- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Using my home-made side-puller attachment on our #15 Peterbilt Century LCG12 rollback (tilt-tray) to winch out a box truck that bottomed out the trailer hitch while going up a driveway. Thanks for watching and God bless.

I'm a simple man. I see a Ron Pratt video, I click watch.
Nice, a Penske truck that isn't stuck under the 11 Foot 8 Inch bridge :D
It's 12'4" now and still takes a nibble now and again.
LMBO!! :-D
You forgot the "+8"
It's been raised and is now the 11foot8+8 bridge. 12'4" is still enough to scrape the top of typical box trucks; but not to can-opener them. Bigger trucks could still be destroyed; but semi drivers who know what they're doing will have a GPS that knows not to send them under low bridges. Which means we'll probably see a SWIFT trailer get destroyed there at some point...
Don't fear, Penske has trucks that are high enough to hit eben an 11 Foot 8+8 Inch bridge ;-)
Ron.... I am a prolific viewer. I comment occasionally.. towing was always a dream job of mine.. but I physical challenges from birth prevented it. So your channel has always given me a birds eye view of the job.. thank you God Bless, be safe, and keep them coming.
This happens all the time at one of our offices. The driveway goes up a hill at an an angle and we inform anyone making deliveries that they need to approach and enter the driveway southbound or they will get stuck. Inevitably, someone tries to enter northbound and in making the tighter than 90 degree turn into the driveway, their DOT bumper or lift gate always hits the pavement and will put them into the exact same stuck situation as happened here. Lots of gouges in the roadway from previous incidents, but nobody seems to notice and take heed of our instructions....
Thats just ridiculous! You'd think people would geta hint, especially delivery drivers lol.
With the right tools on the truck and between the ears, you make it look easy Ron.
There's nothing like having the right tools and knowing what you are doing to make a job look simple!
Keep safe Ron.
Those of us with large RVs are aware of dips at the end of a drive. I have never gotten stuck but have dragged a hitch once or twice. In the old days, they use to hook a tow truck onto the back, lift, and pull forward to un-stick them. I've seen it done a few times but you have to have room to move forward. The ability to side-pull is a game changer.
It never ceases to amaze me how much these rollbacks are capable of doing! I was thinking the truck would have tipped over, in the absence of outriggers to help stabilize it.
Amazing......the video is 21 minutes old and over 2000 of us just sitting around waiting with our coffee for Ron to post a video.🤗
It makes a change seeing a Penske truck NOT having it`s roof ripped off under the 11ft 8` bridge lol
A nice little job too keep you on your toes, each job big or small needs different ideas & brain power and that is the fun part of the job never the same.
yorkie pudd it’s a nice change isn’t it
How neat is that! Experience shows right there, no fuss and has a side pull setup...so cool.
I love the urgency with which you do everything. Inspiring. Exhausting.
I love the fact that I got to see you use the homemade side puller. I remember commenting that you should build one some time last year or so. That was one of the best things I welded up using stuff from Harbor Freight and it made the job so much easier, especially when you work on major highways and expressways and you don't have to shut down a lane to do a recovery. Stay safe Ron.
Just discovered the channel and this seemed like the last thing I’d be into, but I’m obsessed with watching your vids man😂 you seem a good guy and great worker. Cool to see the different types of work forces out there. Keep it up!
You should watch the code 3 response videos he does. I've watched 75% of Ron's videos. Just sit down, and watch them all day. Pretty relaxing ngl
Ron Pratt is probably the most respectful, humble and professional man that I have even seen in his profession. Welcome to the team. :-)
I like Ron's channel best of the tow channels I've come across because he explains everything he's doing, and he's accepting of his non-religious viewers too. If this is the first of his videos you've seen you will see what I mean when he has to respond to some serious accident.
Sometimes the simple calls are interesting too. Another welcome distraction as we sit home. Thank you Mr Pratt.
Yeah when u got in that straight pull position I knew u were gonna box yourself in. Glad u noticed quickly. I like that homemade side pull attachment. God Bless
This brings back memories from the 90s when I got my rental truck stuck in the same way.
abnormally easy compared to many I have seen from you :)
best wishes
stay blessed
Love those ones where it takes ya longer to set up.than do the pull!!
Enjoy your videos; this was the most straightforward of any of the others I have watched. I am trying to figure out how this would get any downvotes(currently 29); guess there will always be haters.
I'd love to live in the same state as you. I'd get in trouble tho, because I'd be calling you all the time, no emergencies; to just hang out. You're a good man.
I really like that side pull attachment. A lot better than a simple redirect off the deck. Perhaps Miller should look into adding that as an option. A suggestion for a design mod - make the top of the frame with the top roller a gate. That would eliminate removing the roller and feeding the end of the cable through, just open the gate, drop in the cable anywhere along its length and close the gate.
Love the way you preserve the critical angle into the winch drum. That side puller is an AWESOME tool for a rollback.
90% preparation, 10% doing.
Good job Ron! Fast and efficient.
Nice! Love the guide roller attachment idea.
Good Afternoon My Good Friend Ron Pratt Sir & God Bless You & All Of You're Whole Family This Afternoon From You're Good Friend Timbo White
Good job on your side job winch fairlead. Glad you used the snatch block to not put to much on the side roller of the fairlead. I had a coworker who tried to pull a F350 dually out putting the winch cable about 50 to 60 degrees on the right side roller causing the metal the roller is pinned through to being bent causing the retainer clip to break. The side rollers are really not designed to carry a bunch of weight .
That's a nice homemade side pull attachment, GREAT VIDEO Thanks William Orange county, ca.
Approach and depart angles. We don't think of them enough.
I did that with a 53 ft trailer once.
Ron if only all your recovery were this easy Lol stay safe
At least this Penske truck didn't hit the 11foot8 bridge yet!
Couldnt they have just put boards on the front bottom edge of the tire and let the truck push the boards under/climb on top of them?
Excellent fast work. Just WOW
And really nice home made side pull
Sure is a lot of pieces to put this puzzle together. I think that is the case for most of your recovery jobs. The prep work is tedious but then the actual recovery looks like a walk in the park!
When you know your machine (and God has blessed you with incredible talent), you can design attachments the design engineers didn't consider.
They didn't consider because they advice against pulling sideways, since less talented operators would risk pulling their own truck over on the side. But not anyone can do what Ron does. ;-)
Thanks for sharing Ron. You surprised me where you hooked to for the pull on that one.
smartest place, lifts up as it comes back.... could've used the safety chain loops on truck, but doubtful they'd hold up well..
Ron must be thinking: “C’mon! Give me a real challenge!” Lol
May be a silly job for Ron but I am thinking about the driver, how frustrating moments he might've gone through. And hatsoff for the quick remedial approach.
What RPM do you keep
when winching out a car
or trk like u just did??
Also maybe patient
that side puller. It just
might really catch on
around the country😄
Good job as usual Ron.
Great job as always. Keep up the good work. God Bless you all
Love the side puller great idea
I had a truck driver get stuck like that. All I did is just disconnected the air ride valve from the rod and manually made it think it's overloaded to fully inflate the air ride. He was able to move it under it's own power. After that just reconnected the rod and valve and that was it.
Hey Ron I think it would be super helpful to everyone watching if you could let us know what people should expect to pay if they need to hire someone for one of the jobs you are doing. I know you always respect the customers privacy so you couldn't tell us exactly what you charged, but people getting a rough idea of some of these more common tow jobs costs could save people from getting ripped off. Love the videos man, keep it up.
Pricing is usually from, "Oh that's not bad" to " Oh my God, I'll need to rob a bank". Seriously, many times the pricing depends on the vehicle being towed, how far away it is and what needs to be done to recover it. A simple quick pull in my area runs about $100.00 with no more than a 20 mile round trip. However if you need a big wrecker the price goes way up quick. One place I know get's $500.00 just to start the engine and move the wrecker. Then it's so much a mile and charges for each piece of equipment like straps/chains/bags used.
Thanks for that idea for the side puller
Ron I love that home-made side-puller, also how is Ethan doing? We haven't seen him for awhile now.
That side pull thing really does do a great job ...
Hi ya Ron another fantastic recovery love from the 🇬🇧.
nice easy job ( as usual Ron made it look really easy ) .. rear overhang can really catch you out
Just seen ya last weekend up at 117 exit and told ya I like all your videos 👍keep them coming
I remember. Didn't know your name, but you were driving a pickup. I was stopped on the ramp after towing the wrecked truck and trailer the wrong way 3 miles up to that exit. The Trooper was trying to find me a place to turn around. I would have used the old store on the East side, but they were having a sale of some kind. I ended up shooting across to 61 and south the Fruitland. May have a video of that job later. Hopefully.... Thanks and God bless.
@@RonPratt Running 3 miles the wrong way ain't something you do everyday I bet that was different. Will be a neat one to see thanks!!
I love you videos keep up the good work all the way from Scotland uk
I had to come down to the wrecking yard like 2:30am or so .rookie move droped a car with no room to get out also he didn't send bed all the way out. He was stuck. Once the car was off loaded his edge of bed was higher than the bumper . Lol with the use of the jack was my go to tool. Master Ron once again .got to create one for jerr dan aluminum bed I have 3/4 in rails ?
Hi Ron. Another great video an a bonus of getting to see you using your homemade side puller on this fairly simple recovery, I must admit i was thinking to myself " I wonder if Ron will use his guardian angels on top of the cones as an extra visual warning to oncoming motorists" As always Ron god bless you an your family an everyone at Midwest trucks stay safe and as always Ron #SLOWDOWNMOVEOVER!
i know kind of what he went through, when we moved our apartment parking lot had a steep incline at the entrance and truck luckily didn't get stuck but it did scrape the pavement. had us worried for a moment
Yo Ron finally got to see your face, and not just the back of your head. God Bless and keep the dirty side down always.
The side puller works great
That must be one of the shortest if not the shortest video! This show how some jobs ain't hard sometime.
Ron this reminds me of what happened right in our lot at work a few weeks back. I get a text from a firend who works for a larger towing company company (runs one of there rotators) . Asks if the box truck is stuck in our lot and how bad? So I take a walk and sure enough the same size box truck with a drop gate is stuck....but because someone left there liftgate down.... I see the driver sitting in the cab and say I can get you unstuck and hit the up switch it moves and the truck rolls back on to the brakes alittle but is free. But the driver freaks out and runs from the cab sayin he’s stuck. And puts the gate down and jams the truck again.... I tryed to tell him again that his company will get a big charge for a simple fix as my buddy pulled up . He spent over a hour helping the idiot get free again and 2 hours after that getting called by state police to tow that same driver hit 2 cars and they put the driver out of service for the accident and dot violations.
Great job I need one of those side pullers
Nice and easy. Great job.
Good advice on leave yourself an out. I'm a truck driver not recovery but I'm always looking for how I'm going to get out before I pull into a place I'm not familiar with
Always leave yourself an out no matter where you are including driving straight down the interstate.
Bro you need a TV show!!💯🔥
That truck wasnt that stuck. Had one stuck just like that and my old worn out under powered f150 still pulled it loose no problem. Guy didnt have enough traction to move either direction so a light tug got him past that point with him helping.
Nice quick pull on that one glad it wasn't a mess .godbless
God bless you to
The truckers best friend.
Is that truck air ride? If so disconnect the link from the leveling valve, push the lever up & wait about 30 seconds. Then drive backward like normal. Don't forget to hook the link back up. Easy peasy.
Your roller fairlead is slick. Great set up. A good rollback operator can do almost as much as a lousy hook truck driver.
It is amazing that people do not pay any attention to the rear overhang on a vehicle until they get stuck
Genius Side PUll Fixtue- should be patented
excellent job
Ron, you ought to get that side puller patented if it is a unique design. It could make you a rather wealthy man.
he just needed a little more speed before he hit that hill.
I think that is the first time I've seen you use the side puller you made.
Ron, do you ever consider the use of a heavy duty wheel chock before crawling under a rig with an obviously novice operator behind the wheel? Had me nervous with that angle.
Ron More videos please I’ve been on a 24 seven lockdown here in the Philippines really look forward to your next video God bless
Hope all is well there. Not good here in Minneapolis Minnesota with all the violence over the police killing.
I think I figured out your upload pattern.
Every Friday ?
You need tot advertise this somewhere. I understand that for obvious reasons uploads may not be consistent but I think if you can tell people that you're uploading or to expect an upload the next day, more people will see your videos .
I'm not religious so best wishes, love your channel and I aspire to be a tow operator someday myself👍
Every Friday morning,with occasional other videos.
I'm surprised you didn't see it. Yes, I release a new video every Friday morning at 7:00 a.m. CST. I have it listed on my home page. Perhaps I need to check into it.... Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Sometimes he even treats us with a Tuesday surprise.
They had a big “Opps” moment
Did that with the new flatbed? Nice! That wasn’t probably a hard pull anyways. If it’s a box truck that size id take the lighter single axle wrecker we got. But that wasn’t a hard pull for your new flatbed. Easy quick job 👍🏼
Typically I would have taken our 4024, 20 ton towing/recovery unit on a Peterbilt 337. If the box truck had been loaded, I definitely would have taken the 4024. I was on-call that weekend and had the flatbed at my house. So....I took what I had on-hand and made it work. That little truck is tougher than it may look. I've got a video in the works showing a job I did with it that I really SHOULD have used a bigger truck, but, again, I made due with what I had. In the upcoming video, it was quite a drive, we were given incorrect weights on the equipment, and we were fighting a storm system coming in. So once we got on scene we had to go with what we had on-site. If I'd had time I would have called for the 4024, as I said earlier. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Ron Pratt It came that easily I could tell it wasn’t loaded. Therefore good thing you had your new flatbed it was a easy job for that but if it was loaded, then yes the 20 ton wrecker be the one for the job. Good thing you didn’t have to call it because the truck wasn’t loaded and you already were there. We have a peterbilt wrecker same as yours also, and the flatbed. Easy job that was 👍🏼
Ron pratt I can hear a little kitty at 3.22
I did that years ago!!
With an amateur like that driver, I would hear him set the maxi , shut off the motor and give me the key before I got under it.
Some folks say the brake is set and not k ow what they are talking about. Be safe !
...GOOD ONE.KEEP SAFE...
#RonPratt that's no side puller. That's the Pratt Puller !!
Ron, your words "to the believers " about praying for the victims of accidents are really delightful. Sounds like you appreciate your Creator. Years ago in Australia kids crossing the road were told " look left, look right, look left again" but in time it was noted they were "doing " it out of rote and not really seeing the threats. Have you noticed how many quote faith but fail to actually meditate on what they're saying? For example folks "know Jesus" as a babe in the manger or nailed up. But how many think beyond that to what exactly is he doing now? What has he in mind for this earth as it goes to Sheol in a basket? We should know these things if we are to please him. Any thoughts?
I can't speak for everyone. I can only speak to my experiences and I have had several very close experiences with my God. I am a man of strong faith and try to live as He would have me live, but I know that, just like any other human being, I fall short in many areas. I have questioned. I have doubted. Occasionally, I still do, if only briefly. The experiences that I have had with Him were strong enough to prove to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that He exists. I've seen many tragedies. I've seen much good come out of those tragedies. I've seen "miracles". I could go on and on.... So, I believe and I do the best I can to live as a man of faith. As I said, I am not perfect and fall short in many areas. I cannot answer what He has in mind for anything. For me, that's where faith comes in. I have to believe that everything happens for a reason. As I said, I have seen good come from tragedy. Why the tragedy?? I can't answer. During my lowest times I felt His presence the most. I do know that scripture tells us to regarding how to live. Basically, "the Golden Rule", treat others the way you wish to be treated. First is to the Love the Lord, your God. Second is to love your neighbor as yourself. Those are the two most important "guidelines", if you will. Thanks and God bless.
Ron Pratt Ron Thankyou for your beautiful reply. I too have a deep faith and cannot imagine a day living upon my own wits. It is a great comfort to be able to say prayers of gratitude and requests for help. Not so long ago I lost my darling of 46yrs and live each day knowing we will be together again. I surprised a Christian lady when I told her that during Karen’s last 12 wks she expressed the feelings that she had no desire to be a king and a priest with the Lord in heaven. But those in that kingdom will fulfill God’s promise to the first man to have the earth be the home for mankind. She believed Gods word would “accomplish what it set out to do and not return void.” Karen and I expect that if I remain faithful to the end I will walk with her through fields of green to visit our children and grandchildren where “the lion will dwell in peace beside the lamb.” So please keep expressing your kind words of faith as you drive to jobs in your truck and provide so many of us joy in your videos.
Good job Ron lease it was easy job
This couldn't have been a Ron Pratt video. There were no overhead power lines!
Another good one
Great video that was toooooo Easy LOL
For me is funny to see this. That happen to another driver and i told him why you didn't whent on reverse o is the same. Let me drive. Ooh so thats how you take them up closer to the courner. Nobody is perfect we all learn some how.
Got a ? For u Ron why don't u have a light medium duty wrecker in ur freet thats what i drive at work and I love the truck.
Man i was disappointed to see that you didn't do three quick horn blasts to indicate you were reversing
we get those around here all the time ecspecielty on move in move out time at purdue
Cool man love video
Hallo from Albania and long live USA
I'd like to see the city make the person who rented the truck pay for the damage to the street. They clearly had NO idea how to drive this truck or use it properly.
great job as usual Ron, how much did that cost him?
This one almost seemed too simple Ron; didn't even spot a power line.
A couple of questions on this one; not doubting your judgement for a second, just curious. Also, this situation is one I'm familiar with, having worked on a car ferry with steep ramps.
Did you consider putting wooden blocks behind the rear wheels, or was it *too* stuck?
And, with your side puller; where's the advantage using it, compared to redirecting the winch line without it? The only difference I'm seeing is the rollers protecting the line and the side of your truck. Am I missing something? 😁
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
I thought you'd give him a radio
Just so, for a better communication situation
It might take too long to teach him to operate it. There's all those buttons and switches and stuff ya know.
I've found that it usually best to just keep it simple with rental truck drivers. It's hard to misinterpret hand signals.
That was way too easy. It took longer to rig everything and probably break everything back down again than it did to actually pull him out. How are thing going in your neck of the woods concerning the lock down? Are they opening thing up again? Maybe you could give us a quick update on how everything is going for you and your workers during this pandemic.
I'd call this film "My Fairleady".
I like it!!! Thanks for watching and God bless.
