What the heck is an Iver Tool??
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 12. 2023
- 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 CZcams. 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.

Basically same concept as wheel barrow? Longer handles makes easier work.
Exactly
@@CaseyLaDelle can you give a like to the quick connect kit you have
As we say in engineering, "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from!".
... and when you don't like any of them, just wait for next year for another one to appear!
It is indeed strange that this is not standardized. I watched the same system in use here in Europe, and also here there are at least 6 different systems in use, of course all different from what Casey shows here. But the idea is similar.
You backed that up like you knew what you're doing. Very impressive
Girls do that in Sweden all the time with pup trailers. It is impressive to watch being done. Their shipping is centered around this tyle of trucks.
I remember the first time I tried to back a tractor trailer behind a tow truck 🙄
@@larrybe2900 Those are definitely fun to watch
He as a experienced stunt double that does all the impressive stuff.
I am a firm believer if there is a easier way Casey will find it
Major props for backing an articulated truck with a tow truck. And not just a few yards to help clear a turn, proper backing.
Wow - I honestly don't think a better or more clear explanation could be given, Casey! It's fun to see the various tools in operation, but when it's explained in a manner that is so easy to understand, it gives a whole new level of respect to not only you, but ALL of the heavy haul rescue rigs out there. I agree with you fully that if there's a tool to make a job easier or safer, that's a tool to have. Might only need it once, but that one time can be life changing.
I am really impressed with your double pin backing up capability….Well done Casey
Your channel is almost making me want to come out of retirement. You make this stuff look like fun...I know, it's the stuff that you don't film, and the editing out of "colorful" language that is the reality of the job. Thanks...enjoying the videos...very educational.
Damn dude. You backed that up with that midde not flopping once but under control the whole time. Props!
What a helpful setup. Work smarter not harder! The heavy wrecker is a beast!
I love watching someone that knows how to back up a trailer in a straight line!
I like that you replace each piece of equipment back to its designated spot before going to the next piece.
Impressive backing up a truck and trailer, pretty similar to backing a set of doubles
Way easier. A set of doubles has an additional pivot point in the middle
@@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. The converters axle steers, but I'm able to lock it straight with an air switch to make it easy to back up (as easy as backing up multiple trailers can be, anyway 😂)
Well that is an awesome set up! I can see how the Ivertool can make towing a big rig easier , safer and faster! That is so much safer than trying to mess around on the side of a highway lifting and blocking the wheels to make enough room to get under the trucks front Axle!! Thanks for taking us along Casey. 👍
I love hearing the clink of Ivor tools in the morning!
I love hearing and seeing the tools of your trade! As a former machine operator in excavations it was always cool to see what was new in my world. Now it's your world.
Another great educational video about the towing business. I now look at tow trucks, especially the bigger ones, with an eye to see if I can discern the things you have demonstrated and shown. Thanks for opening eyes to this business.
I'm glad you got a new helper. After David went to college you definitely needed a hand getting things done.
I'm always amazed at the microclimate at that sanding yard. Its in a bowl and all of the trees in the bottom are lodge pole, rather than the fir trees. I bet the topo lines would perfectly define the edge of the lodge poles.
I've been there, and I think it's more the area where the ground is all volcanic cinder just grows lodgepole. (There are scattered lodgepoles elsewhere in the area but not large numbers.)
That area around Bend and Sisters is relatively dry compared to the western slope, and all I remember were the Yellow or Ponderosa pines, rather than any firs, Douglas or Red or White.
I'm a firm believer in having more tools- you never know when they'll be needed. I'm very happy you were able to buy more equipment. It will make recoveries easier for you and you can do more to be able make videos for us. Win-win all around. 👍 Stay safe and GOD bless
Casey “I never said I was good at this” ?! You don’t HAVE to say anything at all! You are good at this! Everything from backing that thing up like a stick to helping children at Christmas! 🙏🏻🏆
iver is a great dude known him for years
Never met or had any interaction with the guy, but from what I’ve seen of the stuff he does he’s a really sharp guy
I saw a Zacklift towtruck on I-35 in Round Rock, TX, Friday and thought, "Same cab as Casey's wrecker, except painted green and white livery."
Everything has a place and you sure do place it back in order.
Omg I laughed so hard with yall . Thank you so very much for that. We are really going through it and I have been so stressed. Literally my electric will be cut off at any time, no money for Christmas or food and every organization I reached out to had already allocated all their funds for the month. But it's ok we are alive and have each other. God is good.❤
Always enjoy seeing what’s in the truck ‼️
Marvel at your skill of handling your equipment. Multiple vehicles are hard to control on backing up.
Casey you always put together something that does the impossible job. I have learned so much to add to fifty years of log ging.😊😊😊
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.
The setup & take down of these Iver Tools takes less time than it takes to watch this video. Great for when you’re in a less than ideal situation like we were. Casey is also pretty good at backing things up too. I was impressed.
Good morning Casey the Iver Tool was definitely a good investment because in sketchy spots it saves you time which is a benefit less time means safety for you dealing with foolish people who don't slow down and move over
I felt like a kid in class and enjoy the education from Casey. Cheers, Mate.
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
Love your channel and watching you work and explain everything! Stay safe out there!❤️🙏
Once again Casey teaches me about something I never knew i was interested in learning about.
Your skills coupled with your knowledge makes for an impressive capability. Always impressed.
so nice seeing such a beautiful clear blue sky and sun shining in december, I'm from northern finland and this time of year we get maybe around 4 hours of daylight and that's usually overcast, I'd say that affects your work mood quite a bit when you start in pitch black darkness and you day in pitch black darkness
Looking forward to your video on your chain system and then a snow & ice recovery
Me too! Maybe one day this winter it will actually snow so I can finish that video
That is a great idea. Turns the tow points into a lever extension.
Casey, loved all the information I drove semi for 29 years, that rig you hauled made it appear like you were driving a small train 😮 loved it.
"Never said I was good at that". Well, ya are. Thanks for the video.
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.
We have a company over here in the upper Midwest called safe-t-pull that makes recovery points and hitches for all of the trucks and tractors that get stuck in the field during harvest season.
I’ve towed quite a few low aero dynamic trucks and it’s a massive help with those
@@CaseyLaDelle Plus, we don't want you ripping any plastic or tearing any plastic while you crawl underneath those trucks 🤢
Wow that's pretty slick! Would have loved that when I was towing heavy for the new cascadias that the bumper is 4" off the ground.
That's cool.. I didn't even know Iver Tools were even a thing. I saw them in other videos but I just figured they were random parts for towing.. lol
Thanks for the video
Iver has made a great notch in towing manufacturing that even the larger manufacturers have not thought about?
"I never said I was good at this..." clearly no longer applies.
Amazing backing Mr. LaDelle!
You have great skills.
Casey is a show off backing up. Nice job.
I don't think a lot of people realize what they just watched when Casey backed up the truck and trailer. Imagine you are backing up your camper and it has your fishing boat attached to the back of your camper being pulled by your truck. It is truly an artform.
And that is a fact! Great example btw.
Wow impressive reversing there Casey!!! 👍🏻
This was really interesting. I never even heard of an Iver tool. Thank You.
Stud driving, humble as well. Good combo
You have a good camera man
MERRY Christmas to you and your family! Not to forget your buddy. Merry Christmas!
I like watching your channel as you are very good at teaching and showing your skills. I am glad that you are starting to get back into the big heavy towing. No bad words in this one so I can let the grand kids watch it tomorrow.
Excellent explanation - thanks for making it simple for those if us that are not tow truck operators! Very cool to learn a bit about towing heavy trucks and equipment
nice kit now you only have to go under the truck to remove the Propshaft, (drive LIne ) once ,which will be a little bit safer. Merry Christmas and Happy Newyear to all ,thank you
heck, Casey, this makes me want to be a tow driver! The last time I operated a tow truck, we were still using slings!
Very cool, Casey.
Nice explanation.
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 !
I’ve had that same thought, but this is how the manufacturer designed it to be hooked up
Iver (wich by the way is the name of the inventor, Iver Årvåg) is a very serious Swedish heavy wrecker company owner who build heavy wreckers to his company and to customers.
He's specialized on the really big and difficult jobs.
I know him personally and if he have built something I would without a doubt trust My life on it.
Great Video on explaining what and why you bought the tools for. LSD! LABOR SAVING DEVICES! Casey. What you buy and why you buy it is to make things easier for yourself. Your Not wasting precious time money on Frivolous things. For me, explanation not needed, but it was nice. Great video Casey and Ethan. 🤙😎🎄
I really like how you explain all of the equipment that you use. While I am somewhat familiar towing, a lot of new stuff has come out since I helped my dad tow vehicles on occasion. Thanks Casey! And I want to wish you your lovely wife and the precious Riley a very merry Christmas and happy new year!
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!
You can flat tow with this as well
I guess that makes sense! Would you have to lock the steering in that case (as I've seen you do when towing backwards), or does the system take care of that? How do you decide whether to lift it or flat tow?
@@Timooooooooooooooo no, you leave the steering free to follow along
@@user-ix4dl1dy7q nope, nothing like this for motorhomes. But I won’t tow most of that bigger ones anyways
Every day is a learning day. Thanks Casey.
I've seen the European Scania wreckers use that tool a whole lot.
you could mount it to the backside of the box above your forks it would come out pretty clean
Holy crap . . . what an investment . . . know it's none of our business, but be nice to know what heavy towing rigs costs. Great video, cheers.
Full trucks are in the half $mil. and up depending on the style.
Thank you for the info.
Thanks for the lesson. It was very informative and explained easily. Happy Holidays!
Good job guys and a very Merry and blessed Christmas ⛄🎁
ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW ON YOUR CHANNEL.
You sure do have that unit well equipped!
Great job. Thank you 😊
I like the way that you shrug off the ease of reversing a double pivot. Most ppl have no idea how to do 1, let alone 2 (me included, and Ive been a heavy rig operator for 40 years). I was thinking that you have 1 of the pivots locked off somehow, but I know u didnt. Nice job Casey. Just 1 hiccup was the safety chain joined to that system. If that system failed, u would have no safety backup.
Iver tool sometimes known as a tow pin which most drivers don't keep in their trucks hoping they never need a tow. Or they have those big bumpers that are put in the tow pin spot! Great explanation Casey!
Great job.
Getting your use from that Towkit, no dust under it, thumbs up, great video
Given the speed to hook/unhook with the Iver Tool, not long before it pays for itself as time saved means more jobs! Great explanation and driving skill!
Can't wait for some snow recoveries... If we ever get enough. Here in 'sconsin we're looking at 50s for Christmas, we had 40s for Thanksgiving, and 30s for Halloween... Frigging backwards world we live in ain't it?!?!
Same. Terrible snow year
Great content guys 👏 thanks for sharing an Happy Holidays 🎄.
Merry christmas❤❤❤❤ love your videos!! Can't wait for the track jeep action
Good explanation for people who don't know or understand; what or why you need that kit for your recovery work let alone understand how to use it. Good equipment isn't cheap especially when there is only limited sources to supply it, but safety, speed and reliability. Many of us understand that, life support isn't a place to skimp on.
Do you know how many people are talking to Zack Lift about the rig you have and what to purchase one for there truck? I know of one CZcamsr, Gentry and Sons, that's talked about it.
very handsome bank of trees on that ridge
That over tool I slick. Impressive reverse skills.
Iver tool is slick. Auto correct sucks.
Thank you for sharing that knowledge Casey. Very cool!
Would be interisted to see the differance in steer axle weight when lifting using the tow points vs the axle. I wonder how much of a differance it makes. Could definitely helpt in snow and ice
Merry Christmas Casey. Awesome Job
HEY! Gooood morning Casey!
mornin' sweetie!
👋 Goooood morning! @@JanelleVocate-Ames
"and also gives you a very string recovery point when needed." Pretty sure that's supposed to be a "strong" recovery point. Proving yet again spell checker isn't anyone's friend. Great video as always.
You get all the bestest tools Casey!
Damn man your back up game is crazy 😂 I'm a good driver but thats impressive. You have some cool gear I haven't seen before.
Casey, this is just my opinion, so give it whatever consideration you wish, but I just watched the short of you towing the loaded truck and trailer with the Iver Tool. 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 CZcams suggested.
The only part I don't get are the safety chains. Seems like those have to be hooked to the trucks axle or something. Have you forget to hook up a pin then the whole unit comes off the bumper with your safety chains intact. So you have a 80,000 lb missile. Aside from that crazy logic pretty cool idea very informative video Thanks for the knowledge 🙂
The good thing I see about this is that you can add tools as you need them instead of making a much larger investment all at once, the "bad thing" is the amount of money that you are going to have in there when you finish equipping the truck, although being really useful things that make your life easier, it is surely worth it.
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.
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
That western with the DTU zack lift looks real good.
In British Columbia you have to separate the tractor from the trailer to tow
People that ask about the Iver tool system, haven't watch many recovery videos. Goood explaination, as always. Merry Christmas from Michistan!
I’ve only seen one or two other videos of it
The title in your thumbnail made me come here to help convince you to value yourself more. Casey, you are worth way more than $11k😘
