Hello everyone!!! Most of my viewers will notice there is new intro and outro music on this video. Some people love the old music while others were asking me to change it up. Especially the horns intro.....people either loved it or they hated it. So, I thought I would try something new and see how the viewers like this music. Leave me a comment with your thoughts. As always, thanks for watching and God bless!!!
Ron Pratt ...Better! Thanks!
I'm fine with either one.
Sounds great!
Old music please.
Ron Pratt I’d say stick with the horns. Just my $0.02. Keep up the great work 👍
Nice clean job Ron, beats working in the dark and snow !
Great rigging job Team Ron! It would be really interesting to see how the tractor driver finally secured his loads and placarded his freight. If I saw these trailers coming up behind me, I would be giving him an extremely wide right of way. The quicker these sea containers passed me, the happier I would be for sure.
Nice to watch a job that didn't involve misfortune or stupidity of drivers. Either way it's entertaining, and thanks much for sharing. Stay safe.
I know this is an old one . I like to old one with the horns it sets you apart from every one But I just getting around to watching all of them. I found you on here and love them and you are so nice to every one and I really like the ended where you say God bless and have a great day.
To be able to straight lift a load that size on an extended boom...what an amazing piece of work that rotator is!
I can't begin to imagine the sort of fees you have to charge just to break even on the depreciation alone...what an immense act of faith for what is, after all a family concern...Respect!
Dave
You do great work. I like how you break in new people. Hands on is the best.
I thought I'd seen every way possible to get containers on and off trucks but a tow truck is a new one on me.
I always look forward to your uploads. You are so professional, methodical and precise in al you do.
I have just thought of another use for them too.
They could be used as an ideal drinking game. Take a shot each time you say "There yer go" :) Most people would not be able to walk at the end of most of your videos. I find myself being able to predict when you will say it now lol.
What a professional job you do Ron. Plus you work so well with your crew. Stay safe out there.
I just wanted to say that i like how vocal you are with every one. Even if he knows what he's doing(your helper),your still letting him know and also what you are doing or about to do.
Great job! I have to say I like the old music much better!
One thing to remember is that the crane operator is NOT responsible for the truckers job of tying down the load or making sure the load and trailer is legal. The crane operator is being paid to pick up a load from point "A" and place it at Point "B". Makes no difference to him whether it is a motor vehicle or a big rock on the ground. His only responsibility is to SAFELY move the load between those two points.
Thank you for clarifying that. A lot of people have been critical of the trailers, containers, etc. As you stated, my job was to safely load the containers. Well said. God bless.
@@RonPratt I know the legalities of load and trailer are not yours but I can't help but think "What are they doing?! You can hardly see the lights on the trailers because of the excessive over hang." I couldn't have done it. Would have felt responsible for overall safety. Job well done as always.
Keep up with the good work Ron love watching you on UA-cam God you
Also, having the rotater I bet has increased potential income doing lifts like this. Plus brings a change of pace on tow calls. One handy dandy piece of equipment! Hello from Grafton, West Virginia!
Nice job both Lifting and Setting these containers on the Trailers.
Thanks Ron, another top video. Nice to see something different and I enjoyed the new intro music. Didn't think the last one was that bad! Maybe mix it up a little. You are getting quite the following now. Good luck to you! All the best to you and your family.
Another great job moving the 2 containers.well done
I see that you answer questions from people. So dummies, as I am, learn from it. Thank you very much. Greatings from the Netherlands
Hi from Deer Lake, Newfoundland, Canada. That's an awesome job with putting the containers on the two trailers.
Love the new intro🎧👍
Thank you for your posts Ron! We really appreciate them. Hoping to get to swing by one of these days to meet you in person (if I'm lucky enough that you aren't on a call). I just hope I don't get to meet you out of need lol.
What a beastly piece of machinery, I never would have thought that your truck could lift a shipping container, let alone full loaded
Another great job done Ron .
You are a professional. Great job and video. I liked the old music a little better,but this isn’t annoying or anything.
Nice work once again, Ron!
(BTW, the intro music on your Silver Button video is your best to date...)
Great video Ron and helper, he seems a good guy. Love the music change up. Be Safe brother
Another fine example of professionalism has graced our sight yet again. :) Your videos are worth watching, and sharing with friends and family. :) Thank you for taking the time to show us how heavy things should be lifted and how you are teaching Mike the finer points of being in the presence of Tator/Beast. ;) Mike is doing a fantastic job, and soon it should be his turn to learn how to use the Tator on "easier" jobs. ;) Why not have 3 or 4 people that can competently use Tator?? Have a blessed day, God Bless and keep 'er between the lines. :) Can't wait for the next installment of Life of Ron Pratt: Tow Truck Driver ( and Tator) hee hee.
I like your change in music!
Thank you Ron, And Happy Memorial day 🕯🙏🕯
Like the new tunes. Watched through to the end rather than skipping the time lapse just to listen.
Awesome to see that versatility, Ron. Thanks for sharing.
Just an idea for if you are in that situation again. When you drag a container put another strap between your hooks, and use the green painted winch (i believe you call it a drag or tow winch) to pull it towards the truck while the boom lifts weight off of that end. Hope it helps. Keep up the great vids.
I like the new music as well as the older one, but having said that change is good. That rotator has amazing capabilities, in the right hands, yours. God bless you
What a GREAT truck you have!
Great job Ron ! Music sounds good to me ! God bless you and yours and stay safe as always !
I like whichever music you choose to use. I come to see you and the crew at work. Stay safe
Nice work as always Ron you guys always do great work and safely on all the jobs.
Great video as always Ron, thank you for sharing what you do, love it.
Awesome video Ron!
If we hit a drought Ron you could be handy finding that water like you did... LOL
Ron its not just wrecks that show that your at the top of your game . Take care watch your 6 Darren
Who is Darren? That is Mike.
Well Joshua Darren would be my given name . RossCharlie are just two names that mean a lot to me . Hope that clears it up, Darren
Nice job AND I like the new music. I'm liking the second camera angle too. You just do good work, that's all there is to it. Thanks for the share.
Nice job Ron! Yeah it never fails when you need a quiet day to do some things the wind will always blow. Stay Safe and God Bless!
Awesome video Ron !!!
Great Job Ron, nice and slow is always the best and safest, other channels could take lessons from you. We are not here to listen to the music to watch you do a great job. God bless my friend.
that rotator truck of yours is just amazing and awesome.
Ron you could use kazoos and I'd still be happy. Best family and informative channel i've seen. We all watch your videos together as a family night. Be safe and "as always thank you for posting and god bless"😇
The intro music is a good change. I didn't mind the old, but I do like the new sound tickling my eardrums. I say keep this intro until November, then change out again. As always, stay safe out there.
Nice work Ron, slow and steady always does the trick. Like the intro music no matter how you play it.
Love watching your videos keep up the good work God Bless.
Another great job done
Gotta love one wet shoe hahaha, another professional and respectful video well done keep em coming!
Good Job Ron
Great video love the new intro music.......👍
I see you are over 116,000 subscribers already. Climbing up there. Congratulations.
I had to click the notification bell a few times to get subscribed, "some" videos or "most" videos?! freaky.
3 months later, 148,500 +
Nice and easy as they go, nice clean job looked abit windy thank you for sharing as all way stay safe and may the one up top keep you all safe and happy.
Hi Ron, I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I'm hooked. You have a fantastic way of going about your business and you do a great job of sharing your experiences with us all. Love your trucks, especially the Rotator, that is one hugely capable truck. Thanks for sharing.
I diddnt know your tag axle could steer a bit. thats a handy feature. love listening to that rotator work
Thanks Ron for a nice Video quiet a nice vid to lay down and watch before going to bed keep the good work up well done
Awesome job well done ron and mike and just shows the power of the rotater
Nice work Ron! As a crane guy, the angle of the rigging looks pretty shallow. Ideal angle would be closer to 60 degrees. At the angle the straps are in on the containers, the straps will have a lot more than half the weight of the load. Actually, each end will have close to 100% of the load weight. It looks like you are at max boom length though. So, I understand the shallow angle. Just an observation. I love your channel and the work you do! Keep up the good work and videos!
Yes, with the long containers it is difficult for me to get the correct veer angle. I still had more stick, but the wind was blowing pretty good towards the truck, so I choose to keep the stick in and the angles tighter. Thankfully, neither of these cans were very heavy. Thank, be safe and God bless.
Ron Pratt, nothing like working with large, flat objects in the wind! Seems like it can be dead calm, and as soon as I pick something, the wind starts blowing. Also, that is one heck of a nice truck you have there! Thanks for doing what you do, and taking us along on the adventures! Be safe out there, my fellow Missouri friend.
Yeah, if you watched the sped up video at the end, you can see the wind actually blowing the fence. It never fails that weather is going to affect the lift, but you already know that. Thanks for the compliments. I've heard a lot about your channel. I've been extremely busy, but I plan to check it out. Be safe and God bless.
Ron Pratt, you've heard of my channel other than seeing my comments on here? That blows my mind! 🤯 I'm just a little fish in this big UA-cam pond. It would be an honor to have you stop by my channel. The compliments are warranted. You and your crew are fantastic.
Yes, I've had several subscribers mention your channel to me. I'm just a little fish too in the grand scheme of UA-cam. It's OK, though. My wife and I talk about it frequently...if the channel can affect one person positively, then it has been worth the effort. Keep your head up and ignore the negativity....Haters and Trolls....their only purpose is to bring you down. DON'T LET THEM!! I will definitely "swing" over and check out your channel.
Great video Ron! Anther job well done.
Great video Ron, That is one extremely versatile truck
Giday Ron from Australia you sure are cool under pressure.
@Ron Pratt Happy Memorial Day!
nice work as always ron hell of a truck wrecker/crane
Mr Pratt, just an idea with containers to give you more stability and control. Rigging the blue & white as you did, but then rig the red & yellow to their respective upper corners on the side closest to the rotator. Just a little tension on red & yellow and you'll have some of the swing tamed and you can more easily steer the container in the air.
That would be the way that I lifted the heavy piece of farm equipment and yes, the 4 part line give you better control over the load. This still worked on this job. Thanks and God bless.
Another great video. I wonder what the DOT officers thought when they seen the doors on the one container against the upper portion of the step deck trailer? 😂
The new music is fine Ron, old or new, either way, as long as you've got something interesting for us to view, that's all that matters, like this job, it was interesting and a nice little challenge for the Rotator, but good to see the job done, and as always, with safety in mind, thank you again for sharing Ron
On this Memorial Day Ron, I hope you don't mind me paying tribute to my dear departed Cousin, the Reverend Dr. Robert H. Mowatt, who firstly served his adopted Country (he was Scottish by Birth) in the U.S Navy, and then went on and served God as a Minister, he received the Navy Cross and Purple Heart for Service to his Country at Iwo Jima, he may rest with with God, but he's not forgotten
Don't mind at all my friend. I actually just posted a tribute video from a ride that my riding group went on today.
Good job Mr pratt / I worked for years in the navy on flight lines and flight decks / now retired / launching and recovering aircraft / crash and salvage / you are good at you're job / a gift from God / happy memorial day weekend sir to you and yours.
It would probably have been safer for them to have had the containers lifted and moved with a hydraulic side lifter container truck, they come in several lengths and can handle most modern shipping containers by simply picking them up from one side and lifting them directly onto the bed of the truck. But there are times when you just can't get them in to do the job for you, when that happens Ron is always there with his Rotator! :D
Threading the needle with the rotator. I like the new music.
Another oddly satisfying video. Cheers Ron!
Ron thank you for sharing with us GOD bless everyone, from Kentucky P.S. I like the music
Great video Ron thanks for sharing have a great day
Great Vid again Ron ...Can Fully Understand why Jamie Davies shed more than a Few Tears on TV when he had to sell his not long Brand New Rotater ..Such a Universal Piece of Kit
Excellent choice for intro, good job as always. God Bless.
I need a couple of those containers for storing all my small garden tractors in.
Nice job as usual Ron. From Andy in UK
Great Work!!! Stay safe out there!
Your new intro song scared me! Thought i clicked the wrong video! So used to your old into song haha
Very cool. Bless you and yours, Jim
I have to wonder if the customers expectation was the cans stacked 3 high with a gas tank on top of the stack were really not going to fall over in the first mile. He had open space on the floor but stacked paint cans??? Amazing! I want to see the video of when he opens the doors at the destination point, LOL. My only bad thought was, "Why would he leave the Vette parked there rather than move it just in case the box shifted or a strap let go.
I have to think the very same thing--not much job site prepration by the customer at all. All that junk lying around the first container--un sure footing at best. And the person that pulled thru the cones--why did they think (if they thought at all)-were the cones there for? Duh! Got to spend you time moving stuff out of the way that you could have been on the way to another call- yes--trying to keep your mouth shut, but sometimes just so hard.
Another cool video! I was going to ask if your were doing all the math in your head until you read off all of the specs from that remote box in your hand with the weight and angles and all. That's really neat that it gives you so much info right on the remote , so you can determine if your safe or not!
Great Job Ron. Have a good one.
You need to get one of those things were you can drive the truck from outside or remote.They probably are extremely expensive but man it would be cool.
God Bless
Don't care if 1st or last, can't see any reward in that on watching YT videos, but another fine job by these guys!
At 40:06 you see the truck lean over as the weight shifts. Scary and good evidence of Ron's warning that containers can be known as "Wrecker Killers"
Nice rig but I agree with the shallow angle of the cable. Saw a set of chains snap for that reason. Still Great equipment.
Hope the propane tank was empty because paint and propane don't mix
I didn't see your reply before I made mine, but yepper. I'm noivous.
Hy Ron! nice job, verry steep angle on that slings, be aware the load on them on this shallow angle is sometimes twice as the normal weight as lifting from staight above, dont knom the max load on that slings, but its heavy for them! best wishes from The Netherlands , be safe! .)
12:36 When it started making that particular sound while dragging on the concrete my 16 year old cat (was on my lap) decided she thought it was a large animal making that noise and she ran for cover. I had a good laugh when I realized what made her run.
17:28 Watch out for puddles lol
At 40:06 it looked like your right side outriggers came off of the ground.
A windy day like that can catch the container and swing it around. It looked like you kept a good handle on the situation. Good job keeping it stable and under control. Stay safe and God bless! :-)
Boy is that rotater is sweet!
That certainly was seriously soft ground!
Ron these containers make only 3 or 4 trips across the oceans before they get "retired" due to how the salt water attacks the hinges & the steel.
Awesome video! Neat to see the rotator doing things other then wrecks. Ps more videos please. It’s hard to be a addict with 1 a week. It’s fun for one day then a whole week of withdraws lol.
Nice job men
Ole Tator does another fine job.
It seems to me that the trailers were a bit short for 40 foot boxes. Did the boxes get flags to protect the overhang?
Great video Ron and Mike.
Mike, the health and safety guy in me says thank you for putting that ladder out of the way before the lift on the first box. Some would have just dropped the ladder anywhere for someone to trip over. Lying down and against the fence was a good location.
Oh, and I liked the music. 👍
This video illustrates Ron Pratt's interpretation of "Click and Drag" (a simple PC/Mouse operation) :)
