Construction Fail! Machine Falls off Trailer

  • Construction Fail! Machine falls off trailer. Alex is back with a very nice and heavy solo rollover, using our 75ton rotator, Big Flipper. The city is technically Los Angeles, but close to the border of Torrance. Your guess is as good as mine as to the exact reason it rolled over, but Alex is a professional and got this heavy machine upright with no further damage.
    The first step was to lift and swing it enough to where the trailer can pull out of the way. From there, it was just a matter of strategically rigging it so once upright, he could rotate it to the island where they would then work on it.
    Total weight on this machine was roughly 25,000lbs. Alex used the auxiliary lines to assist in a very controlled and smooth "mid air roll". This is when you lift the unit, then flip it in mid air. It's safe and looks very cool, especially from the drone's perspective. Hope you guys enjoy this cool recovery!

    Watching you do this job Alex, it was like watching a heart specialist. Precision, steady hand, took care of the 'patient', no panic. Mr Smooth, well done, Pepe's should be proud of you. (i know they are, so are we)

    Alex is a skilled operator -- not only of the truck but also the camera, drone and the commentary he provides. Also, I've noticed that he's a good representative of the company as he interacts well with the customer. I also liked the fact that he was patient with the bystander that wanted to tell him how to do the job. That's a lot nicer than simply blowing him off.

    I loved the stranger trying to tell you how to do it. I wonder what his job is? One day I was admiring the job a welder was doing on some piping and jokingly said I had a few free minutes would he show me how to weld like that and I loved his response: "just put on a helmet, someone will be along shortly to show you how to do it".

    Never try to give advice to an equipment operator. I thought you handled the gentleman perfectly. I had one many years ago and I let him know I was in charge and we were doing it my way. He walked away mumbling something along the lines of my heritage and where I could shove something, but he left

    An interesting job. It's always great to see some lifts of different equipment rather than just the rolled containers on the freeway ramps. Your rigs are so well equipped and you and your crew (Props to Alex) not only entertain us but give us an education. High school kids should watch your stuff to learn about geometry and physics applied to real life.
