You make a lot of really great points in this video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences.
Great info. Keep making good videos like this!
I have heard of these being called “safety straps” and “safety lanyards”. These are great for multiple things. Thanks for your videos!
Thank you for the tip about the sling and setting it up on a steel rim that has the little holes all around it
Great info. Just getting into towing very helpful thx. J-Free💯
Nice informative video. I also use them on foreign cars around the axle that don't have a spot for a mini j.
Nice dude keep the great content coming
very nice you know your numbers, so many ppl dont ... nice vid thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thank you.
I like these informative videos. New to the towing game, trying to start my own company. I know I have alot to learn but these videos do help.

What city?
Hey luis! Love the vids. Wanted to turn you and your viewers on to something I’ve been using for 5 years or more. It’s called “the fang”. We have a local company called “custom splice” that I get these from. The round sling is awesome and versatile. The Fang is a super quick soft hookup for damage free winching. No, I don’t get paid for posting this. 😉
Going to look it up, it sounds cool!!
I would highly suggest snaking it through one spoke on each side of the rim. This will help prevent it spinning if the vehicle doesn't have a working parking brake which should also be set if it's not a driving wheel. As for just cutting it off if it gets stuck in the caliper, why not just take the wheel off? I wish I had money like that! lol
lol ive had them tear once they got in the caliper.
A tow operator that knows what he is talking about when they refer to the wire rope as wire rope NOT cable and understands WLL in different configurations..nice job.
Thank you, that means a lot to me.
You're correct, He did excellent in this video... But just to clarify... the difference between "cable" & "wire rope" is the size. Technically, anything 3/8 inch (which is the most common size on light duty wreckers & car carriers) Those are called "cable" anything larger than 3/8 inch is called "wire rope" This is just if ya wanna be accurate... but like many words, they're often used interchangeably... kinda like Engine/Motor.. there is a difference, but even incorrectly used... it's understood.
I grab by the wheel pretty often, No need to get dirty, no hooking the wrong thing not being able to see and bending a tie rod or something, It's almost always available to hook to, It's almost always getting your rigging past any body panels, And almost always by the time you need to rerig you've already gotten out of the deep mud or snow and you can easily rerig to the frame or suspension.
Plus unlike other types of hookups hooking to the wheel allows a locked in rigging point where something has to break for it to come loose unlike a T or mini J in the frame or something like that, So if you are at a tipping risk or a runaway risk and you don't want to risk rigging slipping loose then hooking to the wheel gives you a nice secure hookup, it's got to break to runaway, if it starts to tip there is no way that's going to happen with you hooked to the wheel so long as your truck is anchored.
''Tow Universe''.....ok, i'm in....cool.
much safer. dont have to worry as much about stuff flying and hitting you such as a snatch block
Nice content but I really prefer the motorclub stuff AND of course the tow wars!!! #Towmageddon
why do you prefer motor clubs?
Yo Luis. I’m definitely your biggest fan. I watched almost every video and try to mimic your strategy as a business owner. I have a question though? I just started my towing business and I just watched 2 of your videos where you stated you charged a motor club. The one video was for a Benz, you asked 375 but they only gave you 350. How can you charge if you are contracted. I’m just trying to figure out so I can start making money to pay bills. I don’t wanna fail.
You can ask them to get a supervisor approval with there extension on the PO. The problem with that is, once it gets to billing they can denie it. I would just straight up ask them for a credit card, when they ask why. Tell them youve been having a hard time getting paid.
After a advertisement came on I can see now
Working load limits are key to safety. The first question the heavy operators ask is how much does it weigh, then they can figure out resistance and load limits to safely rig. Geometry and physics is also important, especially in heavy recovery. Endless loops are so versatile. I would be curious to see how well I could do in recovery because I am mechanically inclined. Common sense goes a long way.
The suction effect of mud is something that is forgotten sometimes.
@@LawrenceAccountability yep, that’s when people start snapping winch lines, chains, tow hooks, and lifting the front tires off the ground or pulled into the ditch.
You're 100%. I train my drivers to over rig for the situation. Better to over rig than under rig. Always know you WLL. Im sure you will be a beast at recovery !!!!!!!!!!!!
@@towuniverse2443 I would use the remotes a lot to stay out of the danger zone as much as possible. I remember Colon on Heavy Rescue 401 nearly got killed because the boom was not centered over the load with a trailer upside down and it became a swing and thankfully hit the outrigger and saving his life. I am sure there’s nothing like a winch line breaking under heavy load, the only thing worse is drivers that don’t slow down and move over.
@@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550 been using synthetic for several years. No recoil, no birds nest, no hand injuries from the steel cables. It floats, is visible and lays on top of heavy snow, and I can walk out an entire spool in one pull.
What style of bridle hook are you using to connect to these slings?
Hey luis.you mention something about master recovery class you took. Could i have more info on this perhaps a link i like to educate myself more .
WreckMasters
If youre pulling on the front wheels or wheel, could you break a steering component?
No,Unless it has been seriously compromised . Such a control arm sheered off the subframe
@@towuniverse2443 would you lock the steering wheel and keep the wheel straight or doesn't matter?
What length is the sling you used to basket that wheel, thanks
Verys on tire size. Up to 16 inch 6ft anything over 10ft sling
Thanks, be safe
Hey bro how do i get a 1 hour consultation with you?
