This "simple" recovery turned into more than I bargained for!

  • This truck was delivering a bridge crane to a local ranch right as an ice storm hit that caused major problems and shut down highways in the area. There was on steep hill getting into the ranch that the truck couldn't make it up, so I brought the @zackliftinternational4841 over to pull him up it. Then due to the cold temperatures, most of the equipment on the ranch hd gel'd up and couldn't start, so I used the Zacklift to unload the crane beams as well. This is where the Zacklift completely blows every other detachable tow unit out of the water. There is only one other brand that has an extendable boom, but it is such a short extension that it can't reach out to the center of a trailer in order to lift a load. Up until a couple years ago when Zacklift created the Genesis, a job like this would have been unthinkable with a detachable tow unit.
    While I waited for the truck to get warmed up and backed off the hill I took some time to watch @FabRats put the new @YankumRopes XL rings to the test on an off road recovery!
    Oh, and after all was said and done, I tried backing up the same hill that the truck got stuck going forward on just to see if the @onspotnorthamerica22 auto chains would do it!

      As a flatbed driver this is the type of job I always enjoyed. A pain in the but with all the ups, downs, ins & outs, and back & forths. But when the people your working with have trust that you're capable of and are doing everything correctly and as they want you , it makes you feel good that everything got done safely and nothing/noone was damaged.
      Job well done by everyone!

      If i could just add my wee bit to this discussion, application needs to be mentioned, crane lifts…by the book a shackle ‘bolt’ would be screwed fully up and wire or pin locked.
      For winching equipment about a vessel deck or vehicle recovery where there is no lifting involved it is unlikely the shackle will see its full working load.
      Experienced riggers will often back off a shackle only because it lessens the chance of it tightening up under load and it’s easier to undo when disconnecting.
      In 40yrs I’ve never seen a shackle spread if used correctly.

    • @jordanhawkins7309
      @jordanhawkins7309 4 місяці тому +3

      @brucemitch928 having worked as a rigger before getting in the crane, I am guilty of backing a shackle off a 1/4 turn just so it doesn't bind when finished lifting. Only time I've ever seen a shackle spread was from being side loaded.

      Or as Ron Pratt is so fond of saying, "there are many ways to reach ten". You can add 4+4+2 or 5 and 5, or do it any number of other ways, and as long as it still adds up to ten, it still works. No one way is necessarily better than any other. Given my own past experiences as a towing/recovery technician, a heavy equipment operator, and a number of years as a flatbed and heavy haul trucker, among other things, I'd concur. There are always, of course, certain "no-no's"...But outside of that, whatever works, works, and half a dozen of one is as good as six of the other.

      Later on, in the 2000s, I needed continuing education credits for a job I had, and they didn't care where it came from (heh!), so I took the CCO for that. I think it was a day in the classroom, a day doing practicals (rigging, lifting, moving), and a written test; so 3 CEUs.

    Yes, shackles will spread if the bolt is not fully engaged. Loosen them a part turn and do that enough will eventually lead to less thread engagement by the bolt and lessen their rating by quite a bit. Thanks Casey!

      It also leaves the pin/bolt more likely to spin out. Had this happen during some crane picks flying parts in and out on a job. It was because the other guy wasn’t running the pin/bolt all the way in. As the line pulled up he wasn’t paying attention to see the pin spun nearly out on him.
      He still proceeded to argue that it was fine to do. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I call BS and he likely didn't just leave it out a 1/4 turn but likely didn't spin it in much at all! I'd bet he only spin it half a thread instead of backing it off half a turn. 1/4 is all you really need if you're backing it off at all.

    As a former tow operator, I 100% get the mystery part of the job prior to actually arriving - scenarios running through your mind (get this, don't forget that, etc.) Talking through your thoughts helps to build the Scope of Work and adds to the suspense of your videos - I like the way you do that...

    When you said you lived his name (driver) I lost it!!😂😂 and the old ranch man saying “I’m sure we’ll become friends” 😂 love that guy realizing you’re a badass go to!! Been watching forever Casey, fellow 4x4 wrecker operator in east TN! Over by the dragon/129. Let’s hope this helps the algorithm a little!!

    Both the ZackLift and the Auto Chains!!!
    (Of course, you can have ALL the best equipment, but without someone who KNOWS how to operate it, it's useless!!)
    Kudos to the FloridaDriver!!! He was an integral part of the team on this one!!!!
    Safe travels, friend ❤❤

    Your Zacklift sure makes you more than just a plain old tow truck operator. Being able to Boom out and boom up and winch lift while having a reasonable size truck attached gives you flexibility to get the job done, and might even eliminate some other operators from attempting this kind of job. I particularly like the way the Spades bite into the road and give you such a positive anchor for towing. Thanks for this video

    Honestly I love the variety of the multitude of different intros. It keeps things interesting. I’d say whatever makes sense for that, if you gotta prepare in the yard, that would be cool to see! If you gotta get fuel…… that may be interesting maybe not.
    Whatever feels natural or best for that video! No sense or need to make all the videos with the same format!

  • @duanebuck193

    Honestly? I love to see some of the scenery around you, but by the same token, I truly enjoy seeing the wrecker in action. I also truly enjoy the little snippets of learning that you give - I hope to never need a whole lot of them, but the understanding of why things are done the way they are is a good thing (and hopefully if my RV ever needs a big rig to tow me, I'll remember these tricks and teachings to make the drivers job just a little bit easier).

    Different openings are fine. Changing things up occasionally adds variety. But if I had to pick one, it would be 'just grab the camera and start on the job site.'
    I don't really care to see a driving montage in every video, nor need "let's get the truck started" in every opening.
    Do what you want to do and I'll watch what I feel like watching. Them's my feels.

    Amazing to see the progression, the more you do something (as long as you're being systematic, methodical - whatever the correct word for it is, about it), the better you should get at doing it - learning, registering, and potentially applying the new found knowledge for use for something else. Awesome video Casey, when I saw it was a long video, I was super stoked to watch along and was thankful that you don't cut up the videos, making us wait to see the eventual outcome, like a lot of UA-camrs like to do. Casey, being Casey, just a genuine decent character!

Man do you show your skills and experience with the “Heavy” work you do! And yes your tag line is “I never said I was good at this”, but you’re better than most and especially at the “Heavy” work. Thank you for the recommendation on the SetPower coolers, I just got a mini one and man does it get my water and sodas cold for the road! Can’t wait for my Cascade Heavy Rescue gear to show up!
