- Stolen telehandler SMASHED by train! Alex and Josh back at it again with another insane recovery. Received this call from our buddy Rolando to respond to a pretty crazy job. I was told someone stole this telehandler and somehow managed to get hit by a train. Don't think the driver was caught, but man the damage was done.
As you'll see in the video, every single part of this poor truck was impacted. The cab was crushed, the rear axle snapped like a tooth pic, axles messed up, everything. Wasn't too sure how we would be able to access this job or how bad the unit would be, so Alex and I responded in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator, and myself in Hulk, my 50ton rotator.
As bad as the description was, the job was actually a lot easier than I thought. For starters, Hulk wasn't really needed until the end for a small part. There was an excavator on site who provided us with some help with the tires. We were also able to back up parallel to the unit and using Big Flippers brute strength, lift and swing this unit to the street to be set directly on a Landoll.
This poor telehandler was damaged in every way possible. From the wheels, to the axles, the cab to the boom, it's ALL BAD as Joe would say. My guess is it goes straight to scrap, but who knows?
The damage isn't on par with the tow truck video I posted last week, but it's up there. What do you guys think? And if you REALLY want to support your favorite tow channel, become a member here: / @pepestowingservice

I've got my top 5 video's from 3 years now. No end in site for Pepe,s towing.
I was wondering why your crew wear dark uniforms, especially in the L.A. area. Dark colors absorb heat more than light colors.
@@slimwantedman6694 what are your top 5?
@@murrayparr3244 because pink was taken 😂
Of course we Love CRACRA stuff!
I love it. The telehandler was hit by a train and smashed to pieces and you guys are worried about scratching the paint!!! Now that is conscientious.
Haha good catch. It's a force of habit, we take great pride in causing as little further damage as possible. On huge wrecks, it's inevitable sometimes. But we aren't like the other channels who see a recovery and have no respect for the casualty.
You're not supposed to damage it any worse than it already is
Professionalism commitment to doing quality work regardless of the situation. That is awesome. People need to watch this and learn from it
Tell that to my "competition" lol
You don't have competition if they don't have respect
You guys get the craziest of calls
And that's why people love my channel. We are very blessed and proud to handle LA's biggest and hardest wrecks
@@PepesTowingService Plenty of variety keeps life interesting. Any call out is better than being stuck behind a desk, right?
Here I am a 75 yr old woman getting a load of cabinet shop waste wood in my humble old manual Ranger yesterday and a big, long trailer load of lumber comes in for a delivery. What fun to move aside for the big forklift and then time to walk around and look at points on the trailer you've pointed out for this or that use.
Pepe's Towing Channel should grow by leaps and bounds for so many reasons. Keep up the high standards!
That's awesome! I stay so busy with work that I wish I could devote even more time to this channel to grow, but I'm content with how organic it is and the steady climbing thanks to viewers like yourself.
Your words are inspirational.
We here in Canada are very impressed with your talent, patients,and it's not rocket science driving a train.
Thank you!
Alex and Josh together there are my favorite team
Josh and Alex another awesome job! Looks like Alex got a haircut! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
My new favorite channel! So damn fascinating how everything comes together. Thanks for your hard work, Team Pepe
Thank you! Glad my lil niche channel is getting some love
You make hard work seem easy and fun. Really enjoy watching you guys at work.
"love what you do, and you'll never work a day in your life". My dad says this quote a ton and often people just say that, but we REALLY love what we do. Definitely doesn't feel like work.
Josh and Alex never get a chance to get bored with routine jobs. There's always a Joker in the deck to present a few challenges for them. Great job and some precision placement, as always.
I don't like boring tow after boring tow. Mix it up please let me operate recovery once in a while or flatbed a boat with no trailer or a dead cow or two. Mix it up. Make me use my brain once in a while. Rollback operator nor-cal.
The Telehandlers are becoming just as frequent as rolled containers lately. lol
For reals they're in season now
I like the boom cam. 😅 We need to see more of it!!
Thank you! I don't use this camera enough and man is it cool
Nice work as usual Alex, it might be a good time to hit the boss up for a raise!!
Nice try Alex 😂
14:40 "Don't worry, we'll get your brother off soon" 😂😂
Grate work keeps the customers happy and back for more.
Great recovery once again by the A team Josh + Alex! I wonder who left the keys in the Telehandler? That person cost their company mega bucks!
Those are pretty easy to start. I carry a set of construction equipment jiggler keys to start all kinds of machines for when we have to transport them.
Insurance Company: It got hit by a what!!!
Hope they had Farmers
Looks like a brand new unit. Quite sad. Great job as always!
Y’all are the best at this stuff!!👍👍
Nice cleat image. Nice filming.
19:30 ITS A LEGIT SKYTRAK NOW 😂
For when the sky meets the track, get a Skytrak.
BIG Flipper, THE BEAST.
75 tons of fun
Fantastic job rotating the unbalanced load of the boom being extended! Stay Safe Guys
Thanks 👍
Nice job guys Keep up the good work
Hey Josh & ALL Crew !!! Great job of getting the machine loaded with NO more damage to the RR or machine !! 👍👍👍👍👍 Quick repairs & back to work for sure !!! 🙂🙃😉
Excellent video! Combining the two things I love. Recovery and railfaning! Speaking of railfaning I regularly watch videos on what's called "Street Running Trains". There are towns and cities where locomotives run down the streets of the town, Lagrange, Ky is one example..... I can just imagine living where a locomotive comes through your town on a daily basis. Of course there have been bone headed accidents...... 🤦
Keep up the good work.
Mr Josh You and your crew made that look easy. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Insane job--one of the best yet!
Every time I watch your videos, you constantly up your game. Well done!!❤
Thank you! That's the goal, to never be complacent and always improve so we can tackle these big jobs with ease and safety.
Great job
Another crazy call for a telehandler
Great recovery by you both....You work great together.....Stay safe and see you on the next one
Telehandlers, the flavor of the month !
Haha for reals, and this isn't even all of them!
Buenas tardes, Alex,Josh, otro gran trabajo, bonitas imágenes con el dron.❤👍👏🖐️💪🇪🇦. Jesús.
Gracias por ver
Props to Alex, good job my brother!!
Great work guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the work guys great recovery
The CHP loves PEPE’S because they keep the traffic moving while they recover
Amazing what you guys go threw I am glad I can watch what u guys do I live in utah and I still think amazing
Quite often I do go out and do some Rail Fanning and see so many really stupid things. Where so many people think that they can play chicken and win. TRAINS WILL ALWAYS WIN!!!! no matter what.
you do a Very good job i am glad that the train crew and the rail road worker are safe
My home town is captured by the train , but, I'm used to seeing trains rolling through at 15 to 20 mph , or less, to see the train go by at that speed was terrifying.
Awesome job guys.
Railroad worker was an artist with that claw!
Yup, he was surgical
Nice work. No extra scratches or dents. The train took care of that job. That excavator was a handy addition to the team.
👍 keep up these awesome videos I love watching your videos
Another great job guys. One of those hurry up and wait deals.
1st time view from the UK. Now a subscriber 😊😊
I'm seeing a trend here😂! this is like 4 in a row with tele-handlers!
Bro, Love the content, just subscribed! I saw Pepe's hauling out a couple of behemoth homeless RVs in Santa Monica on another channel, it was great! The mayor of LA is telling everybody the reason they can't move the RV encampments is because the city doesn't have any heavy tow haulers! Is Pepe's getting the contract for that work? You guys would have a full card for a year just getting rid of ALL the broken-down RVs littering the streets of LA! Pepe's seems like the only shop that could get that work done fast and efficiently! Hope to maybe see some of that content in the future!
Very good video, I really enjoyed it. You and Alex got it all handled and it looks like you were working with a great crew of guys. By the way……Jeffery looks like he might have a migraine!! Thanks!😊
Hello Josh,
Hey man, it looks like you have a catapeler on your upper lip. 😂😂😂
Love the videos, keep up the good work, Alex also.
essrtE-in's In Kingre Really Interesting. I wish I could see the front of the train. Probably a disaster. The guy who talked about two rotators has a channel with 3 subscribers. I sense jealousy. The drone video was excellent. I wish I hadn't slept through optics so I could understand the distortion of wide angle lenses. Thanks always for the video. All the stuff before Really is done for me somehow.
It's always jealousy and ignorance. People like that are sheep lol. And thank you! Felt nice to concentrate on the drone while Alex did his thing
Thanks for another great video! I like that hi-vis green hardhat - any chance you could share the make/model or a web URL for it? Thanks!
Oh man I don't even know where I got this one! But I specifically got it because of the visor. It comes in handy when you use cutting equipment
The camera angle starting 57:40 is really fun good job
Man you almost need a Century M100 for these types of jobs! Incredible work!
Glad to see Geoffrey Head. He's a dependable head. He keeps showing up for work.
I like how Alex was careful backing over the curb, so as not to damage the tires... Ron...
Josh,…. Big Flipper ‘n Alex, America’s premiere recovery team.
Love this channel. One question who the hell left the keys in the telehandler? Great work & you guys must hear beeping in your sleep ✌️
Another awesome performance 🤓🙋♂️👍 , watching in ohio
Is this the same audience that follows you to all of your jobs? You should find them a bigger shade tree.
Did someone steal the telehandler and put it on the tracks on purpose? They got tired of putting pennies on the tracks?
Great recovery but how in the world does a Skylift get to be on or near the train tracks when a train is due. Looks like a serious lack of communication. Hope no one was injured. Thanks for sharing your work. Following from Sydney Australia.
Well that was a wild one. Alex was so smooth on that he'd make it good brain surgeon. Steak and lobster on the railroad guys. None them looked like they missed any meals.
Forget Range Rovers. They will break your heart, and your bank.
Really strong machine..
Right! It took some DAMAGE but what a solid machine to still look this good after a hit by a train. I was expecting it to be torn in half lol
Big Flipper to the rescue again. 💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪🤟🤟🤙🤙🤙👍👍👍👍
Another efficient and competent job by Pepe's. Thanks for video.
04:47 - About how much does one snatch-block-and-hook assembly weigh? I don't think you fellows need to go the gym for workouts!
Roughly 55 pounds each
@@scuss2 we replaced the snatch blocks for a different model with heavier hooks and sheaves
@@scuss2 thank you for watching be safe
Josh,remember the old lady saying,where is the beef,where is the Joe,when are we going to see the THREE AMIGOS.
Joe is primarily a tower. He's there when we need his wrecker or a Landoll if he isn't busy. Alex and I operate the rotators and the ones who record hence why it's always us
Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short?
Team perfect 👍🏼💪🏼
Love your videos, just a quick question, you leave that machine hanging while waiting for a mechanic, that seems like a lot of unnecessary stress on your hydraulic system and rigging, wouldn't it be better to set it down while waiting?
Zero additional stress.
Cant you secure it to the deck then use the cable to pull the extension in?
Парни отлично работаете ювелирно и чётко. Успехов в работе. 👍🔥🤝😉
Pepe's lead guys Alex & Josh put on clinics for other recovery operators every time they go on jobs. They're thorough, explain what's going on, and are experts in rigging. I learn a lot about cabling from them, for my work in elevated boom lifts doing tree removal. Thank you, guys. 🤙👍
Thank you sir, really appreciate it and hope the best for your career
Diesel creek needs the forks off that unit
Man that fork was more of a mess than my relationship problems 😂😅
That was cool seeing the shadow of the drone, it looked like a mosquito on my screen
I hate backing over curbs, most of the time it rips off the mud flaps
That's what a spotter is here for or you can use wood
@PepesTowingService usually I forget, or to much of a hurry
@Bryan-FAA-certified we've all done it lol myself included
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota. What the hell is this telle-handler pandemic? 3 in a row
Alex got rid of the hair huh? 😂 Looks good
You guys get unique missions
Catch me out side them tracks…lazy Josh….just kidding…😂😂😂😂
2:42 “but what do I know, I’m just a UA-camr.” That’s funny because I’m an automotive master technician and I constantly say “but what do I know, I’m just a stupid oil change guy” as a joke haha.
I can say it in one word : BANGLERS.
Trains always win. It doesn’t matter what you’re driving. Sadly too many people today think the world is nothing more than a GTA game. Pretty sad, it’s looks like a brand new tractor.
Came very close to putting the sky crane into the side of the rotator during the initial lift. Bet the booty puckered a little when the swing inwards toward the truck started.
A UA-camr. lol. You might be good at it brother. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Train cars = mobile graffiti canvases.
Josh why did you go with a pusher axle for Hulk and a tag axle for Big Flipper?
Because flipper doesn't tow. It's designed for maximum recovery capabilities and to do that it needs to turn better than the other trucks
@@PepesTowingService. Ok. Thanks Josh.
Saludos de Tijuana arturo padilla ei ales yy con pañera que trabajo tan chingo
gracias compa , saludos
Did anyone check to see if the boom would retract? It would make the situation easier. If it will start, it mostlikely will retract.
Did you even see the video? That's literally a huge part of this video
Can you do a review on how the remote works on 88
You move the levers that corresponds with the boom functions. Would be a 69 second boring video.
👍! One tire and rim on those range rovers cost more than four19.5 tires on my old cable hooker..😎
killer drone shots
not ta mention
whole vid
Can’t wait for my hoodie to turn up, i mean the postage to uk cost more than the hoodie but hey whatever, just hope it fits me 😅
Say hi to the Landoll driver with the orange hat. From the last video in the power plant lake
Great job. The only thing I would consider changing is walking under the load. Hydraulics fail especially after being hit by a train. Safety First
that thing looks almost brand new
It's the bright paint job, looks new but more wrecked than a mustang in a crowd
cool
While the chain is broken to retract boom, they should have been able to push it in with loader, or rig up winch line to pull it in...could have eliminated need to remove forks. But ya got er done!
Nice equipment.
Alex you get recognized by the yellow helmet.
