Hey Casey, this was a different pace of what you usually do & it sure was a nice solution to a big headache! Great job handling it right outside of your shop! You had your hands full & handled it like a pro that you are! Good to see the mountains with the snow up there sure brings out the wintery in the spring! Thanks for sharing! Keep on trucking!👍😉🚜
The hydraulic cylinders aren't supposed to hold the load driving down the road. I'm pretty sure there were pins that were supposed to be installed in braces that hold the ramps in place.
As you said at the end "You never know what you're going to get", can also be like Erika Thompson from the Texas Beeworks YT channel will say "It was another great day, of saving the Bees"
100 grand is outrageous. As a Half Greek myself, You called upon the spirit of Archimedes there...😂 But that rollback is impressive. The counter weight of the rollback is cleanly heavier than that of the GMC 1 ton for it to counter balance perfectly. Neat. Alittle bit of Physics involved there. We can see this equipment is designed with purpose and safety. Cheers Case
That pickup trucks have become this heavy and this expensive is nuts. The vast majority of trucks in the US have never been off the pavement or hauled more than a few bags of groceries and pet food. They have become ego-boosting monstrosities.
Casey I guess that is what happens when you have a car trailer and use it to haul trucks. Nice work Casey. If I was ever stuck you would be my first choice of a dream rescue service that come with a mechanic all in one. Thanks.
We've had rams bend on this farm before due to factory weld failures on a piece of equipment that put too much stress/side load on the ram shaft but never the ram body, that's a new one on me and that it completely failed.
Just as well there wasn't a vehicle directly under it,when it fell,😢dosent look like a top load though, glad noone hurt, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
You'd think the heavy trucks would be down on the bottom and the lighter vehicles would be up top. I wonder if they won't fit down there or something.??
Dually’s don’t fit on the bottom deck because they are too wide to drive up in the interior of the trailer. The only exception is on the very back bottom spot of some trailers and then they are generally too long to legally haul it there. Regardless of where they are on the rig, Dually’s are hard on the equipment.
Kinda funny you post this today, I was driving by a local gmc dealer today and spotted a new Sierra hanging off the side of a car hauler. It was there for a few hours at least, likely while they tried to find their own Casey to Bail them out
Yikes. That big a#s truck broke the camels back for sure. Might be time for the entire rig to be inspected and refurbished or decommissioned. Rollback to the rescue again.👍
I think he tried lifting up ramp with truck on it in order to get car from underneath. They usually have pins locking ramps in place while traveling down the road, I think.
@@brucebaxter6923I am guessing it wasn't at rest, it was being used to lift the ramp with that large truck, but I may be wrong. Could be he didn't pin it and with that heavy dually bouncing up and down on loaded ram. It is interesting how it collapsed and broke where it did, so you may be correct. Just thought I heard Casey say it collapsed while trying to unload. My bad if not.
@@papatomsthoughts ahh ok. Sorry. I’m really not very smart. I just noticed the rams broke at full extension. If it was unloading the pins would have to be out.
That car trailer isn't built for that heavy a vehicle! Ram & support is too small for that kind of weight. Transported cars for 20 years and I might know a little about it and had custom built trailers from Boydstun of Portland.
It looked like a hell of a lot of weight to be on the back rack. Middle maybe. Then the ramp only has momentary weight while unloading. Imagine the pounding down the road.
That poor little rollback, pushing what it can do. Well that's what happens when you put a modern dually on a trailer built for 90-00's sedans, surprised it doesn't happen more often.
Casey, you definitely saved the day.
That car hauler was in a heck of a fix!! Nice save, Casey!!
You never cease to amaze!! You always get interesting recoveries. Thanks Casey!
As Paul Harvey use to say, "and now you know the rest of the story". Another fun video, thanks for sharing.
I remember those days. The good old days
Good job! Crazy trucks are costing in the six digits now!

Great job, Casey! Very effective use of the rollback, and, it wasn't on a dirt road.😂
Have a great week and stay safe.
Wonder what the load rating is for the cylinders,that’s a fairly heavy truck.
I've tore up a lot of equipment in my day, But I've never seen a Hyd cylinder fail like that !
You and me both!
Looks like they're fully extended, without enough ram left in the cylinder for support.
The hydraulic cylinders aren't supposed to hold the load driving down the road. I'm pretty sure there were pins that were supposed to be installed in braces that hold the ramps in place.

Why I have 4 trucks with over 300k on em all.

@@CaseysOffRoadRecoveryand if you REALLY want to open folks eyes, tell 'em how much you pay for insurance!
25 percent of wages or more

HEY! Good morning Casey and Becky! Have a great day everybody!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Boy Casey, we never know how your videos are going to entertain us . Thanks for sharing and stay safe 👍

100k for a truck.... whew doggy. Ill be driving my 2017 till the wheels rust off.
The adventure of towing and recovery!
Nicely done !!
Pretty creative way of getting things settled. Hyster for the win.
You got that right!
Hey Casey !!! ALL 👍👍👍👍👍's up !! 🙃😉😊🤠😎

GThat's right. Too tall.
The GMC with those hips at the back it's riskier to fit the bottom

I see it too often. I think these transporters need to re assess what they are doing.
Very well done thumbs up👍🤠
Nicely done Casey. Still boggles the mind the prices for trucks these days.
Nice job and use of available equipment.
There are certainly enough massive whoop di doos on Utah's "award winning Intrastates/highways" that can make that happen? 😮
💪 got it done.. 👍👍
You saved his bacon!!
Yikes. That big a#s truck broke the camels back for sure. Might be time for the entire rig to be inspected and refurbished or decommissioned. Rollback to the rescue again.👍
Well done.
Umm, I’m not very bright, but shouldn’t the deck be supported by stays and not by hydraulics when travelling?
Makes sense to me
I think he tried lifting up ramp with truck on it in order to get car from underneath. They usually have pins locking ramps in place while traveling down the road, I think.
@@papatomsthoughts interesting.
So this was simply a loading accident and not a running accident.
Unusual for rams to fail at rest

If it was unloading the pins would have to be out.
That trailer doesn't look like some of the bigger professional ones.
Maybe a cheaper model ?
The prices of new trucks have become ridiculous.
Thanks Guys
He he he, sitting on the forklift with dual rams that look very similar to the damaged ones.
Mighty fine
I feel cheated, came to see "off road" recovery and seen on road/parking lot recovery. 🤣
the cylinders forgot "gym day". 🤪
Overloaded the capacity of the truck by 200%. They are only designed to carry 4,500lb vehicles on top.
OUTSTANDING : o ......

@@Torsee Yep those 2 back stands take a beating going down the road. I hauled a lot of antique and classics. Talk about heavy!

Maybe don't put the 8000Lb dually on the top ramp😮
Some people learn the hard way.
How in the world can ANYONE afford that thing?
