    I just love watching you work. Your whole company is so professional, the way you deal with the people around you, other people you're working with and the customers. You made quick work of something that could have been a nightmare!😃😃😃I had to chuckle: downward pull. Sounds like you guys are practicing tow yoga!

  • @jonathantaylor6926
    @jonathantaylor6926 2 месяца назад +1

    For those wondering this was almost certainly a load/unload fail. A heavy enough machine (that 97 is) on the end of a trailer/ramps can easily push down hard enough to leverage the rear wheels of the truck off the ground- and thats a real problem on a hill. This exact accident happens more often than you'd think!

      The enclosed trailer was sitting next to the road parallel with the roadway. They were facing the enclosed trailer and trying to unload the skidsteer, when the skidsteer got to the back of the trailer it lifted the rear of the truck and folded up the ramps not allowing the operator to get off the trailer... then... away she went into the enclosed trailer and down the hill over the retaining wall. the skid steer got forced to the front of the trailer and the bucket smacked the top of the truck. Everybody was okay, the guy that was backing the skidsteer off the trailer was actually the same guy that backed it up when I pulled it off.... I dont think id have a big enough set to jump back in that thing less than an hour later!!! LOL

      He said the ramps folded up on him when it lifted the truck so he couldnt get off the trailer so he attempted to go back up the trailer but it was already too late and he was along for the ride.

      Pretty sure this was a load or unload fail while on a hill.. that 97 is a heavy track loader.. i am willing to bet once it got to the ass end of that trailer it lifted the wheels of the truck off the ground and off she wen't. Happens more often than you'd think.

Great video and nicely done i like how you show the whole picture with you moving around showing different angles of a recovery showing the Rotator working its just makes it a better watching video not a sleeper video .. and yes long videos when you can Take care and enjoy your day

    • @tiredoldmechanic1791
      @tiredoldmechanic1791 2 месяца назад +2

      My thought is that they were further up the hill trying to unload the track loader. As the loader got to the back of the trailer, the weight transfer lifted the rear of the truck off the ground so the whole thing rolled down the hill taking the enclosed trailer along for a ride.
