- Rotator recovery OVER a wall on the freeway. Watch as I use Hulk, my 50ton rotator, to fix a messy load shift on the freeway. The customer was hauling a 10ton crane counterweight that flew off the trailer, hit the back of his cab, and landed in-between the trailer and the wall. My first instinct was to park parallel to him and do the recovery from his driver side. Then I had the thought to take it up a notch and do the entire job from the freeway onramp on the opposite side.
By positioning my truck here, I was able to work the entire job without having to close down any additional lanes. Using the 5 degree tilt feature on this Miller rotator, I was able to level out my truck for a stable platform despite being on a steep embankment. The job was very fun with my usual out of the box thinking, and in no time we got the load corrected. The driver was only going to the next exit and made it safely.

That slick over the wall was amazing. You made a lot of people happy. DOT, Law enforcers and all of the commuters who didn’t have to deal with two closed lanes.
Thanks!
Call it a Loop De Loop👍
On this OVER THE WALL job, Dave was the man!
Who ever thought of and invented the rotator is a complete genius. Awesome and amazing to watch what you can do with it.
Josh and Dave and your JEFE make a awesome CREW . Well Done 👍
Surprised it did not blow right thru the wall when it came off the trailer ! Very Lucky !!!!
Thank you for making this video and letting it see me.
It was a pleasure to watch.
That was a fun-fun job to watch. Great equipment used by excellent operators. Ya, I like the name "Hulk sling"...^5!
Hulk can doing no problem
Thank you for not F'n up the freeway ❤
Don't think to many guys think like you 😊
I can't wait until I get me a rotator I'm going to name it the Great Khali💪💪 take care and be safe
Hulk is absolutely a beautiful rotator. I love it.❤❤❤
20,000 lb counter weight with just 2 small chains?? That explains why it fell off the truck. Thank God it fell off there and not into traffic!! Good job with the simple/not simple save!! The beauty of the remote controls, you can operate the truck without being able to see the truck itself.
Correct, two small horizontal supports but no vertical! As to operating the truck without seeing it, that's the beauty of knowing the ins and outs 100% of your truck. I know damn well Hulk could lift that much off the side at that distance, and with my platform set up I knew I wouldn't have to monitor it. Still, I would be able to "feel" it or see the boom in case it was having issues.
Looks like it slid into the truck then off the side! Driver hm self is lucky too.
Literally seen somebody in Columbus Ohio get killed by a steel coil that went right through the cab
In the Netherlands we put rubber under the counterweights. It's more friction than the wood. And we chain it the rear and sides. The driver was lucky. Nice job.
I love your play by play commentary, kinda like you're the quarterback and sports announcer all in one!
Lucky that brick wall didn't fall over from the vibrations from HULK. The only thing that appeared to be holding it up was cobwebs.
Can't believe that those counterweights were so lightly chained straight to the floor of the trailer!!
That was an accident ready to happen. That guys chains were like shoelaces.
Hulk do be shiny.
Can’t wait to see the “Hulk sling”in action on upcoming videos
Josh great job , and that beast of a machine Hulk . Can wait to see Dave and his wrecker back in action. Great job.
I suggest calling it Hulk's bracelet.
Great job Josh.
Great recovery.
What I am surprised about is that the weight did not hit and go through the wall and it was sitting on an edge.
Truck driver sure was lucky.
You got me in this video, full center at 20:48 !! 😂 I drove by this recovery and from a distance saw the boom on the other side. Immediately thought 'This is crazy, feels like a Pepe's Tow" and then saw a guy in orange standing on the trailer, thought "this body, shape, height, gotta be Dave, no doubt". Where am I? in the silver Dodge Van (classy car for a guy, right) in full frame as you pan the camera, perfectly following me down the freeway. 👍
LOL I would have never in a million years figured you for being a soccer mom van guy 😂 Based on your comments I figured something more modern or refined, even old school.
So many images captured in my mind from days gone by. Be aware; that daily noise will harm you for sure. Great Job! Hope to get calendar ordered soon.
good driver !!! loading a load without wood on a trailer bed great video top team
You never surprised me you always get the job done no matter how tricky it is
Nicely thought out to keep the freeway open and the motorist rolling One thing I wasn't a fan of was Dave spending way to much time In what I call the kill zone Everything Dave did could of been done while being on top the trailer Be Safe !
Josh, you and your team are awesome to watch. You got more guts than me to put your life on the line with that traffic and insensitive drivers to your safety. Great video as always.
We are "used to it", although we definitely can be more cautious. But if you think about it, you can literally die just sitting in your home from a multitude of stuff. This job is dangerous no matter how many precautions you think you can take.
@@PepesTowingService I sure understand that. Just be on the side of caution knowing some drivers are idiots, and then there are the looky lous.
That is one badass piece of machinery.
Wanted to let you know your videos are being enjoyed over here in Ireland. Beautiful equipment and appears well maintained.
Your trucks have inspired me to build a model rotator in 1/24th scale. Used to live in Oxnard/ Pt.Hueneme. Dad was stationed there for a lot of years. Thanks again for the videos, beautiful trucks and the inspiration for a model. Kind regards, Carolyn Ann Willis Manorhamilton, Co.Leitrim, Ireland
Josh, Love watching your channel. I always get to see new equipment and technics. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Thanks! I love showing off the new equipment and demonstrating how awesome synthetic stuff is for the new school.
Outside the box, fun, less stress, and much, much safer than working from the freeway.
Hulks jockstrap
well done stay safe
The rotator sure changed towing,,
could you slide the sleeves on the under lift out then you can drill a hole for the pin which now secures the sleeve nearer to the outside.. just a thought,,, wish I had access to your equipment back in the day...
I enjoy the work you put into recovery but also the education you share on here
Great job 👍👍👍👍👍😺🤗
You and the hulk did a good job great information also always work safe
Hulk sling sounds good 👍
What's amazing is your working beside a live lane. In the UK the police would have closed at least two lanes of the motorway. Here in Ireland the motorway would have been closed completely..stay safe
Gotta keep the motorists/cargo trucks moving (USA anyway)
very nice finesse on the controls great job
Call your new sling, the “HULK HANGOVER “. Makes sense to me, because it does just hang over as a catch line. Your welcome 😎
Damn good job. You make that Rotator sing......
Great job!
Hey,
Mr. Camera Shy, got a glimpse rigging the counterweight on the trailer.
Another New toy for Joshua!!
Glad you didn’t ding the wall with that 10 ton weight!
Wonder how trucker got into that predicament with the load?
Good job fishing over the wall! Neat looking set up on that strap!
How in the heck did that weight flop off of his flatbed as heavy as it is, geez man! Josh's enthusiasm never gets old .. Oh I get it, it looks like that thing slid forward into the back of the cab then down to the ground .. Still that driver must have really stepped on the brakes hard to get something that heavy to slide, plus I don't think he had it anchored down properly ..
Great planning, great work. Great training video. You’re humble, but be proud of your work.
b-b-b-b-bad to the b-b-b-b-bone!
That was a sweet success job I did and love seeing hulk doing the jobs its a beast
Love it Josh. The new song is seriously Kool tools
You are a tricky Rabbit Josh. Nice job.
That was different. Great job
Rockstar tow man shows up in a Escalade..haha
i was curious on that too, forgot dave's rig being down, guess dave's using josh's for the time being... rather than going to the shop and riding with dave, just drove to job
Josh that was a really great job. By the way Hulk is a beautiful truck and you take very good care of it.
Good job!!
Nice job Alfa. Bed Hair.🤣🤣 I do feel for Dave.
The new strap....."The Hulk Sling ".
another job well done .
Nice over the wall job. If you want to call that sling something, I would get the name Pepe in there to tie in the branding.
I would call your new black sling the "Chain Link Sling", It looks like a big chain link to me.
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Awesome!!!! Really dangerous situation too. Stay safe!!
That was an amazing job josh you did fabulous like always your the BEST BIG GUY
As usual a great job and fun to watch you do your magic.
Great job! Thanks for sharing it on the youtubes!
Ya pucker factor ten thousand. At least you know exactly what it weights lol.
You always make it look so easy! Quite elegant, this. Well done!
Impressive leveling!
How friggin cool Josh!!! With the exception of the ass-hole drivers, this was a perfect job- Keep those videos coming man, & you & ALL your crew please be safe- Thx!!
I just can never get it in my head that those straps can lift that much weight.
Straps are commonly used in the construction field by cranes a magnitude bigger than Hulk. A big 5/8" Grade 10 chain has a working load limit of just under 25,000lbs, and weighs a ton. Technology is amazing, isn't it?
I do flatbed, I secure equipment all the time. You can't always use straps, but many loads you can. The straps I have actually have a higher working load limit than the chains I have. The reason we use chains with some loads, the steel chain doesn't stretch, & metal against metal creates a "friction" which stops forward & rear movement. Obviously some loads like skidsteer loaders & similar must use chains. Straps are much lighter & alot faster to use though.
Scientifically nylon is stronger than steel, which is why the straps have a higher working load limit!
Call it the Olympic Hulk Sling
awesome video as always guys keep them coming
Most impressive.
Nice 👍😊
awesome video has always ,good job working in all that traffic 😘🥰
Josh another great video! Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Enjoyed!
Your sling is a rigging chain. They have been around for tree work for a while just lower capacities. You could call yours a Hulk chain
UN GRAN TRABAJO 😊👌
Nice work. Whittier Blvd. Not far from where I grew up.
Nice job guys... That was a pretty slick idea you had Josh... doing the job from the other side of the wall... I'm sure the new "Multi Ring Sling" will come in handy some day... That was a good idea too... Can you get a patent on that Idea...?
you should call it a Pepe's Special Sling since it is custom made for Pepe's Towing Service
Josh you have such a nice truck and all nice tolls and these little baby cones. What gives? Those cones aren't any good except for a slow speed bicycle.
Looking at the back of the tractor unit, that driver is lucky... that could have been REALLY nasty.
Not sure if it was mentioned but that 10t is actually metric tons. So just over 22,000lbs
The guy is lucky that the counter weight didn't slide forward and knock the cab off. And is Michael Myers coming back to work for Pepe's this year?
They Say That All the Time in Australia
Nice
Great job today Josh. How is your red flames truck coming alone since it got side swiped last Monday. I'm sure Dave misses his truck. Did you guys get the guy that hit Dave's truck. I hope you did from the numbers on the truck. It's fu**** up that he didn't stop. Josh you had me bust out laughing today when you said yea right no body says that. @18.22 Have a great week later. Love from your #1 fan Debra in Wilmington🥰🥰
Nice job. Hope you were able to get a coffee after.
I bet Josh is happy to have a swamper. HAHA. seriously though awesome vid. Don't get to do these kind of blind moves every day. definately keeps you on your....TOWS.... hahahaha get it see what I did there?
that was cool lol let Dave drive Hulk
You should call the multi ring strap a “ dainty chain”
How’s the other rig after the side swipe? Hopefully they caught the guy who did it
Yet another Great job by Hulk… True Team Work 🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠
U talking about the previous video? Or did Pepe get another truck damaged in this case?
@@SievertSchreiber I believe it was the last video where Josh posted that Dave got side swiped by a container truck for no reason while driving down the highway
Josh said they caught the guy down the road. He said he would post video of the rebuild process.
@@lawrencemartin7162 Very Kewl, thanks for the update
Did Humpty Dumpty fell off the walls?
You should name it the super sling
SaLudos cordiales desde Puerto Rico lo admiro mucho
Josh Chain
Hulk Chain
Pepe Chain
Possible names for your new strap.
The ONLY thing that might have made this epic job BETTER would have been DRONE shots!!!
