I Guessed Wrong And It Almost Cost Me $1,000,000...

- THIS IS THE HEAVIEST LOAD WE EVER PICKED as we were at 150% capacity of max lifting capacity in our 75 ton Rotator... Wrecker Rick & War Machine hit the road to Bullhead City, AZ to help out a friend who needs to relocate a large shear and brake press! The weights of the equipment (and size) is really unknown until we get there. Our Mission: Load up both pieces of equipment on the lowboys and follow to Lake Havasu City, AZ to unload. Watch along as we figure out how to rig this equipment, pick the equipment, and almost lose the equipment along with our $1,000,000 Rotator in the process!
Enjoy!

Wrecker Rick just made YT history using a 75 T to deadlift 96 thousand pounds on a real paying job Great job Mr Rick
I'm sure they curb the actual weight caps of those rotators to keep people from killing themselves...however cable's snapping might be something to ponder ...but impressive risk taking
@@hamm29 He's definitely over the working load limit of the cables by just a bit, 7/8 has a working load limit of 15,200, All 6 together brings it to 91,200 and he was just a bit over that, but the breaking strength of 7/8 is a 5:1 safety factor so it shouldn't break so long as its in good condition until 79,600 per line, bringing the total to 477,600 pounds. He is over the working load limit but there is more than enough safety factor in place for him to not have to worry about a cable snapping.
@towtruckaj I think the safety factor for lifting slings in Europe is 7 to 1, may be different in USA and different for cables should still be inside saftey
@@quinn860 5 to 1 for wire rope, lifting slings here are usually 5:1 as well.
@@quinn860 fiber slings are 7 to 1 in europe yes but chains and steel rope are 5 : 1
84 year old oil rig mover and tow truck owner here.Some of us from small towns could do the work you do.What I could never do is charge enough and get paid to have a truck like yours.You have my respect and you know your stuff.
Thank you sir!
Just one more reason to get that 100 ton truck. After Mrs. Wrecker Rick sees this, she should be all on board. Thanks for sharing!
How many times a year will he use a 100 ? He would lose money on it, bigtime.
Other tow channels call for help if a job is too big .
How many jobs is he turning down cause he doesn’t have the hundred ton is the question
@@Arlo-RUclips1983 No, the question is would he make money with the 100.
I'm sure he wants a giant toy, but it has to make business sense.
If the 75 costs $1M, what would the 100 cost ?
3 million
He already ordered 1
I used to work at a place in Philly called Edward G
BUDD automotive stamping. And these look like the units the office workers would use to run tests on incoming material.
They used Train Flatbeds to move real equipment outside to work on it.
One stamp, a 500,000 ton snapped a railcar in half, before someone realized it had been built in place, in Giant pieces, in 1907!
The place closes in 2006 because there were no skilled workers who wanted to risk their life in a Zulu neighborhood, for a paycheck.
My Uncle George's last day there. He made more that day, then he made for the first year, and a half he worked there.
He stamped the 4 doors of 410,000 Ford Tauruses over it's production life.
He started when he got out of the Army in 1945.
Imagine getting paid 3¢ a stamping, and it's an entire Jeep floor pan?
Never missed a day of work. Loved his life. Drank 2 beers every day with his lunch.
Said water was unhealthy to drink.
Stay Western.
Awesome! Thanks for the story! Back when men were men!
I used to haul die sets out of there to Ohio to be "rebuilt". Did most of the dies end up being sold overseas for aftermarket production ?
@@heyinway
Last I heard the Bush administration sued the German owners of Budd, and forced them to sell them to the Chinese trying to knock down the $4 trillion loan Bush spent on the Iraq war.
I know a bunch went to Mexico that made the F 150s, and the Taurus & Sable after Bush, and friend crashed the stock exchange. Obama sued Ford because they used GHW Bush grants to buy the stamps back in the 80s.
Ford had to open a plant in Detroit to use the presses the government said they had shipped south of the border.
It was even in Ford's commercials in 2012.
"America is opening back up!"
Yeah thanks to an Obama lawsuit, to get Americans working again.
My Brother says Big Bart, the 1,500,000 ton press got pieced out for scrap, and the top flange with Budd's cast into it, is in Germany as a 20 ton retirement present to the former president of the company.
He told my brother, when a Republican government says you're paying your workers to much money, and you should move everything to China, it's time to close the doors, and go home.
Never thought I would see War Machine pushed to the limits. Awesome job Wrecker Rick
This is Heavy hauling great job Richard
"I drive that through a school zone and get new employees" what a line😂😂😂
Awesome! That’s why Murphy’s diesel is the best in the business!!!
This video is definitely gonna blow up. Big boy stuff💪💪
If you can’t lift it, drift it 😂
😂 you should put that on a t-shirt!
Only company I trust with my equipment and truck's
Thank you sir!
Bad freakin ass.
Totally western.
So good to see War Machine again.
About time.
Will he ever have a 100 ton brother?
I love hell boy but war machine is my favorite. That’s my dream piece of equipment
Well get over here and try your hand at it, it’s fun to run!
WRECKER RICK did it again!! Your knowledge on rigging is amazing! Bet your heart stopped when u saw war machine going side ways!! Lots of weight . BE SAFE
That was slick. I can’t believe you came to bullhead and I missed it. Damn. That was some cowboy,roughneck shit. God Bless😊
Too spooky for me!!! I guessed 20 shitloads on the weight, I was low, it was over 30 SL. 😂 Another successful job for the Big Fella and War Machine too!! Thanks for the video. M.W.D.
😂 thank you sir!
That shear was one of the good old Cincinnati shears of the late 1950-60's ear, where metal was king. You could have lost 12,000 pounds of weight by removing the flywheel.
The aerospace company I worked for had a 50 foot diameter vertical lathe that weighed in at 1,200,000 pounds. To remove the table, there were 8-10 pie shaped wedges each weighing close to 70,000 pounds. All of our large machines had a mobile gantry where all of the controls were located along with the operators station. When they got out of the heavy metal business, the salvage crews came in with air arc torches and chopped it up. A sad day for the company employees.
The good thing about new hydraulic wreckers is once they reach maximum load, just stop working. The old mechanical wreckers run until something breaks something, like a gear box, PTO shaft or drive chain.
You're a braver man than me Wrecker Rick.
Awesome story! Thank you for sharing!
That was one heavy ass Bad Larry! Bravo Zulu to you and you bad ass machine.
Nicely done Rick. You earned much respect from this old guy. 👍
Thank you sir!
Knowing someone from your channel is reading the comments .. is how I know you have what it takes to grow and be the biggest on utube ..
Thank you! I read them my self! If yall have time to watch me I got time to answer comments!
Good to see War Machine showing who's king of the fleet!!
Another great video folks and once again I really like listening to you explain what you’re doing and how everything works. Very interesting! Oh and that’s one badass wrecker
Awesome, thank you!
Rick, the large presses all weigh between approx. 40 and 70 tons. The smaller ones 25 - 40 tons. A good 40 years ago, we cleared out a production hall where there were large presses, bending machines, straightening plates and dozens of other smaller machines and tools. Punching machines stood there. We had a 500-ton truck-mounted crane because we had to lay out further. Moving into the new hall was not so easy either. Nice video Rick, fortunately nothing happened. Greetings from Frankfurt Gerold
Rear Steer Rick is now Double Front Steer Rick today!
Very interesting video another great video from Murphy's diesel wrecker Rick keep them coming 2024😊
Truck paying for itself!second off load kid stuff after 1st!Have to look close you didn't hurt that beautiful rig!😂
That was a close call Rick, good catch.
Well Damm. I never thought I had adhd but not that I know the definition I guess I have it to. Thanks for sharing.
Fine job Rick ,wow that was amazing or excuse me That Was Western lol. Thanks for taking us along Rick.
miller is watching and voiding his warranty as we speak....
Why would they void his warranty for lifting with in the capacity of the machine
75 tons equals 150,000 pounds. 1 ton equals 2000 pounds. We learn these things in American Schools, heck, I learned this in Math class in Junior High, today it is called Middle School.
@@scuss2 I suppose these 150,000 lbs are only good at minimal boom length?
@@zyamadeadborn1785 on the door panel near the beginning of the video is a chart, riveted to the inside of the door face. Rick was referring to that chart and the Cameraman showed this.
Yes, I would agree that shortest boom or according to the chart would be maximum load. Also this maximum load can only be achieved off the back of truck. Before using any position the truck must be level, Rick admitted this was his 1st time using the leveling gage. I'm very glad he read the chart.
@@scuss2 yeah, I saw that chart. I'm a little familiar with crane machinery theory. Never actually used it though.
Nice Job! Well thought out plan. Good equipment and rigging lets you follow through with it. I enjoyed the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wrecker Rick one smart cookie folks - it’s all about the Rigging magic should have a heavy Wrecker Training Center !
Thank you sir! Maybe that will be my retirement plan, after a few more years! lots of older gents out there with a lot more time in the saddle than I! Enjoyed visiting with yah sir!
Lol, draging that 2nd machine was sounding like the death star before explosion lol
😂 true story
Did you stop in and say hi to Merlin old school garage in Havasu? The 2 winners of matts games lol..
Hey Rick !!!! Never too ""OLD" to learn ""NEW"" !!!! If that wasn't a learning event, DON"T know what else to say !!! 🤔🙄 GOOD the ""WAR WAGON "" held together !! 👍👍👍👍👍
Be sides looking awesome war machine is one hell of a piece of equipment love the videos wrecker rick
👍👍👍. As always nicely done sir. For sure some cowboy shit right there. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Wrecker Rick flexing his muscles with the 75 ton wrecker, impressive lift there sir!
Heavy shit!! That was rad.
Wrecker Rick great job
TOWING HALL OF FAME SIR
TOW GOAT 🚜
I have to tell you that I think it’s more entertaining to watch you guys doing what you’re doing than to watch the highway through hell videos. It seems that you guys are more down to earth and even though you and them are very professional I like your content better. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
I saw a transformer being moved on a truck. It weighed 412,000 lbs. 12 axles required to hold it. It could only move 25 mph. They brought it from Schenectady NY, to Ellensburg, NY for the windmills they put up around Ellensburg.
I was just passing through Arizona a couple weeks ago, stopped at a gas station and as I was looking around I realized it was your yard. If I had time I would have stopped in. Great videos
Nice, stop by next time you have the time!
80,000lbs....Bloody hell that was some lift.....I bet you was happy when that load was finished.....Stay safe
That is a BEAUTIFUL wrecker!
Outstanding wrecker! Great job Rick.
Yeah that gravity's a bitch. Like I told the cop one time when he told me to get up out of that flower bed. I told him I would there's just one thing holding me back,,, gravity. Lmao 🤣😂
Don't drink and fall in flower beds folks.
😂 the good ol days
Yeah that was many many moons ago
Some good ol' boys there to work with-gettintg stuff done/.being safe and having a good time. Name of the game. That war machine is a hoss!
I am Super Impressed with your Knowledge and Skill 😮
I appreciate that!
That wrecker is awesome!
Your truck is some bad chit. Nice pull.
Look out. Love the Haji reference😂🤣😂🤣 Hanging from a Cascadia.
You are a mistro with that wrecker. Knowing just the limits and off the road far enough so no one gets hurt . Good beard bro.
I do really appreciate suspenders on a lift like this. There would be a**crack long as train smoke and I thank Mrs.Towgod for that particular add-on.
😂 getting professional over here at Murphys! No more a** cracks as long as train smoke!
@@MURPHYSDIESELHey I get it. Loved from about 21:30 on explaining that potentiometer and the brake. Did my first tow in 78’ but never ran a rotater. I learned a lot from this one thanks.
Dam that was a little western!!
Heavy stuff, great job made it look. Easy!!
👍🏻👉🏻😎
Thanks 👍
Damn 965,000 that one heavy beach. Time to order that bigger wrecker. lol. See ya at miller. Those things are going to be a top heavy load for sure.
Amazing W900. Love it .
It sure is!
Thanks Murphy’s Diesel, you guys rock. You stay classy 🌬️👉😜
I remember running pilot truck for wide loads Rowdy Wheeler was hauling back in the day. We all ran ahead of Rowdy because he was only worried about the clearances around the vehicles he was about to pass on the interstate. Never saw a vehicle pass Rowdy, no matter the weight or size of the load. Those were good times.
I bet! That sounds like good times! Back when men were Rowdy Wheeler
Thumbs up on the song reference.
I like the fact you're willing to do sketchy shit like we are.
Stopped by last week on my way through to havasu but hellboy wasnt there. Was gonna show my boys. Next time.
Ahh that sucks, it was probably when I was dailying it! 😂
One of the Trail Mater dudes wearing a Murphy’s Diesel sweatshirt in their latest video….game recognizes game.
Yeah that’s Shawn, he’s a cool dude! Him and Mike also have a channel called Dirt Billy Delux!
@@MURPHYSDIESELMet them both and agree, good dudes. Mike showed my family around the shop on Christmas Eve and talked vehicles with my 7-year old son like they were best friends. Solid guys, just like your crew who I recently met as well.
When you show those controls moving by themselves reminds me of Maxine overdrive
War Machine earned her keep for sure , Great Job
Perfect just like you Wrecker Rick!!!
Meanwhile, although impressed with their product, the warranty department at Century just sent the files for that truck through the paper shredder😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Crazy impressive lift though man.
😂 thank you!
Cracking video. Really enjoy lifting machinery, part of my job. Take it easy. 👍😁💪
wrecker Rick you need the m100 wrecker now. But dam that 70ton war machine is a best. Love to meet you sometime love watching your shows and love all your heavy work specially hell boy
Damn 965,000 that one heavy beach. Time to order that bigger wrecker. lol. See ya at miller.
Another beautiful job your truck Is a beast
Rick you're learning something new every day. I was going to suggest a couple of Load Cells until I saw the weight being shown by the Cameraman. Fun to watch.
Thanks for explaining what ADHD is. I've noticed there are quite a few wrecker/recovery people on You Tube that have the same condition, I'm sure you know who they are.
Does Miller provide an instructional video? Or an in color Owner's manual? Or do they cost extra too, lol?
Wow very interesting I was watching closely all that extra weight and not a scratch..impressive.
Good job and video Rick. Now we see why you do the heavy difficult jobs instead of your guys.
Heavy. Good job Rick 👍🏻💪🏻🇺🇸
Thank you sir!
Dang Wrecker Rick ! That sure got Western ! ! !
Moved a turret punch a couple of times and dam that thing was heavy .
Yeah hwy 40 between needles and Kingman..freaking jumps n the road 😂
That tested the truck 😊 got a little western 😊
Gotta love War Machine
You need that 100 ton rotator. For this work alone. Your 75ton and 50 ton to do it safer. Well done as always.
Welcome to the world of heavy haul Wrecker Rick! Stop in at Merlins old school garage he can fix that truck up for you!
Damn if they are using that stuff its some heavy duty work...and your Rotator got put to the test today but great work
Time to buy a crane Rick. I will come drive it for you. Real handy for recoveries.👍 I would have called in a second wrecker to do a two crane lift. Everyone is safe and you make twice the money.
I want a crane! Sounds good! I thought about it, then I thought I’ll just go to 65k, then I thought just a little bit more, next thing yah know we’re sitting at 150% with 96k on the boom…
@@MURPHYSDIESEL yeah I have been there before, but these days you just can’t do that sort of stuff anymore. It’s up to the operator to call it and say no more, I need to get another machine in here to help out. At the end of the day the customer isn’t paying you more for risking your machine and you as the owner of the company need to promote a culture for your drivers to live up to of safety is first and not to risk damage to their equipment. I reckon a crane would be a good addition to your fleet. 👍
Best of the best right there 👌
Giving Alex and Big Flipper a Run for His Money.
I thought I saw you guys pass through town ! It’s crazy to think your sons my sisters boyfriend haha 🤣 love your channel man congrats on it all 👍 & de Nero and I had some good talks about maybe going bear or lion hunting 🙏 tell then keep grinding 💯💯
Williams? Thank you ! Ol de Nero is my nephew, but I love him like a son! Better hold him to those lion and bear hunts! Will do!
War Machine is one bad Mother effer. First time I saw it in person was on 40 when you all were cleaning up a wreck last year I think after that freak snow storm hit and dumped a bunch of snow on us unexpectedly, and of course all the Eastern European drivers did what they do best and just started crashing into each others trucks because they didn’t know how to chain up like the rest of us.
I immediately knew who you were when your channel showed up in my algorithm the first time because of War Machine. Lol.
That’s how most turn a rotator over. Lifting and not leveling. If you have a MMO it has a digital level gauge. The turret has a sterling valve that bypasses not a brake.
Let ME just back in there with the old reliable Holmes 750 Split Boom, WE'll pick'er UP, and everything will be fine, just fine...WHOOPS! Sorry bout that. 🤣
Show Off 😎👍🏾
Point if you didn’t know what you where doing you wouldn’t have been in business this long 🤔
Hat 🧢 off to you my man anther fine Job 😎👍🏾
It weighs ALL OF IT!
Always great to Videos ❤❤❤
Very impressive work from you once again, Mr Wrecker Rick....did you see the relief on my face when the uplift of the brake landed on that trailer?? You probably should have taken a change of underwear, bet you needed after the shenannigans at the delivery location.
Now that's what I call entertainment
Rick, I just watched a video from Pepe's Towing Service on You Tube. Laughed at the stupidity some truck drivers do. This guy got a loaded trailer full of mulch stuck in a Beverly Hills Golf Course. Alex was telling the co-driver that Pepe's owns 7 rotators at a cost of $100,100,000.00 each that's $700,700,000.00. Dayum that's almost a Trillion dollars. Alex also said they go through ongoing rotator training. He said they have a lot of contracts with CHP and CHP calls them 1st when there is a roll over on any of LA's freeways. Why? Because they are quick to get the lanes back open. They will use a 75 ton and a 50 ton rotator to lift the heavies. I know you didn't have the room to lift from both ends in this video. Alex on every video explains in detail the rigging equipment and the weight ratings. He said they always over rig as he understands the possibility of cable breakage. He also told the co-driver to watch Pepe's then go watch other You Tubers and he would see the difference. Pepe's subscribers have repeatedly told them in the comments they should start a Rotator University.
About to get western around there stick that chest out Wrecker Rick 😅
😂
Those trailer tires were sweating!
Swing Brake!
Wow, that was amazing. How much does your wrecker weighs?
Thank you sir! 78,000, I haven’t ran it across a scale but that’s what it supposed to weigh according to the manufacturer
Yeah, that's cowboy shit right there. Respect
Howdy, 72k
