Loaded propane tanker rollover recovery UNDER A BRIDGE

- Loaded propane tanker rollover recovery UNDER A BRIDGE - Far too many people think rollovers under bridges are impossible. If you're familiar with this channel, you already know it's not only possible but we do them semi-frequently. Low overhead powerlines, close quarters, single lane roads, over passes, etc. No job too tough for the dynamic rotator duo of Hulk and Big Flipper.
I really wish I was present for this one, but the job was still expertly done by my father, Dave and Alex. Using recovery straps and raw power, they were able to upright and tow the tractor and tanker back to the customer's yard.

What a team. Just dig it when your dad is on the job. 1st responders know it's safe recovery when you guys roll in! Could of been so much worse!
I’ve been driving tankers with propane, butane, and anhydrous ammonia for the last 10 years. This could’ve been a major disaster. You guys are top notch!
You can feel how focused they all are. this job site is dead silent. You could hear a pin drop, No time killing chatter to the camera just butt puckered and triple checking everything. Great video and flawless work like we expected.
Tanks like this are designed and built under Federal Regulations for strength and safety. It amazes me that no provision is engineered in advance for ease of lifting or positioning. It is an absolute certainty that at some time a pressure tank will end up on its side or over an embankment... Given the certainly of that, it is crazy to me that these tanks don't have an array of engineered lifting attachment points right from the point of build. this is a huge oversight of the agency in charge. Great job of getting this done in such a challenging situation.. Amazing teamwork, even more amazing problem solving in the field👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I agree, at least 4 lifting eyes should be incorporated into the strongest points of the tank.
Whilst it sounds like a good idea, the lifting points could introduce points of weakness in the tank as it is a pressure vessel.
And a roll over could conceivably land on a lifting point and punch a hole in the tank.
@@morriewyatt6234 if they were designed into to unit initially that could all be overcome.
I did not need the OSHA handbook
@@morriewyatt6234 yeahhhh BUT.... what you see is the exterior "beat me up skin"..... the actual tank is a few layers in, yes potentially a lift point could be crushed into the inner liners.... BUT... could they not just weld under the skin some reinforcing?
Good to see the old man on the scene. Another awesome recovery. Missed the Josh play-by-play. Thanks for the upload.
Absolutely missed Josh's play by play 😊
It's both sensible and yet amusing that the Fire Dept, we're like "Here's a bleeper, we'll be waiting way over there in a concrete bunker we've knocked up." No point them being in the danger zone, and in the way, until you'd finished. I still find it crazy how many tankers you guys recover.
AWESOME video and job VERY well done!! SUPER cool seeing your dad and Dave working together on this one!! Made it look easy!!
One of your best recovery videos EVER. Rivals the concrete truck into the house video. Very impressive how cool headed everyone was on this job.
Great job love seeing your dad out there doing everything the boys are doing. Thats a sign of a great leader. And not a bad job filming by Alex
Another good tow, keep up the good work guys and be safe
Mr Josh Another awesome recovery as always by team Pepe's. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
What I like about you guys, is that no one person knows everything and you guys talk to each other and listen to each other. Reat Team Work
That could have been a big disaster! But the pros were on hand to take care of it! Good job guys!
It worried me when the fire guy gave you that sensor and told you if it beeps to stop everything and then he goes away.
Thanks Josh for a great video!! Always frustrating for you when the goPro dies. Watching from Denver
Great teamwork , big thumbs up!
I saw this from the LAFD viewpoint video last week..great job.
Thanks!
48:09 the whole team is absolutely amazing great job !!!
super DAVE is back, glad to see you.
very obvious your dad knows what he's doing. something I noticed was he was willing to listen to the other drivers. job well done all.
I helped out on this same operation back in the 80s. We had powered hydraulic rams and a 20 ton boom truck. Took us 12 hrs. Definitely not a job to be taken lightly!
Nice work.
Great job! This one really shows just what a team effort these things are, with everyone helping each other, and the consultations that go into solving each piece of the puzzle.
I really enjoy watching people who really know their business and excel in critical thinking.
You guys are awesome! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
wow what a job all you guys are awesome working together , always cool seeing your Dad on the job
Nice job on recording the recovery. Keep up the great work.
The 2 white caps on top of the tanker are pressure relief valves in the event that the pressure rises too high in temperature. The caps open until the pressure equalizes
Do they have burst disc on the valves ? or some where on the tank
"If you hear that thing beeping? Then stop." I love that.
Great job as always
Thanks bro!
Hey Josh !!! WOW !! What a team work out !!! 🤔🙄 👍👍👍👍👍 Hard to find Dave without his COFFEE !! HAHA 🤥😔😮
Great job well done guys
Did my Hazmat for driving trucks many years ago those of us who know will be impressed with how you pick this up safely, I also like the fire officer for putting the gas alarm on your truck that tanker is 1 big bomb would have been life changing. Stay safe all
Remember, all the trucks say; PEPE’S. Respect!
Is that Josh’s dad? I’m new to the channel.
I’ve been waiting a month to see this incident and you didn’t disappoint!
Good eye Dave...good job!
Absolutely amazing job!!!!
This POV is awesome! It makes you feel like you’re apart of the recovery!
Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
That's one hairy recovery! Could have been a disaster. Well done by skilled professionals!
Good morning Tom,
Got to admit the 1st thing that registered in my mind when you pealed that cap off the well area was another "garage floor from hell"!! Remember that disaster a few months ago??
Your artistic work on the cuts for the approach to the house was really nice. Good call. I say it all the time but your crew and you as well make a hard trade look easy. The true definition of a professional. Sad to see Elliott taking off. He seems like a good kid. If he would stay around he could be a group leader on a separate crew after you retire. Not cutting out Tom or Matt by any means, just adding a good worker. You still have many good years in you as well. Look forward to your new job. Could that much concrete overwhelm that house. It looked pretty small. I'm sure you'll come up with something.
Great Team work. Enjoyed the Video.
This is the right job for synthetic ropes and slings. Nice job. Gotta love, the GoPro they stopping whenever.
Good job guys!
that was 1 delicate well rigged flip of the tanker awesome job team pepe's
Good job on the roll Alex!
Great recovery guys, i hope you remembered that blue cable weight.
Great teamwork.
Not a lot of headroom on that one. Made the rigging process a lot more difficult but mission accomplished as always. 👍
Nice Work !
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Wow, what a marathon. 5 or 6 hours? Great job!
Enhoyed this very much, don't see how the editing could be better. I thought it didn't rain in Southern California.
That is part of the problem. If it rained more often it would wash the oil off the roadways regularly. With all the oil+water its like driving on marbles.
I do remember seeing about the propane tanker truck flipped over on the freeway when morning I was on the news before I leave home to go work that morning
I would like to come out there to California and watch you guys do this in person
This one I would stand back a few hundred yards 💥💥💥💥💥
@@mrwilson7617 I have worked a round tow trucks for a few years
Another great job ty
Nice video !!!!!!! Enjoyed
Amazing..awesome team work ..great video !!!!
Pepe serious warning! Propane is heavier than air the gas sensor should be as close to the ground as possible.. 6 feet off the ground is is a 6ft blanket of inflammable gas ... your fire service need educating! Propane is different to othe flammable gasses which are lighter than air...
Is it safer if it's full like it with a car gas tank.
Or is this just a dumb question, does a gas have fumes chemistry wasnt my best as you can tell. because ik ones a gas and ones a liquid lol it's 730am I apologize that was such a dumb question I had my coffee lmao and ik even an empty propane tank is still dangerous.
@@AnthonyW-bp6tfthere's no dumb question, just dumb answer...And now is 17:29 and I finished my cofee and got to do my night shift...So long my friend
@@deandekithat’s a dumb answer
nice job Alex took your time did it rite
Great team work as always! And I enjoyed the POV camera view! 😎
Thanks 👍 like it looks good 😊
I had it for the first time about 4 weeks ago, felt bad for 3 days, then mainly fatigue for another 10 days. It took me 12 days to drop testing positive.😊
Great recovery 👍
Wow that was team work
Amazing on its side in 10 seconds back up hours later great job
Id love to see a comp vid of i would say like top 5 jobs you would NOT want to do again. Even tho them jobs are the ones that give you the best feeling after getting it all done and making it home.
how much rain falls in your area ? or does it wait for your wrecks ? my experience 40 years railroad 6 years oilfeild
Can't imagine how much that cost??
That's a hell of a truck, two drags dear lord.
Oh my gosh I see papi chulo 🌹 JOE ❤️ and wow so so handsome and I see chulo Dave wow what a treat too amazing guys and gorgeous guys 😍
браво парни отличная слажееная каманда
I knew your dad was there before I saw him, as I heard his voice. Did the unit slide aways after it fell over? It looks like a slice mark on the side of the trailer.
Dave Missionary!
Revivals^^
I am Paula Missionary.
Nice recovery! I have never seen snatch blocks with the sides drilled out like that--I suppose to cut some weight?? Look like maybe 30-35 ton blocks--can't see the lables.
PEPE set up'rigging is outstanding safety first
2:06 the gas detector should have been placed near the intake of the engine as well. If a diesel engine ingests propane, it will run away.
Propane is such bloody scary stuff!
I've taken a moment to see you all. It was fun again. Until next time.
Under pressure the temperature is usually around 68°
Is this the same location that you had the loaded Cement Mixer a year or so ago?
I liked where that gopro was pointed. For once I could see what was going on ;)
i was always trying to figure out what that black thing was that kept popping into view, and why the view was so stable when i'm sure alex's head had to be moving funky ways
Josh, transition road from N/B Harbor fwy to E/B Santa Monica Fwy? Driven on the that road a lot years ago
Bom dia pepe,s e equipe.😊
Josh, my husband is a numbers guy. How many gallons is that tank?
More than 40 people died when a propane tanker hit a bridge in South Africa and exploded. The video of the immediate aftermath is, perhaps, one of the most horrifying, nightmare-inducing videos of all time.
I want to know is it Alex Pepe or Josh who has this RUclips channel. I'm new to your channel and I just wanted to address you correctly. By the way I find your website very interesting to watch
It's going to be a good video with and Alex how to do any filming
We've been on this bit of road before recovering trucks.
The tanker is loaded based on Temperature.
This is a testament to Federal regulations for tank design, and whoever manufactured this pressure vessel. I’d bet that this thing will pass x-ray inspection and they’ll just paint it and keep using it.
My cheeks would have been clenched the entire time. Massive pressurized container in an accident? I'll clean 100 clogged toilers before doing THAT! lol
How much did this job cost?
About tree fiddy
@@PepesTowingService $3500?
I always wondered what the price is on a recovery job especially one that requires multiple wreckers / rotators
In winter 9,200 gallons is around 92%
your dad is having the guys over read where is number two man on Vacation
I deal with 30000+ gallons of jet fuel at a time no worries. That shit there is a bomb on wheels.
Scary.....
Propane boils at -44°
I don't want to tell you how to do your job by all means but the hooks you hook up to should be facing outwards so you are pulling with the throat of the hook and not pulling with the point of the hook
Is Dad "Pepe""?
Some of those tanks have hooks on the top of them I see that one doesn't
I remember this, First load by himself and not even 10 mins and this shit happens. Luckily the tanker’s internal valves were closed and the tanker wasn’t maxed out.
dude i love that organizational cabinet!!!! sexy AF!!!
