These guys did a great job. I've done it with only a Holmes 600 when that's all we had we later got a Holmes 750 and we did tractor trailers with those two trucks
Seen folks criticizing techniques used and comparing to other youtube channels. In the end, it's the responsibility of the operator to get things done safely.
I like the way you guys get on scene--size it up and go to work--everybody does something-well trained crew. Instead of just standing around-like some video's--one is pulling the drive shaft-another is getting chains out--no wasted movements. Looks good to by staanders also.
Up here in the North east we don't have enough time to stop and talk to anyone . We have so much Traffic volume were just not given that luxury to say Hey how you doing were just gonna take our NEW rotator and right your Garbage truck . The amount of time I see trucks just sitting doing nothing while people ramble around WE just don't have up here . All the State Trooper's wanna know . Is Do you have My Roadway open to traffic yet and if not WHY ???? How long and get on it !!! Period...Make sure it's cleaned up .. no broken car part's truck part's .. NO anti freeze No Oil ... ..and NO lit flare's ... You won't see class being held on how to right a heavy truck that's on it's side.. Because the ONLY thing the state want's to know is why is there Roadway closed .. and how long ? you can't tell em well gee were explaining everything to everyone and then holding committee on what we should do , that garbage would have been raked back into the truck while it was on it's side . I've personally seen what I thought was the worst job ever we had a propane tanker truck that slammed into the Overpass abutment {cement column} and exploded we found the trailer tandem's a 1/4 mile away and the rear section of the tank on someone's house burning , they shut the overpass down because it was burned so bad they closed it to traffic ..I've never seen a fire that hot .. They never completely found the driver the cement column took a direct impact from the cab and it was only a Day Cab ... the 50 ft Tanker was full of Propane as well ..Trucker's today do NOT get compensated for the job they are expected to perform .. Sorry but they don't...we lost another wrecker driver this year up here . He was from Mamaroneck NY he was killed on the Playland parkway extension of I-95 doing a DV loading a mini van and was struck & killed and left for dead the driver who hit him took off didn't stop didn't report it ..... Tow truck driver's get killed every year because of careless irresponsible driver's who are much to busy to bother ... You couldn't pay me enough to go back out there and do the on call thing again last time I said yea sure I didn't get out of the truck for 26 yrs ... Seriously .. So many more car's today so much more traffic and so many more non driver's driving car's and Big SUVs pretending to drive....
Very nice recovery! Just got my subscription. Only thing I have to say, and I’m not bashing.. but you should never walk under a winch cable when in use...
We had a small local wrecker attempt to lift up a car that went down an embankment. He parked so the pull would be from his right side. No outriggers on the wrecker. About halfway up the embankment the wrecker roller over, joining the car at the bottom of the hill.
I made a mistake once winching a lil mini grader, ended up in the middle of the road with a set of duals 8" off the ground with a wheel chock and the under reach keeping it there waiting for the 5 ton wrecker I should have took in the first place. Some times you learn the hard way...
Is one of the hard things about recovering a garbage truck is the weight of it because it’s going to be loaded up with a lot of trash and that can increase the weight loss?
Thank you for your hard work. In Korea, I have a lot of lexacas. I'm working on it, but I think it's a bit frustrating and hard for you to work. I think you're doing it too hard. Anyway, be careful.
Awesome job guys... that one comment about the unprofessionalism. I had to smh at him... I didn't see anything but class and professionalism. Keep up the great work... great content!.. you have a new subscriber.. ps screw the keyboard pros... merry Christmas and stay safe! Cheers from Canada!.
I drive both a T880 and a T800. T800 looks and sounds better but T880 is waaaaay more comfortable. I have to stuff 2.5" of shim under the floor mat of the 800 or my lower leg is sore almost instantly. It also lacks the adjustable shock seat so I'm bouncing for 8-12 hrs in its sardine can of a cab. They put a RAM computer mount aiming at your elbow of your shifting arm in that truck too because their geniuses.
I know this is a old video but I'm slowly going thru all the vids.lol so great vid and allways screwed up situations huh .but allways haveing a possitive outlook on things godbless
Quick question can airbags only be used to catch a vehicle when it’s coming down or can you also use them to support the side of a semi trailer to keep it from bursting open when it’s loaded
Ah! Hunting down tools. Either this is new equipment, or operators are not savvy enough to know the whereabouts of the equipment. I’m sure you all do a great job or else you would not hav a Rotater.
Does the carriage slide like Midwest's 'tator? Also, too bad that ID is a good distance from LA! The Hulk (Pepe's Towing 50 ton tator) could team with your Superman on a job. lol
Still weird me out to see the trucks with twin steer axles especially that far apart is that just for better front weight distribution? With the second one behind the cab just seems it would suck if you had to make tight turn
jay s it gives us more front axle weight, which is better for towing and gives us more weight for anchor ability for recoveries, also it steers really well for how big the truck is
jay s Its also one more axle with brakes, and without it we would be overweight on the single steer. Plus it’s more stable in my opinion, they are both 20k axles and the front weight on them now is around 13500 each, otherwise it would be like 27k on a single 20k axle.
I worked 4 republic & they blow with all the saftey meetings they have how in the fuck could this have happened lol... From the looks of it driver may have been hurt drive side was crushed...
I wouldn't say it's better, but different. For example, I would say that Ron takes pride in having intimate relationships with the people he works with in the community, with the people he's served with side by side. He strives for safety above all else first, then the job. He may do some things that are different but it makes his channel very enjoyable. I believe his faith plays a huge role in it as well. He may or may not have as a big crew as what we saw on this video or the resources to hire such a crew or vehicles, but he does quite well with what he does have. ^-^
@@EpicATrain Pratt is a bit over cautious with things like how the hooks face, but he sure knows the physics etc. I'm glad he has cut out a lot of the driving-to-the-wreck time. love his remote control for the tater. So far as I have found on youtube nobody is better.
@@CountryEquipmentRentals I assume you mean under reach? It didn't look to be that torn up that it could not be towed. (also so the drive shaft being removed and I assume the brakes caged) But why the air bags? just run a catch line from the boom, closer to the rotator to the bottom edge of the truck frame (is on top when it's flipped) Watch some Ron Pratt, he really makes the tator dance.

Can't believe they sat the right front wheel down on top of the winch cable instead of a chain.

Ya know, a good hand held camera or a helmet mounted camera would REALLY help a lot. All we see is straight ahead 100% of the time.
Awesome job guys well done guys always stay safe

Excelente, con las bolsas de aire un trabajo profecional.
I love that Superman on the side of your truck I am big fan of Superman
Did you know Superman was created by a Canadian

I think i need an RC towtruck to add to my collection! Then I can film movies similar to this with the RC wrecker.
PNW RC great idea! I always thought that would be fun!
@@CountryEquipmentRentals It's a BLAST! Our club gathers monthly to have RC trucking & construction fun.
Nice job.
You guys have some amazing equipment
Nice and soft, real pros!
Seriously awesome job. Sure
A lot of people for just 1 garbage truck. Seen a crew of 2 guys do one of those jobs with 1 truck before. Truck also looks barely used, nice rig.
Jamie Brown we have done just two guys for jobs like these, and we usually only use one truck, but it’s better to be prepared.
Nice to see the Catchbags in use!
Is one of the hard things about recovering a garbage truck is the weight of it because it’s going to be loaded up with a lot of trash and that can increase the weight loss?
Had to get the short man's helper out. Lol
Thank you for your hard work. In Korea, I have a lot of lexacas.

Nice job!
Nice job guys,
From San Luis Potosi Mexico good job
Nice work
Should chain the front axle to the frame. Really need to if you’re going to pull from it

Roll over always gets my attention. Add that to the title next time hey. It will increase your views I feel sure. Thanks for a good video.
Nice Job....
Nice job from a new sub.

Quick question can airbags only be used to catch a vehicle when it’s coming down or can you also use them to support the side of a semi trailer to keep it from bursting open when it’s loaded
Police officer thinks to himself 70 ton truck... and most of the bridges in this county are only rated at 46 ton lol!
Kevin VanBuskirk the truck weighs 70,000 lbs, if bridges are rated for 92,000 lbs then there’s no problem.
You should turn off the NATURAL GAS TANKS guys. The tanks of the "roof" of the can.....
Ah! Hunting down tools. Either this is new equipment, or operators are not savvy enough to know the whereabouts of the equipment.
I’m sure you all do a great job or else you would not hav a Rotater.
James Johnson it was brand new equipment and we just reorganized everything on the truck, and the truck was fairly new as well
He got that turck to
I didn't see anybody remove the driveshaft while it was easy and accessable
Does the carriage slide like Midwest's 'tator? Also, too bad that ID is a good distance from LA! The Hulk (Pepe's Towing 50 ton tator) could team with your Superman on a job. lol
عمل ممتاز
what determines whether you use the air bags for catch than a cable for catch
thats whats the driver would be thinking no was not the driver i don't live in that region
this video was posted 1 day before my bday

i work for republic and drive one of these automated trucks
I do roll off now but did residential for 18 years, frontload two sort, did my time on a rearload too. Any word on how this truck was put on its side
I worked 4 republic & they blow with all the saftey meetings they have how in the fuck could this have happened lol... From the looks of it driver may have been hurt drive side was crushed...
The new trucks are easier on the operators back..and faster too.
i think i swerved without paying attn to traffic or road condition!!
theodore scott were you the driver?
Is the driver okay?
michael hane yes thankfully he was ok
This some better than Ron patt videos
Nat Gunnels haha that’s what I like to hear!

So this was a fairly new truck being that its a cng
CNG has been around for 50 years. Just not common. Had to wait for the price of diesel to go up or emission control to get serious.
dangerous
Edde Willis what is?

100tons rotator?
david lundström it’s a 50 ton rotator
Does everyone know how much a job like this cost.
I'll bite with a really rough guess. I'm thinking somewhere in the 3-7 thousand dollar range.
Of my opinion that doesn’t look a big job
how did it get towed
KylanOnDex we towed it with the rotator
