Semi Rollover!!! The Quicker Flipper Upper!!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 бер 2021
- Talk about close to home! This crash was just down the street from the shop and it was one of our good customers. Thankfully, no serious injuries. Semi truck with a flatbed trailer loaded with a crane counter-weight and crane mats rolled over, flipped, on an exit ramp. We used our 2015 Peterbilt with Miller Industries Century 1150R and our 2006 Western Star with a Vulcan V70 to upright the combination, then used the rotator to lift and reload the counterweight and mats. We had the ramp closed for just under an hour start to finish!!! Please SLOW DOWN & MOVE OVER!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

That rotator is amazing. Whoever dreamed up the ability to move the entire lifting assembly forward and back was a genius. I am always amazed at the power of these wreckers and the things they can do.
going back to where i left off. RIP to your dad. Amazing man.
"We will close the road for as long as you want". A sentence that only ever occurs in dreams this side of the ocean!
Nice when the customer can actually help and is not just in the way. That was a fun one to watch.
The help from the other company, shows respect to your equipment and crew, by doing a professional job. And you did so in return by trusting them. Teamwork!.
I don't know why I enjoy the rotator Content so much. Its just such a neat tool, like a swiss army knife for towing.
And it's better
Ron's the best!!
Your man MIke IS smart enough to listen and learn.. He Seems to be a quick and steady and A hard worker.. He takes pride in doing A good job.
Raymond is a good worker and hard working! He is more knowledgeable than my st on recovery jobs!
"Slow and steady" - "Nice and Easy" The Midwest Truck Company Trademark.
That's because he learned from the best of racers: the tortoise! 😏
Forgot 2 more "ALWAYS Throatload" and whatever mater says 😆
And we see what happens when you try to go fast, from other Towing and recovery channels, who have less experience then Ron. And what happens? Its called The Epic Fail. There are many UA-cam video's showing Epic towing and recovery fails. But Ron is a cut above the rest, he don't take chances, he's a real professional through and through.
"Small moves"
Mr. Pratt, I know you can't please everyone. I would like longer videos showing more of the thinking and rigging that goes on to do the job. Keep up the good work and STAY SAFE!
Never ceases to amaze me as to the versatility of the 'Tator! Somebody with a lot of tow experience had to be involved with all that design, and it pays off in spades!!
Love that Tator, what a machine. Give Mike a high five. Always willing to show initiative to do what's needed to help get the job done. Kudos Mike.
I can't figure out why I watch these videos, I drive truck I'm broke down waiting for a tow truck watching a tow truck get another truck.. lol lol
Your thinking He He He someone else is getting a four figure tow bill besides me.
It's always a great day watching Midwest Truck videos. My husband and I look forward to each one, and we learn a lot, too.
Perhaps you could nip down to the Suez canal and show them how to move that ship.
MARTIN! I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!
My thoughts exactly
Lol
Tell them to open their checkbook and I'll start heading that way....LOL
@@RonPratt good one lol XD
As always, the versatility of the Tator with Ron's expertise, made the recovery look easy. Thanks for sharing.
I was surprised that they chose to leave the counterweight standing up instead of laying it down. At least it was a quick and smooth process getting that scene cleaned up!
BUT WHEN THEY CHOSE TO PUT THE COUNTER WEIGHT ON THE BACK OF THE TRAILER! YOU WANT 👌 MORE WEIGHT AT THE FRONT?
Yep, it looks like that weight will just laugh at any chains trying to hold it up.
Perhaps that's why it went over in the first place ?
Me too, I can only guess that it's actually too big and would hang over the edge of the trailer... Ron is a smart dude and would tell them to lay it down if it was possible.
That decking on the trailer though, I'd be ashamed to let my customers see that.
The counterweight, truck, trailer, crane pads and everything else at the scene belonged to the customer. This is why Ron did not object when he pointedly remarked that Ron had no authority to tell them how to load, secure and care for their property. Otherwise he would be held liable for anything bad that happened after they left the scene. It's their stuff. Let them do with it as they will. Also be sure to include all the services fees that would have been part of any invoices billed to the customer.
The Tator got put to the test on this one. Flexed it's mussel and never blinked. Nice job Ron. Stay safe.
I am honestly surprised, that even with two straps, they were able to handle the load of 30,000 pounds without breaking! If it were me, I would have used chains for that job. But clearly Ron knows more of what those straps are capable of then I lol.
@@stellarproductions8888 The orange strap that I used has a safe WLL of 40,000 lbs vertical at a 5:1 safety factor and the blue strap has a safe WLL of 21,200 lbs vertical at a 5:1 safety factor. So the slings used were capable of safely lifting over double the weight of the counterweight and still have been within their safe working load limits when used together. The winch cable (line) used on the main boom winches have a safe working load limit (WLL) of around 17,000 lbs. I had each line doubled so there were 4 lines to the load, which equals roughly 68,000 lbs safe WLL on the winch lines as they were configured for this lift. Again, capable of safely lifting over double the weight of the crane counterweight. The biggest thing working against me on this lift was the weight of the counterweight at the DISTANCE that it was from the rotator on the initial lift and the "short-jack" that I had to do with the left rear outrigger. This comment/response is not meant in a negative manner. It is meant only to inform and be educational. I hope this was helpful information. Thanks for watching and God bless.
@@RonPratt maybe one day you can do a educational video demonstrating what all the color cables life and the orientations and how that plays on the weights and what doubling and tripling the winch lines does and all that .. then in the future if anyone has questions you can link them to that video so they can learn about it
@@RonPratt I take no offence at all Ron, I love to learn new things, its one of the reasons why I watch your channel. You are a professional, and very respectful person, and I appreciate all that you do.
@@stellarproductions8888 yeah and change they possibly won't do the job good because they would probably snap
Darn, the Drag Line came into play. The cable now happy it was used. That tall slim dude should let the crane do the work and not try to muscle the load into position. Will learn when his back starts aching. Great job and video Ron. That some "Heavy Metal" you had by the tail. Be Safe and have a good day.
The other side of the spectrum? A bicycle rollover. OUCH!!!!!! Great video.
the Rotator showing just why it is so useful to have when having to clear up this sort of mess and showing it has the lifting power that can be needed where others would have to call out a crane
Always good to hear our father put in his opinion. He never stops assessing the situation and use of equipment. Easy to see who taught you.
I want thank you for your videos. I grew up in a mining demolition family business. My grand father used the rigging techniques used on the long shore loading and off loading ships he learned as a young man for he of the things he moved.
Your care in the rigging of your recoveries, remind me of many things he rigged to lift of mining equipment, construction and logging equipment over the steep backs from accidents.
I have also learned a lot from you. Thank you again for the videos
Marla Rogers from Helena MT
I'm thinking a lot stuff about that accident but I'll just keep my mouth shut. Great job Ron!
Good safe job. No snow or ice. Plus it was close to the shop. Thanks Ron.
No sign of your " arc " nemesis . Y'all got spoiled on that job !
If I heard correctly, the trucking company was mostly rigging/un-rigging the wooden beams... WOW that is awesome to see them say " stand back guys we got this" lol in a very nice way.. lol
Kinda like sayin.. Our mess, we'll clean it up.
That was a good lift Ron, ol momma goose didn't grunt a bit. That was a good TEST ON THE BOOM AND CABLES
God Bless D - Tater !!!!.💪 " Mighty Joe Young " got nothin over the Tater. Thanks Bud, fer taking us along !!.
Well done, you fellows! Ron, ever since you got that pneumonia I have heard you huffing and working to catch your breath and this was the first time since you were ill that you sounded "right" - I'm really glad to hear it! Well done!
Thank you! Wonder why he was grunting all the time. It can be distracting. But now I understand. Again thank you
When the first hydraulics came out and began replacing the old Holmes 750s'the industry thought we had the world by the tail. Sure the brute pulling strength of most of the winches was not that of the outside gear driven Holmes winches (nothing has ever been able to match their effectiveness) but they were easier to use, quicker and safer. Then came the first generation of rotators. Great idea, incorporating the mobile crane and the wrecker in the same chassis .Now we are blessed with these new monster rotators which turns everything into a numbers game, no feel at all through the controls. However ,what a job they can do and in half the time. Too bad they still don't cost around $25,000.00.
That beautiful truck is just amazing with the toughest of jobs. I can’t believe that truck was uprighted and drove away. Pretty tough stuff.
That truck is a paid actor, you can tell by the way it landed on its wheels
Job well done guys, stay safe
Seeing it lift and maneuver that big old weight really underlines how they managed to build a heck of a lot of crane into a quite small package (from the turret rails upwards). It's always impressive when it's working hard like that.
Nicely done.
Bless your heart, Mike , you’re a sweetheart
When flipping the semi was the easy part of the job lol. Nice work by everyone and possibly a new record for shortest response for you.
Good Morning My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir & God Bless You & All Of You're Whole Family & Yes I Am Still Praying For You & All Of You're Whole Family & All Of The People In The Big Truck Accident
Never realized how important tow operators are thank you for all yall do sending positive vibes from Virginia
It is their natural state of works
Good. Morning everyone! Ron I sent you some strobe lights to your shop. Should be there in a few days.
God bless you all at Midwest trucking
Time and Time again you and your staff show true professionalism in everything you do. Congratulations !!
Tator is an Absolute Beast of a machine made that 30,000 lb lift look easy
Ron thank you for the great videos. I always enjoy the content you put on the channel. My son leaves on Tuesday for basic training. Thank you for all you do to keep the roads open. God bless.
Mr. Pelley, my best wishes for your son on entering the service. I served both active Air Force and MI Army Guard. So I know what is ahead for him. Just follow orders and learn THEIR way!
🇳🇱Craftsmanship is mastery again worked perfectly.👍👍👍👍👍🍀
Thanks Ron and Team, LOVE IT when a Plan comes together..GOD BLESS ALL AND STAY SAFE.
Dear Ron you are doing good job you are trainer we learned from you thanks 🙏
Another Master class Ron on “how to do it”. However, if the semi that rolled over was loaded the same way as the rescue trailer, it’s not really a big surprise when it rolled over. The centre of gravity is very high. The weight and wood beams should have gone on a low loader in my humble opinion!!!
Zundapp, truer words never spoken...woulda, coulda, shoulda
Poor Mike lol trying to get in to work but the other Dudes kept taking over lol. Great video that truck is a Beast!
Hey now, Mike was pivotal in pushing that stack of wood into position. He's skills didn't go completely wasted. :D
Mike knows he's on camera around Ron lol
Mike seems to b a good hard worker.
What are we gonna do with the traffic....
Very cool state trooper: I guess they will just have to wait!
That folks is what you call mutual respect! There is one of his videos where the county Sheriff is blocking traffic for ron!
he knows when ron can do his job right and easy, he do it faster. in this case all other they have maybe a choose go around other ways in case off intersection
Just FYI, if you're talking about the guy around 2:20 that said it, he was Fire Dept. If memory serves from some of Ron's other vids, I think I recognize him, and if so he is a captain. Could be wrong on the last. Otherwise, I wholeheartedly agree. And the Sheriff (THE Sheriff, not a deputy) has blocked traffic for Ron and otherwise assisted him on quite a few occasions. They clearly a have deep mutual respect and working relationship, as well as a personal friendship. Ron has a similar relationship with many of local police and fire personnel, and works closely with them, they also cross-train together periodically. As it should be.
"You load 15 [sic] tons, what do you get?

That turned out quite easy considering the weights.....well done...
Amazing all the team work that went together to gather to solve the problem and recover
Thank you for your kind comments. Thank you for watching and God Bless!
Its always nice when you got a helping hand. Great video Ron.
praise God the driver was not hurt in this wreck and the officer was great to let you know that you could have as long as you need you have some great police officer there and i thank all them for there service to your community
You make it look easy on doing these jobs
Awesome , always interesting , Thanks Ron
She is a good girl 😉🤠 I love 💕 her work 💘🙂 good work to Mr Pratt xx
I enjoy learning about towing and lifting from your show.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota. Crisp and frosty morning to go out and blade county roads
I'm pretty sure that counter weight is for a 350 ton Grove truck crane. It's bottom is slightly tapered which is why it sat on the trailer and leaned a little towards the rotater. We haul ours long ways and in a 2 ft. high tube steel rack built for it. If we don't have the rack, we use extra chains.
Standing up the they did is because that's how it goes onto the crane, and how it's designed to be picked.
Good job guys! Be safe!
just went back and watched this clip again i guess it brings back memories for you because i think i see your dad was in it also
Ron,you and your crew, talk in 1/2 sentences, or just a few words. Laymanize is non- existence. All this means that you are tuned in to each other. Neat.
A dual rotator capability would be extremely helpful in making a fully safe flip. I also agree that slow moves make for a safe recovery.
Ron and co,you always make it look easy!!!! God bless ,,,I love watching you guys work !!!
Congrats on the job well done, and for reaching 400K subs!!! It seems it was only yesterday that you are just near the 10k mark when I found your channel. It has grown leaps and bounds, and we are soooo happy. You have been teaching us how to work, quickly, safely and with nothing but professionalism. May God bless you and the family, workers and friends.
That was nice of them to be so willing to just close off the road.
Stay safe out there Ron
I don't' think they had much of a choice.
That was a piece of cake, Mr Pratt. You guys make it look easy, but I know you do a lot of thinking before you start the job. Stay safe and healthy!
Thank you. Really enjoy how you produce and present the videos.
Beautiful, safe job Ron and Mike! God Bless.
Hi Ron I like your channel .God bless and keep it SAFE . From an old gear jammer years ago 60s an 70s.
Missed watching on friday. Cause im having fun this weekend. REALLY COULD USE THE TATOR. Im helping at church to load an equipment container for a missionary in Romania so he can build camp there. Unfortunately the container is still on the chassis. They were able to secure use of an orchards flatbed semi and use of the neighboring Tractor Supply Company to use the indoor door dock. Its being interesting. Be so much easier if it was on the ground. My brother has went on a Brazil missions trip in youth group and now im helping with this container load for the missions. I love my new (almost 4yrs) job im close to my church and closer to family and when i was looking for a better job i wanted to be closer to family and church so i could be more involved
Thank you for being out in any weather. God bless.
I did a double-take about 24:00 when that cement truck in the back went by; I thought it was making highway speed in reverse!
😂😂😂 lol
Common sense, experience, professionalism, good interaction with the customers and of course his training, by who, his "Dad"
Greetings from Dublin Ireland God bless you all and keep safe.
Why would people dislike this video? Nice work ron.
Great work clearing that one up. And boy it must’ve been nice having those professional riggers on site to assist ya.
“Bounty” (The Quicker Picker Upper) and Ron @ Midwest Towing seem Like 👍 a Natural Fit. 😬👍
Good suggestion it really took a long time to get the ship moved. As always great job by a great team
Stay safe lifting heavy stuff. We had a new truck crane drop and swing 10000kg through the engine. Welds broke from the cranes cylinder. Operator was lucky.
Always good to see Ron and Crew recover a wreck like this quickly and efficiently.
I think that the people trying to recover the Evergreen Ever Given in the Suez Canal could take some critical pointers from Ron...
I like the Police and Fire attitude in your area. I'm a law enforcement officer in TX and I've watched the Netflix shows Highway to Hell and Heavy Rescue 401 and the Canadian Police are always rushing the tow company!!!!!! Not on my watch. Enough safety issues as it is without rushing everybody. I love when you were discussing with the fire guy about shutting down and he says:" I don't care. We can shut the whole thing down!" When it comes to making sure the tow driver, myself, and anyone else working the scene, I'll shut down a full four lane interstate and make Joe public go side roads or frontage roads as we have in TX. They can deal with it. You guys got a job to do. And not an easy one at that with traffic smoking your back side. Stay safe and keep up the good work!!!
I am so glad to hear you say that. I wish more people understood the dangers we face. Thank you for your service. God bless.
Great job Ron AND your team! That was one heavy paper weight you had to lift!
Great work from you and your team .love watching your videos. God bless from N.Z
Celebrating my first notification of a new video since I subscribed to the channel . Thank you for sharing with us the work you do.
Look back through Ron's library! He has some amazing videos. Look up his cemetery video from a few years back.
@@teaches2010 love that video.
Ron! You used the GREEN winch! Very fast recovery. Good job to you and the team, and the trooper sure made things go fastr.
Lots of helpers , good to see it worked out well. 🐸
Great recovery Ron and the guys at Midwest Truck!
Man that truck and trailer came over pretty easy.
The world needs more people like you Ron. I like your show. Nice music too. 👍
Impressive. Perfect crew for help, and absolute trust in your skills.
GREAT 👍 JOB AS USUAL RON! WHY ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE! EVERYBODY SAFE !
I'm always impressed with just how versatile and competent 'Tater is under a good maser. Good job!
Nice you all worked together.. customer rigged you picked.. Just professional.
Jaw dropping perfection as usual,! Love watching you guys work
Great video Ron, Midwest to the rescue!!!!!
"customer did the rigging..." That's teamwork.
That's the kind of Help that more people ought to do . But then those guys do that every day and automatically have it in their heads to help . Great recovery . Great video .
truck and trailer probably lost a few pounds after that slam knocked loose all the dirt!
Congratulations on 400000 Ronnie ! Been posting all your videos on my Twitter ❤️ Folks
I used to hate hauling crane weights.. Finally figured out a system that worked for us so they weren't quite so top heavy.. I'd even go wide load if I needed too but mostly put em on my 3 axle single drop..
I guess when the customer is a crane company you can let them do the rigging
Agreed, I think crane operators have years of both collage certification, as well as the years of experience in the business. So ya, they can do the rigging lol.
Was thinking the same thing. If anyone knows lifting, its crane guys. And by the looks of that counterweight, it aint no little one either

@@stellarproductions8888 if they are Union crane operators they do not go to college but do go through the Union Operating Engineers Apprenticeship program and then be certified for specific equipment I’m a retired Union Boilermaker and we always did our own rigging and the Operators ran the equipment they did not do any rigging
