  • Lifting a Broken Asphalt Paver Stuck in Gas Station - Today we are lifting a LeeBoy Asphalt Paver that was shot in the water while on a construction job. Not sure what caused the failure, but the unit was in the middle of doing the asphalt at the pumps when it took a dump. Cue the rotator and a Landoll to lift and transport this unit back to the customer's yard.
    The unit itself only weighed 15,000lbs, which is light work for my 50ton rotator, HULK. Because it was small in size and due to the working area, I found it best to lift it off one side, and swing it over to the other side directly onto the Landoll. We did not want to drag this unit and tear up the brand new asphalt, and I could not drive on it (62,000lbs would destroy that plus my tires lol).
    The job was quick, and ended with another satisfied customer!

    • @PepesTowingService

      The make is literally called a Landoll. The model is 440. It's a Landoll 440. They sit at around 3' tall. A lowboy generally is a trailer that sits lower. I've seen these called Lowboys a ton, I even did and sometimes still do lol but the actual literal name is a Landoll, that's the corporation that makes them.

    • @robertdavis4169
      @robertdavis4169 Před rokem

      I think a lowboy is a flat, low trailer for towing tall items. the rear axle on a Landoll slides forward, allowing the bed to angle to the ground like a rollback tow truck. The Landoll has a winch, too, which the lowboy doesn't.
