    I do a lot of water recovery here on Galveston Island, just wanted to give you a little bit of advice. Use your boom to break suction not the cables. This will almost always cause severe damage to your equipment the way you pulled on it. I use to apply my recovery skills in Iraq to. I've pulled 80k armored mraps out of mud with a 2 ton C5500 twin line Vulcan. The boom is better for breaking suction all the time. Just food for thought. Love everything you guys do. Be safe and keep the great content coming.

      Using the boom for recoveries other than a rollover is actually banned per regulations in the US military. The boom on any military recovery asset except the m88 is not authorized to be used for winching because of people overloading them but also the US military doesn’t use a wrecker built onto a HET. Mire level accounts for suction resistance by doubling or tripling vehicle weight requiring more mechanical advantage before winching and winching is only to be done at specific angles. I’ve seen an lhs with trailer down to the cab requiring snatch blocks to be borrowed from other wreckers and the stiff legs almost snapping. I don’t have an issue with the idea of using a boom if it’s not exceeding the mast limits witch unfortunately isn’t much at all when it’s not a vertical pull and I trained my recovery section on the creative methods but my point is know you’re equipments limits and how to work to them them. I did have a 3 wrecker recovery to lift a fueler back onto a bridge so I’ve seen the booms get used way past their capacity and work though

    A trick when rolling something over, especially when it’s lopsided like that old crane: attach the pulling line anchor to the bottom of the vehicle that’s laying on the ground opposite the tow rig, and run it up and over. This wraps the vehicle with the recovery line and rolls it over, keeping the leverage of the tow rig consistent and helps lift the vehicle, using the wreck as it’s own lever. A drawing would help illustrate how it works, but can’t do that here. That’s how I was taught years ago when I pulled my first recovery back on its wheels.

      They have used a mini digger on previous jobs. Maybe this lake bed was too soft to drive it there - that's why they didn't bring the big truck with trailer, but rather drove the HET there. Would have made it easier if they flipped it over 1st.

It broke in a controlled fashion which is what you need to be safe. We rely on things breaking at controlled points so you do not have excessive forces been placed on complonents. It is like a circuit breaker in your house to cut power. The bolts on the frame gave way first before something else more important.

      Better advice would be don't be in front or behind the cable when pulling. A rope twice as long would just mean half the distance the ring would have traveled. The fact is no amount of caution would eliminate the risk. It may slightly reduce it. A good example is airbags while they do reduce injuries and death we have noticed defective airbags have caused deaths and injuries. I remember one day leaving my work in a factory and the safety team had put up a sign that said All accidents are preventable. I said to myself that is not possible because you cannot control what other people do and some equipment fails. The sign was removed a couple weeks later.

    Pretty hard recovery, glad it worked out. Maybe some equipment to make down the road, have a set of 1/4" or 1/2" metal slider pans, just for stuff that could easily slide across dirt, rock, or even as this situation, salt flats. Same design as a set of skis does in the snow, strapped or chained to the wheel or an axle. Would of worked great at 28:15.
    Way easier to get it back to the road, than putting all that stress on the equipment, while it was digging into the salt bed.
    Keep up the good work everyone.

      Good Idea. I've used an old car hood to drag a vehicle with busted suspension out of a bad area then even onto a trailer once we reached accessible roadway. They were also dragging the 15,000 lb counter weighted end, with that flat steel body plate, through the sand acting like a dozer blade pushing earth, until they lifted it a little with the broken boom. Then they made some time... Good Footage

    I haven’t read all of the comments so if this has been recommended I’m sorry. I recommend since you do GREAT fabrication make a large trailer just for recovering items from the Great Salt Lake Flats using huge air tires like they use for moving large items on deep snow. I believe that they are like 6 ft X 8ft. If you can make a trailer that can use street tires for the road and then swap the large Aires tires on soft sand/ lake beds it would solve your towing issues and save wear and tear on your equipment. Hope this is worth your time.

    I drove a heavy wrecker for many years. I never did much of a water recovery, although in the small wrecker, I recovered a couple of vehicles from a shallow Lake called Prosser just outside of Truckee. It was a very popular place to try mud bog type action. I also had to recover a big rig in Los Angeles area that had broken through the barrier on a three-level overpass and was dangling cab down held only by the landing gear on the trailer. I had to boom out and lower the cable to the cab of the truck then I climbed down the cable and hooked onto the frame just ahead of the fifth wheel plate. I managed to climb back up the cable with great difficulty, then I threw a rope down to the driver who made a loop and put it around his chest, then I pulled him back up not with my own strength which sadly was not enough, but by tying another winch line to the end of the rope. Kind of a scary recovery but it worked and I managed to pull it back up onto the roadway safely and send him on his way with the load intact, although I never opened the trailer to see the state of the cargo inside, but at least it wasn't the type of accident where everything would have been tipped over on its side or worse blocking the rear doors only to fall out on whoever opened them next!
