Don’t know why anyone would purchase a rotator that didn’t slide! The reach out the rear is impressive! At full extension what are you limited to lifting at the rear? I’m sure of all the calls you have been on that when you arrive at the scene you just wonder how and why? Working on school busses I’ve arrived at many break downs and wondered the same thing! The 65 will continue to impress you with its capabilities and us subscribers will be right there to see it! Thanks for the video looking forward to the next one!
This was a nice report. It is quite an achievement to be able to work with such a powerful tool. We hope to see you next time in Haarlem (near Amsterdam) in the Netherlands.
Simple lift and a pull for the 65 ton nice job and a great video .. As for the Driver of the truck what can you say ????? Enjoy yourself and have a nice weekend
We thought about it, but for us I just feel that the steel line is more forgiving when it may come into contact with something like the back of a trailer from time to time....Not to mention it adds about $15k to the cost of the truck. It would certainly be easier to handle though!
Yes, we chose the 18sp. I personally have not driven one with the Allison, but I hear they are nice. I also hear they are quite a bit more pricey than a standard.
It will be getting one eventually. NRC changed the location of where they mount the camera compared to the one on our 50 ton, and we like the location of where the one on the 50 ton is mounted better.
I realize you always take this stuff slow but will the winches and booms move faster if you want them to??. I think you are getting use to that truck pretty quick with all the buttons and touch screens👍👍✌
The screen is becoming easier to memorize after repeated use for sure. The winches and the rotate have a fast and a slow speed. All of the rest of the functions have one speed, although you can switch the hydraulic valve body between 50% and 100%, meaning when operating the controls if 50% is selected then the hydraulic valve will only open 50%, thus causing it to move slower.
@@miked19831988 I hate road closures because they make navigation for us a pain in the day-to-day routes we would normally take, but I also enjoy road closures because it's usually a guarantee that we're going to get work out of it when people decide to ignore the signs.
Other than detachability is there an actual reason for the boom to hook into the under lift? Seems like it requires that attachment to use the underlift which seems like a major pain in the ass to me, I love the NRC rollbacks but that has got to be one of the things I really question about the rotators they make, Seems very over complicated.
It really is not complicated if you were up close to the truck and studied it, and I think it would make more sense to people. Because the turret on the 65 ton is able to slide back almost 11 ft all the way to the tail board, they use the space at the back for the slider rail structure, instead of using it for the entire structure, subframe, and cylinders required for an independent under lift. The main boom of the rotator when hooked into the under lift is what moves the under lift up/down, and telescoping the boom in and out provides the tilt up/down for the under lift. The under lift itself is very simplified with only 2 cylinders on it, providing the fold up/down and telescope in/out functions.
@@WilcoxGarageRecovery Well I don’t know that complicated was the right word as you are right it does remove a lot of components that would otherwise be there, but what I mean is it seems like it turns a quick simple job into a pain having to uncouple it every time, but removing cylinders from the underlift and adding bed travel does probably make it worth it.
@@towtruckaj I can see what you mean, because yes, it does add another step having to unhook the boom from the under lift each time you want to use the boom for lifting. For us, we're used to it because NRC is the only heavy wrecker brand we have ever used. We prefer having the full turret travel because it is a lot more forgiving with truck placement on recoveries and lifting jobs, being able to position your boom at almost any height and angle within a wide area, and still maintain boom capacity by simply sliding and rotating. It really comes down to brand preference and how an operator intends on using the truck, and what matters more to the operator.
The box truck was bottomed out resting on the air tanks at the edge of the pavement, and we didn't want to take a chance of shifting them or puncturing one.
Thanks again for sharing your work
I have watched all of your posts at least once
Some more than that
great job that 65 ton rotator with the slide is so versatile 😊
Don’t know why anyone would purchase a rotator that didn’t slide! The reach out the rear is impressive! At full extension what are you limited to lifting at the rear?

Expensive $$$
All states have different regulations about wrecker size. Slides require a longer wheelbase that may be oversized for state limints.
At full extension, it can reach 31 feet off the rear of the truck when slid all the way back, and has a lifting capacity of 16k lbs
The truck is 39ft 9in from the front bumper to the tail of the under lift, which is in legal specs
Very nice sliding rotator truck. Great job on the recovery. Thanks for sharing.
This was a nice report.

Amazing power and strength in that boom.
Very nice work. Very nice truck.
Forgot to watch this.... but i did just now, made it look easy!
Awesome job guys
Keep up the good work
Great job!!😄😄😄😄
Nice job!💪👊
Good job with new truck.
That was impressive!!👍
Is this guy for real? If I saw you operate like this I never would have sold you this magnificent machine...TAKE A CLASS IN PHYSICS
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video! 👍🏻
Great video well done!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video!
Practice will help!!! 😮😅
Easy Pickings with the new Rotator.
great video... what size grommet slings did you use?
Thanks! For this pick we used the 1/2" ones, 6 footers for around the bumper/bar, and 8 footers for the vertical lift
That was nothing for that Beast of a truck 💪💪
Have you ever considered the synthetic line for your winches?
We thought about it, but for us I just feel that the steel line is more forgiving when it may come into contact with something like the back of a trailer from time to time....Not to mention it adds about $15k to the cost of the truck. It would certainly be easier to handle though!
? did you have a preference over the 18 speed over an Allison RDs4700?
Yes, we chose the 18sp. I personally have not driven one with the Allison, but I hear they are nice. I also hear they are quite a bit more pricey than a standard.
I wanted to see the 65 ton pick itself out of the ditch😅
😂😂😂😂
That's why there was one person watching while it was backed up into the field entrance 😂
No rear view camera on that rig?
It will be getting one eventually. NRC changed the location of where they mount the camera compared to the one on our 50 ton, and we like the location of where the one on the 50 ton is mounted better.

What is the name of the gentleman that you were working with today
That is Tad, who also happens to be my next door neighbor.
Getting the truck set up nice ! Keep bringing the video. Give the brother a sub and hit the like button
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the channel.
Road closed ? 598 or 61 ?
This one was actually 99 north of Monroeville.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Because closure isn’t an option 😉
Neither is reading ROAD CLOSED
😂 closure is only an option when ODOT is involved
@@WilcoxGarageRecovery even then people still will drive right up to the sceen and want to go through.

Road closed means drive down to see why it is closed.
Seems to be the usual case 😂

Faster and lighter, better all around, fiber instead of chains.
The synthetic is nice too because it does scratch the finish like chains will
typical 6 wheeler
sorry instead of pissing around trying to lift it up just hook on and pull it out

I Didn't want to say that. Beautiful truck & good job.
Shut up
