Bus Burned to a Crisp on Freeway (HOT RECOVERY)
Bus Burned to a Crisp on Freeway (HOT RECOVERY). Poor guy, just bought this bus the day before and it's already burned to a crisp. Not sure why exactly it burned, but thankfully there were no injuries! We received this call after the local police vendors turned it down, and rushed out there by sending Alex in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator. He was joined by Eddie in our Landoll for the transport.
First step was to park Big Flipper parallel to the bus and set up the rigging for an easy off the side lift. Due to the severity of the fire, Alex decided to use chains instead of straps that can get caught and torn on the jagged pieces. Once everything was rigged, the bus was listed in the air which allowed Eddie to back up right under the bus.
From here, the guys did a quick cleanup to push everything on the side so the sweeper can easily get to it. The rotator portion here was done, while Eddie had to take the bus to a scrap yard where they had a huge forklift to unload it. All in all another quick and easy job complete, keeping CHP and everyone involved happy.

Overloaded Container Almost FLIPS my Rotator!
Переглядів 43 тис.9 годин тому
Overloaded Container Almost FLIPS my Rotator! Could this be the heaviest I've ever lifted off the side? Nope, but definitely up there. I said it was 50,000lb in the video, but these 20' containers are always between 40-50k. In hindsight, this had to be every bit of 60,000lb. I truly regret not using my load cells, but I did not figure it would be this much. The driver stated 30,000lbs over the ...

Box Truck Almost FLIPS Over From Shifted Load! Imagine how much less content I would have if load shifts did not happen? They keep us BUSY!

FORE! Semi Driver Gets Stuck on Golf Course. Talk about a hole in one. This driver got himself stuck at a fancy club golf course, so we dispatched Alex in our 75ton rotator to handle the job. Navigating to this spot was not too bad, but the pressure was on as the course staff was trying to rush this guy out. We understand, as this is a distraction to the golfers, but the driver did not make thi...

MESSY Dump-Trailer Rolled Over at the Landfill. Can you smell this video? Poor Alex, handling this call surrounded by garbage. We received this call from a customer to assist in a rollover at the local landfill, and Alex was dispatched in our 75ton rotator, Big Flipper. These end dump trailers are always a pain for a few reasons. One, the piston. They can bend, tweak, leak, etc. You have to com...

Insane Tractor-Trailer Rollover UNDER a Bridge! It's been a good while since we had such an incredibly difficult job like this. We do tons and tons of winchouts, heavy lifts and "basic" rollovers that we make look like childs play. But this job humbled us and reminded us that you can't use brute strength to complete every job. For starters, it was under a bridge. Not just partially, but both tr...

This poor fella went full send over our famous spot in Angeles Forest Highway. Distance was about 250', all gas no breaks. Alex was dispatched in our 75ton rotator, Big Flipper.

Dump Truck Stuck in Muddy Disaster! Alex is back with another "easy" winch job for Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator. Just as some recent jobs, Alex decided to use the equalizing sling method using our famous Bailey's equalizing sling and a 15ton snatch block. The deep mud was no match for the brute strength of Big Flipper. This method is by far the best method for these jobs. A lot of people ask ...

Lifting 64,000lbs at the airport (full 360 8k)! It's been a while since I did a full 360 video, but with the X4 I'm hoping that it will look much better than we I had the GoPro MAX. The job was a standard cargo loader lift, something we do almost every week. I figured the bright environment would be a good test for the Insta360 X4, and if you guys like it I can continue to do more. I did this j...

    Not working at night, but rather in Higher traffic? Nerver heard something like that before. You create more congestion and more following accodents that way. Plus those Bolts were on the Road the entire night. How can that be safe at all? Just shut that hoghway down in the Night. No congestions beacause almost no traffic…

    As a rotator operator for close to 10 years in New England myself, I can say, its nice to have a call every once in a while that still gets all the juices flowing! Excellent job that most operators would have waited for a second truck. You knew your truck and what it was capable of.

    7:38 Why didn't you lot simply reposition the container BACK until it was centralised over the lead axle above the rear end of the trailer, so that there wasn't anywhere near as much of a fulcrum twist excerted onto the frame of the trailer, as that would have allowed the gooseneck area to be "lifted" enough to allow the truck operator, to take the container away at the same time as "moving" his now buggah'ed trailer, slowly - to leave it at a secure yard where they could have simply transhipped it onto a better "normal deck" shorter container trailer. All it would have meant - was for the chains to be loosened enough to "reposition" the container towards the rear of the trailer, to "dump" the load weight, over the rear axles, and NOT so far forward as they did, which was the sole reason the gooseneck bent.

    by 20:23 I have so much "motion sickness" from your stupid "Gymbol" mounted head cam, swivelling around as if a cork in a heavy swell away out in the middle of the ocean, that I'm giving up watching this. So with THAT forever moving camera view, I won't be watching any more of your "recovery videos".. Sorry, but I value my right to have "safe viewings" without developing motion sickness, just "watching a video" .. to many others to watch to have to endure this weird stomach churning stuff.

    He Should not have had it loaded at the front of the trailer of corse that much is going to bend the gooseneck of the trailer. It should have loaded just over the top of the first axel onto trailer. Totally the drivers & loaders fault .
