I use to work at an industrial shop where the train track ran right at the back of the parking lot. When it snowed trucks would think it was the road and get stuck on the tracks. Thankfully the train would round the corner at a snail's pace so i use to watch the train pull trucks off the tracks all the time. Was cool to watch. Even better was the time the train conductor knocked on the back door and asked "is that your car"? I forgot to set my handbrake and the car rolled down to the tracks and halfway in the ditch. Again, train pulled me out lol
Truck driver: Im stuck, I need towing assistance please Salvage company: Hmm...we have only the Tugmaster 3000 from the riverdepot available. Is that okay for you? Truck driver: I'll take it...
This was right next to where I live (In Belguim) and I was on my way back from school with my moped just as the boat was sailing away. Now I know the full story!
+Bauppi Yeah, a ship that size would have no problems at all with pulling the truck in the water. 1800 horsepower will be enough to pull several of those trucks into the water :)
+Canal Never heard torque when it comes to pulling forces of a ship. Most of the time 'Bollard Pull' is used for ship pulling capacities. I think this ship would have about 20 Tonnes of Bollard Pull when pulling in a straight line. That is enough to lift that truck of the ground. In this movie the ship pulls sideways with the help of it's rudder, so it loses allot of power that way.
+ShippingHarbors That was awesome! did having it sideways give the captain more control or visibility? Just curious why they didn't let out a little line to get the tug straight.
Anything can break. If the pin of the truck gives way than you've got a bullet flying. Why would you even consider staying there if unsure.. 10 steps back doesn't cost anything but may save your life.
I was thinking the same thing because it looked like the rope was stretching a lot, it must not have stretched as much as it looked, it got slack in it real quick.
Like stated, they won't snap that rope. The only potential weak spot is that knot at the end. Knots can cut the strength of a rope by over 50%, depending on the knot, but even at that, I don't think they could break the rope on an empty truck of that size.
It's called being in the right spot at the right time, folks! If the barge captain hadn't have been there, the guy in the truck would have been stuck for a long, long time!
haha@the lad on the bike. As soon as the rope started stretching, he starts calculating how much shit he'll be in if it snaps and backs off accordingly. Smart lad.
Klasse! Das, denke ich, braucht auch ganz schön fahrerisches Können. Etwas zu viel Schub vom Schiff und der LKW liegt im Wasser. Zu spät das Seil gelöst undd as kann auch passieren, wenn der schwere Kahn noch Schwung hat.
Er hätte sich aber auch mit denn Schaufel Kran Freibuddeln oder mit denn Schaufel Kran Frei ziehen können. Schaufel Kran nach Vorne vor der Fahrerkabine auf dem Asphalt und dann Stück für Stück hochheben und nach Vorne Roppen. Bis er mit der Vorderachse auf dem Asphalt ist. Zumal der LKW Allradantrieb hat.
Jerome watched carefully as the working men in stuck truck from the mud, before meandering his way to the liquor store for a handy 32ouncer in a convenient brown bag to keep breakfast cold.
The driver on the truck should have known better than to engage his wheels as he was digging his own grave. the pull required would have been less had he left the truck free so that the wheels will not sink offering an initial vertical climb rather than rolling the wheels forward! At 0:02 his front wheels were all above the surface and then he engaged his gearbox thinking that he is helping when in fact that rotational circumference was in fact dredging the underside of the tyre and pushing it back till at 1:12 his front wheel lower half was embedded in the soil and he was lucky that the tension in that rope did not pull out the front of his truck. Congratulations to the Captain of that ship as he applied force with little velocity so that he would not gather momentum.... as other wise the consequences would be imaginable........... clever man indeed, Well done.
I guess it's true you learn something new everyday. I've lived on the water all my life and I have never seen this. I still can't believe that big truck was for wheel drive. It's really easy to get those type of trucks stuck. They have no tread to dig out of snow or mud. Their tires are made more for highways.
That rope seemed to stretch a lot before it broke the truck free. I was waiting for it to snap or for the rebound and the truck gets launched out of its hole and right across the canal!
The truck was well dug in, but pulling it free was no problem for this river barge; it has enough power and weight to pull the truck in half if it desired!
i thought front wheels on trucks weren't driven? also, spining the wheels on mud is just going to bury them even more. if you're being pulled out, there's no need to floor it.
You can't have the ship pull so hard as to get it out on its own, just enough so that the truck does the rest, otherwise the momentum would pull the truck too far
I'd originally thought the same as others about pushing with the Hiab but it would actually be pointless. The truck actually needed the sort of insane horsepower the tug could provide. The trucks actually bellied in, so no normal tow truck could've removed him
GazzilAussie what bs is that , the Pto is on the gearbox and is switched pneumaticly You can drive and use the crane unless there's a protocol in the the ecu that prevents such actions
Seems to me like using a ship or a boat to pull out a stuck truck is a fine line between "too small" in which case it won't have enough thrust to pull it out, and "too big" in which case after pulling it out, the boat won't be able to stop in time, and will pull the truck into the water. Obviously, this boat was right in the goldilocks zone. Big enough that its engine had enough power to get the truck out, but small enough to stop before dragging it into the sea.
You see a truck stuck and is rescued by a tow truck, no one bats an eye. You see a truck stuck and is rescued by a AWD SUV or Car, it's a bit embarrassing but a shock and awe moment from the SUV/Car driver. You see a truck stuck and is rescued by a ship that has 95% no affiliation with land activity, now that's truly ashameful moment. 😂😂 But yeah, you don't see that everyday.
Nathaniel Clark it was 4x4. They have a hydraulic system for the front hubs. Also on american trucks but its a $12,000 option noone uses unless its needed like for the electrical trucks used for in the country.
The guy in the truck really did get saved. He has no clue. If your stuck the worst thing you can do is spin your tires and dig yourself in. He did it for damn near 50 seconds straight.
@@bryz5232 no, a truck like this would never be FWD only. Power is currently going through the path of least resistance, in this case the RF wheel on the front axle. It will in all likelihood have a center differential lock and locks on each axle, which the driver is unaware of, or has not activated, that would've allowed him to get out under his own power.
The Truck Driver Was CLEARLY A ROOKIE.. When a Vehicle is being pulled out of a Stuck Position? Put the Vehicle IN NEUTRAL AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE WITH TRACTION TO PULL THE STUCK VEHICLE OUT OF THE STUCK POSITION.. By spinning the tires you only force The Stuck Vehicle DEEPER into the place/location it is stuck in... Basically DIGGING A DEEPER HOLE... MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE VEHICLE ON THE GROUND WITH TRACTION TO PULL THE STUCK VEHICLE OUT OF THE HOLE IT'S STUCK IN... People tend to do that for some reason.. Treads in a Tire? Are designed TO "GRIP"/"DIG"... That includes Mud or What Ever... So while SPINNING? Tires are basically "GRIPPING"/"DIGGING"... But when being pulled? The Tires are BASICALLY SLIDING OVER A SURFACE... Making it easier for a Vehicle with Full Traction to Basically "Slide" The Vehicle out of a location... However, Once The Stuck Vehicle's Tires are on a Surface where as they can gain traction? They will AGAIN Do what they're Designed to do... And that is "GRIP"/"DIG" INTO THE SURFACE... Allowing them to Roll Again... A Quick Lesson in Basic Automobile Physics for those who are Interested...
At about 1:00 they should have started the winch then at 1:22 truck should have full lock on right so the front wheels will pull it out on solid tarmac . don't drive straight on to the other bit of grass , the bicyclist is too patient. I would have jumped in the truck . then again I would not have got stuck to begin with . happy new year.

I wonder if he told them what an idiot he was for getting a 4wd truck stuck on a bit of grass.

Brett Swampy hfvbo
This is first time to see a truck towed by a ship. Awesome.
Just think about the tension on the tow rope!! Cyclist made a good decision to move far back (or was told to).
Yeah. But that tow rope is designed to work with much heavier things. Plus the boat wasn't anywhere near full power.
the truck would probably rip in half well before the rope comes anywhere close to breking ;-)
Probably it was a tug boat, used to tug mammoth ships. If full power is used, the truck would shred into pieces.
@@vv8104 you can lift a volvo fmx in air from the pin in the front

It was a barge, and the barge was too long to pull in a straight line because of the narrow channel ;)
ShippingHarbors Got ya! Yeah I knew there was a good reason just couldn't see it with the angle but great prop wash! lol Stay safe out there ;)
Dude on the bike was like that rope is stretching a bit too much...let me back up a bit
ken adams haha i think same bro.. he dont know this rope can deal with hundred ton. that truck only 10-15 ton
Chances are they'd break the truck before the rope.But It wouldnt be the first time they pulled a truck apart trying to pull one out of something.
ken adams

The dude on the bike was like the rope? Long, strong and stretchy?
awsome!
I bet the truck driver was afraid to get pulled right into the water once he broke free - haha
kuttmoped I sad thinking that also. The rope recoils and pulls him in.
I was thinking the same thing because it looked like the rope was stretching a lot, it must not have stretched as much as it looked, it got slack in it real quick.
I bet the boat captain was thinking about that, too.

Right but when you think about it that line has to hold that huge barge in place so it must be pretty strong.

I guess we can all say: NOW I'VE SEEN EVERYTHING .
excellent work. Amazing captain. Wonder if it is written somewhere in the work guidelines that you are not supposed to use your ship as a tow truck
Dutch
derrycklanger arent tugboats made to push and tow
in emergency you are allowed to assist a disabled vessel, not sure how it would work with a truck though.
Blasting the harbour wall with water is a mad inefficient way to pull a truck out of the mud but I'm here for this new venture into recovery ships

I was expecting one of those "hilarious fails at work" incidents and the truck to be pulled right into the canal.
1:56 at that moment he knew, if something happens, he is the first to die so he backs up xD

That was friggin AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Stolt Variante is a tankership and only using the bow thrust, but used with great care and precision, nice job well done.
+Willem Streutgers It's the main engine with the rudder full to port.
Bow truster is in the front of the ship, he is using his main engine with his rudder at full angle.

LOL. Why did they not winch it out instead of towing? No winches on the Forecastle?
That was freaking awesome!!!
what an interesting way to pull out a struck truck ( COOL ! )
Ship power!! Yeaaah!
First time i see this... good skills ..
The truck could have rescued itself if they rotated the crane arm 180 degree to get more weight on the front axle which had obviously more grip.
Guy on bike: oh this seems interesting. Sees rope start to stretch..hmm..maybe I shouldn't be here.
how much money in diesel did the barge burned to pull that truck?

So thats why theres so many canals in Netherlands
