. They flex a lot. They can actually be bent up into almost looking like a pretzel, & when you release the freight weight, they spring back straight again. This shit scares the shit out of me. I remember actually going on off ramps with large curves in them & actually watching the coil shifting it's weight on the trailer sometimes causing wheels to come up in the middle of a turn. Learned real quick to slow her down. I did have a trailer break just like this one once when they loaded a 48,700 pound coil on my trailer. I was out in the parking lot, chaining the coil down & all of a sudden the trailer just jumped. Enough to scare me into looking at the frame structure underneath. Sure as shit, she had cracked. Right where the coil was sitting. I was able to get unloaded & spent the next 2 days figuring out what I was going to do with the trailer. JUNK!! Glad it happened before I set sail. Love your videos, keep up the good work.
No way was that trailer going to hold that much weight loaded in the middle!! NOT smart!! It's a very good thing that that steel roll landed on it's side!! Josh, Dave, Big Flipper and Hulk to the rescue for another textbook recovery!! And, ZERO further damage to anything!!!! Take pride in your ride and, take pride in the work that you do!! It's becoming a rare thing these days!! Job VERY well done you and Dave!!
@@arlisspropertyservicesllc5943 "Some" trailers are designed for that. Considering that the frame rail broke in half, I don't think that this is one of those trailers. I've been driving for 40 years and hauled a lot of coiled metal like this. I have personally seen 2 trailer frame fails like this at the Port of Portland. Fortunately, neither of them made it out of the port terminal.
I see stuff hauled wrong ALL THE TIME. I just seen one Friday where a guy was hauling a 64,000lb machine in the very front of his step deck two axle trailer lol, I'm sure you can already guess what happened there!
Pepe's Towing Service 😂🤣😂🤣 That’s what keeps you so busy!!!
21:40 Yeah, like how you guys back up what you preach, no additional damage and WOW, you are not kidding about tight space operations ! 42,000 pounds just inches from that retaining wall and Dave does not even blink, just cruises right along.
They have to set those coils in the center of the trailer to get the weight distributed between the trailer and tractor axles but it's very hard on the trailer, especially on a rough road.
Agreed, which is why accidents like this happen.
They should probably use shorter trailers for this...
@@wilfriedklaebe There are weight restrictions that require certain distances between axles. To weight the maximum of 80,000 pounds on 5 axles, there must be 51 feet between the center of the first axle and the last axle in most states. If the only cargo hauled was coils like this, they could use a longer tractor with a shorter trailer or a trailer with more axles. Most trucks haul a wide variety of cargo so they use long trailers. Extra axles add weight and cut down on the payload that can be carried. There are specialized trailers to haul coils but the truck will likely run empty on the return trip and there aren't always coils to haul.
I loved hauling coils when I pulled flatbed. I’ve hauled quite a few 40k+ coils
Go pro is doing a fine job at night. The accessory lights on the trucks is a huge help. 👍🏻
It also helped that I raised the minimum ISO to 400 before shooting. By default I have it at 100 since I'm used to filming in the sun
Credit for excellent professional work under difficult conditions. 👍👍👍👍🙂
Complements to the driver on the securement of the coil. In a wreck you usually have to chase the coil down. And that's a mess.
Yea, show up with plenty of cutting torches, your gonna need them.
Cool recovery Josh. You always explain what you are doing. Thanks
Sir Josh , Dave & ALL crews !!! Great recovery as always !!! Thanks & ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!!
Great job all around.. hulk and clipper working together with smart operators at the controls. tks for catching the action for us.
You all should take great satisfaction in the job you do and the service you provide with professionalism and skill.
I love watching people that take pride in their work. Well done to everyone involved
Great job Josh love engery ,, dad something else old school love it
Sir josh you are an example of a great rotator expert ! You get straight to the point , I love the graphics of this video makes me feel like I’m working the recovery with you ! Nice work , I’m the biggest fan of your CZcams Chanel . Hope to see you in action
Another awesome damage free recovery
You guys get so many awesome calls!
Bring your truck down and we can work one together haha. Imagine that!
Pepe's Towing Service that would be so cool! Haha
Good job both of you., Thank you for the video... Much love... Stay healthy and safe
Josh with the Midas touch and million dollar rotator
This job I credit to Dave as he was there first and took control of the coil.
Nice. Heavy load. Enjoyed
Smooth operation once again Pepe, always a pleasure to watch you guys at work 👍😀
Great pride in good way!! I know the satisfaction in big job well done👍
Wow.Awesome
Another great video! Thanks! Kevin
I've wondered why a semi trailer only has one roll of metal, and wondered why they use so many chains to hold them down. Now I know, because they are very heavy! Crazy weight!
It can be done, they are not going to cut the weight of the coil down. As far as the customer goes, the more the happier they are. You just got to make sure you are using the proper load securement equipment, that you have good wood dunnage that the coil sits on, that the coil is position properly on the trailer for weight distribution, & that the driver is experienced enough to handle the heavy freight. The trailers today are aluminum. Putting that kind of weight on the trailer causes the trailer to flex & bend. The driver has to learn to drive accordingly.
Oh ya, and this was a light one. They can be much heavier! So two of these could be very close to 100,000lbs. The MUST be transported and secured properly.
You guys show a lot of skill and pride in your work. Another job well done!
Those air mats are amazing. The fire department in the town I grew up in started using them in the 1980s.
Great footage and editing. Stay safe Josh
Thanks bro 💪
Nice work.. That tractor is totally saveable
In Pakistan they would weld up the crack in the trailer and have it back on the road by the next day.
Thats some very awesome night footage you got of the accident man. A very awesome recovery too.
Thanks! I used my regular Gopro but tweaked the settings to have better exposure
@@PepesTowingService Those go pro functions are pretty handy to have.
Great job guy's, we just had one 2 days ago. It woud be great to see a video detailing all your equipment on you trucks. let us know!
Excellent job as always Josh
Your having way too much fun making this video. Good job !
It helps that I love what I do!
I like how you forget about the coil 😂😅🤣
Right lol. It was conveniently hidden behind big flipper and I was so caught up in the roll over I forgot it
Whoops!
steel coils are about three thousand a ton or more. depends on the quality. aluminum ones are at least twice to three times that.
That looked like "Tin Free Steel" used in making cans. That coil, from what I could see, may be salvageable. The wrapper is just there to protect it.
That coil will be scrapped. Any wrinkle will cause problems when they try to run it through the machinery. The consignee won't accept it.
AU03 probably from Sanjeev Industrial Corporation. Also known as TATA-Steelium, .0168" deep drawing steel. So Mike you are probably correct for making cans. The problem will be during high speed presswork and if the coil feeds correctly due to being out of shape and having edge damage. I would not use it and risk a big customer account.
It'll be refused and back to foundry,they'll melt it down reuse it
@@tiredoldmechanic1791 Your correct. A small job shop will pick that up in an auction. They will spend weeks cutting away at it trying to salvage what they can.
@@Caeser194 It'll will end up at a freight auction. Somebody will pick through it.
Nice job and another great video. I don't remember seeing you use portable lights. They could be a help rigging in the dark and would help with the video. Just a thought I had.
I use them in this video, you can see my Milwaukee portable light tower a few times here
Hey you guys please be safe with all the wildfires out in your area
Very well done channel with awesome content in every video. This is at the top of these type of tow & recovery videos hands down. I had stopped watching most fun the other channels and was really glad to find this one. Stay safe out there and looking forward to seeing you in your next recovery!
Love to hear this, thanks for watching! I posted a crazy mixer job before this video, and am currently working on a monster job we finished this past weekend. Going to be one of my best videos for sure!
@@PepesTowingService I watched your mixer video also. That was some really awesome footage & job!
Perfection at its finest Josh on this job…! Another Job at night…! Man… do you ever get to rest?? You guys are busy as Bee’s…! Nice work all the way around…!
Rest? What is rest? 😂😂
Once again the best team does it!
Josh love the content and only wish there was more video from the jobs to watch. I know its a fine line between too long of a video like some other more boring content is but yours are always good and leave me wishing there was more of the jb to watch. Anyway thanks and stay safe.
Wish no more, my next video I'm working on now will be over one hour long!!! It's going to be one of our biggest jobs of the year by far
Well done 👍 👍💯

lucky that coil didnt hit a caror another truck good job josh
Very nice work for first time 😊
Looks like a beam trailer is required for the concentration of weight of the coil.
Excellent once again.
another great job by you and your crew!!! really enjoyed the vidio !!! jimmie wilkes dayton 0hio !
My wife seen a coil on a flatbed one day. She asked me why the truck wasn't fully loaded. I said but it is.
That coil is around 45000 lbs. She never realized something so small could be so heavy.
Ladies and gentlemen be careful out there.
very incredible!!! yes your team is smooth. kinda suprized you did not weld the base of the trailer so it could be towed. dont know if you have a porta welder tho! great job !!!
That’s what professionals do.👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻✌️
Great job.
Things always falling over in CA!!!! :-O
Awesome video Josh !!!!
I see the beams now.
So just driving down the freeway ....the trailer breaks in half ....because of the heavy coil .....and the truck and trailer both turn over ..... crazy......what freeway ? ...,,,, thanks for sharing
Hey Pepe love your channel bro, I'm impressed on how your crew works and communicates together. Your personal professional knowledge and approach to each job is a credit to you, shows you are a thinker.with this job you did I'm wondering if the trailer wasn't suited to the load and when it cracked is that the cause of the truck rollover ? That roll of steel is very heavy and would have killed someone, hope someone is investigated over it.
You need your own tv show man!!
That fool. Hauling that huge coil on that flimsy antique trailer. I wouldn't have even hauled a coil half that size on that trailer.
Which position on the trailer do you all think is best for such a concentrated amount of weight such as this coil.
So did the trailer break during the rollover, or did it cause the rollover somehow? Seems like the weight would have had to work on the trailer for a while while driving to tear the frame like that. I would expect it to bend in the rollover, not tear, but what do I know.
I pray to god my company doesn't buy that coil! Lol but good price I might have to deal with it.
That was one heavy roll. Did they say what kind of metal it was? Good work by all of your crew!
Whatever alloy it was, it is only good for scrap now.
Looks like stainless. But I'm just going by how shiny it is.
Thanks! No clue on what kind of metal it was
@@PepesTowingService If you can give an estimate of the dimensions (diameter of the coil, diameter of the hole in the middle, and the width across) some math/science jockey could probably figure out the most likely material. Different metals have different densities, and when you start getting into such big numbers, it gets easier to narrow the list down.
I would be telling that cop to not walk next to the trailer while you have that coil hanging in the air. If that coil would fall it could fall on him..
I think at the beginning Dave was trying to ignore Josh "Grrumble, I am working, it is night and I am tired, go away with your camera and your questions, I am too busy working and don't want to play interview for the viewers, grumble grumble ..... ok, I am chill now, what did you say? :) ....."
Haha Dave was in the zone and focused on getting some height under that coil. He def warmed up quick!
Not enough O's in smooooth making it look easy
Smooth 👍!!!!!
First, the coil looked like a roll of copper. Is that what it was? Second, whose trailer did you move it to? Third, the driver of the flipped truck/trailer, what happened to him/her? Hospital? Dead? What? Not trying to be callous, just asking.
I still dont understand why coils are transported this way. In my region (southern Germany) we use special trailers with a recess for the coil and heavy duty chains to secure them.
Really great work you are doing. Imagine if you could have raised the "Kursk" in time to save those Russian sailor's lives? You would be an international hero. Will the day come?
That's a foreign coil, we get those all the time at my plant, they sort of come in a can outer wrap
How much do they cost? And do you think it's scrap now after an accident like this?
Pepe's Towing Service I don't know how much it cost, but it will be used and somebody will buy it and use it at the right price. May lose some in scrap from damage but a lot of it can be used. Love the channel
The amount of subscribers you have and views it’s interesting how few ads you have compared to other shorter videos.
I personally hate ads, especially when you're watching a video and have to skip an ad every five minutes. It takes a lot of time to put together my videos so I just put the default one before my videos only, and sometimes one in the middle of the video to make it worthwhile.
Did the break in the frame cause the truck to flip or did it break from it flipping? I’ve never seen a flatbed frame crack like that.
NICE!!
👍🤪👍🥺
Good night 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👍
Why is the WLL so low on those snatch blocks? Figure a 75 ton rotator would have beefier blocks
We have a 20ton and a 25ton Crosby snatch block for big flipper. The skookum blocks are a light weight alloy that are proven, they weight like 45lbs. We get lots of jobs where we have to part our lines and remove them, and RARELY will ever have to lift more than 30,000lbs with just one line. This was that once a year exception.
As a couchpotato I ask you, why not 3 chains? When 1 breaks 2 left?
What time of day was this? How much did 'Pepes charge for this job ? and how much did that coil weigh ?
Do your rotators have the rolling function?
Y’all ok out there with fires? Very sad for state!
Why are the rotators called Hulk and Flipper?
Big Flipper is kind of an inside joke that fits the truck. It's pretty damn big and it flips stuff back upright. Hulk is hulk for obvious reasons
@@PepesTowingService thank you.
Is a coil just one solid chunk of metal that got melted down? I don't get it....
Is big flipper the largest they make
There Is A Locally Company Here In Southern WV That Has Some Different Size Trucks But One Of Them Is Supposed To Be A Huge Rated Truck And I'm Going By There Soon To Check On Some Pricing For A Couple Different Things I Need Done And I'm Going To Get The Specs Of Their Large Rated Peterbilt, It's Supposed To Be A Brute
Big Flipper is a 75 ton rotator.
Miller Industries offers a 100 ton rotator, "Century M100" (according to them the largest rotator in the world)
Up until last year, big flipper was the largest model made by Miller industries. They now have an M100 model, that is now the biggest
I'm from indonesia yak betul sekali
Was the coil of sheet steel mounted in the middle of the trailer or over the axle? With that much weight in one spot I'm thinking over the axle would be better.
I'm not 100% sure but it looks like it was over the rear.
Do the cops or transport authority do an investigation on an accident like this? I know here in Australia our freeways aren’t as big and hectic as yours but our transport authority would do a full investigation before the wreck could be moved. Especially when there is such a massive problem with the structure of the trailer.
That coil would be sent for recycling. Nothing salvageable there.
You lifted a 19 ton coil with a 15 ton snatch block? Will you be replacing the snatch block? I know they are generally over engineered to what their rated at but does that concern you?
yup CHP commercial vehicle unit will
If there is a fatality in the state I live in, Ohio, it seems the removal could be delayed 4 to 12 hours. Otherwise they seem to remove everything as quickly as possible.
if inspections are done there are tram marks on all the hooks and you can measure the hook to see if it has spread or stretched
Are you guys getting smoke from the wild fires ? Turned the wild fire overlay option on the MyRadar app on android and it looks like the whole west coast is burning down.
Only if the bands broke on it
How long has Dave been a heavy rescue operator ?
Good question, he's been our lead rotator operator for as long as I can remember.
Pepe's Towing Service you can see that he is very good at his job.
what.....!1:54
I expected that coil to be around 30,000lbs lol, shocked me to see it was 42,000!
Dont know whats leaking but i would have cut battery just to be sure.
Probably 8 chains dam 42000 pounds
Trailer was too old to haul that coil. Let alone be rated to haul that size of a coil.. Guess most business owners can't afford a new rated trailer in Cali for that kind of loads...
Is a coil just one solid chunk of metal that got melted down? I don't get it
It's a thin metal plate that's rolled up.
dont you have coil trailers in the USA?no way would i load that coil on a flat
This was the first time I saw you wearing a "bicycle helmet" (I know it's not a bicycle helmet but it looks like one and I don't know the real name)
Are they better or more comfortable than normal safety helmets?
These helmets are no joke, and have a built in visor. Far from bicycle helmet. Look it up, it's the Defender Safety H1-CH® Hard Hat
I wonder how that driver had that coil secured down?
Not very, is how.
@@Randrew I was wondering if he used chains or straps
It was secured with the right amount of chains, it rolled because the weight of the coil broke the trailer in half and the coil said lets go this way in the process breaking the chains
@ ............ I live in this area and see these coils on trailers every day, often times several of them and all of them are loaded the way Pepe's set it on the (new) trailer. I am not in this industry, so I guess 'suicide' means loading in a way that it could roll forward or backward and 'eye to the sky' means laying it flat? Here I have never seen a coil lay flat on a trailer because that would ruin the edge of the sheet metal during loadin, unloading and transport, causing problems during uncoiling and running them through the machines. They always stand them up and sometimes you see trailers loaded with 2, 3 or 4 coils. Hardly ever see I one with more than 4 though.
