- Big Excavator Rolls Over in Beverly Hills. Would you believe this happened right in front of Dr. Phil's $30,000,000 Beverly Hills mansion? We didn't find this out until the end when he drove by, but celebrity and TV star sightings are really common up in these areas. This job came in as a referral and I brought along Alex with me to tackle this difficult job.
We took Hulk, my 50 ton rotator, and Big Flipper, the huge 75 ton rotator, to get the job done based on the initial pictures received. Once we got there, I knew it would be impossible to use two trucks. The incline was much too steep to back up on and two trucks side by side at the bottom was not possible either. We decided to just use Big Flipper solo and got to work immediately.
Step one was to bring the unit close to us so it would be within our boom area. This was done with a 5/8" chain and a Bailey's grommet sling. Once it was within our working area we re-rigged using a Bailey's recovery strap and a different chain for the catch. Quite a few issues came up but nothing compared to my recent crane video. This machine was actually able to be started to retract everything and made the job nice and smooth.
Big Flipper is our strongest rotator and this job really showed the strength and power of what a 75ton rotator can do. Of course the key board warriors will say they could've done this in a flatbed. Makes you wonder why no videos of these 1ton and flatbed warriors doing these type of jobs exist anywhere on the internet though, right? :)

This incident shows that no matter how powerful the machine, even the most skilled operators can face unexpected challenges, reminding us that humility and caution are essential in every job.
As an equipment operator and equipment owner with a construction company with a few rescues under his belt, in Texas. There are few things I would have done differently in this situation. But I don't think this would have been legal in California. The fact you guys did this without cracking the hydraulic pressure on the cylinders and getting this thing up right is super impressive. Respect where it's due. You guys did a great job.
He’s a pro
Зачем такие сложности? Я так понимаю эвакуатор по времени работает? У нас в России это называется, катать вату, чтоб затянуть время и получить более высокую оплату. Можно и аккуратно выкрутить рукава и слить масло не проливая его на грунт.
respect bro
On the face of it to us laymen this looked an easy peasy job. And when I started watching I thought this isn’t worthy of a RUclips video given your usual standards. But wow ! How wrong was I !! What a recovery. Not as simple as it looked. Great work and great team work. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Josh and Alex, you two are a fantastic team, and Josh you must have straight A's in trigonometry. Your ability to figure angles and hook ups and where this huge thing was going, just wow. Great video, loved the camaraderie too.
What a workout!!!! Alex and Josh, the way you work together is an excellent example of how to get the job done......you guys are simply amazing👏👏👏👏
It is great to see you two guys working. Bouncing ideas off each other, no egos, just professionals getting the job done.
That was one heck of a job on a super steep hill. Josh and Alex did a fantastic job getting it up and set where they can now work on it! Great job Pepes Towing!
Fantastic job, Josh and Alex. You guys got a plan for everything!!
What a job with that steep grade. As usual, a job well done by Josh and Alex. Kinda funny when Alex had to get the dirt out of his shoe😂
3:00 - Damn, some people are just so careless/reckless/clueless!
There literally is a giant rig with it's hazard lights on, parked on a hairpin curve on a steep grade, and a dude with a high-viz vest blocking the open lane... And here comes Speed Racer at full throttle like he's the Mayor of Beverly Hills.
Stay safe, Josh and team!
What else would you expect from Beverly Hills.their shit dont stink,oh yea,i forgot,they dont shit there
That was Jack Smith speeding through there because he is the mayor of Beverly hills...
guy's driving an older pick-up with cablights. Not a local.
If that excavator had overturned on the road, who knows what effect it would have on traffic. It would be terrifying. I blame the driver for his carelessness.
Haha, right? Some people just don’t seem to notice the obvious hazards around them! It's like they think the road is theirs alone.
Another incredible recovery, you guys are so spot on with the rigging at impossible angles. Very impressive company. 👍👍
The precision in your rigging is truly next level-such skill and expertise on display! 👍
Alex, Josh and Big Flipper are up to the task! Great video.
That was recovery ballet! Your skill and experience was on display for everyone to enjoy. Amazing job!
So many skills, and floating ideas, changes, rerigging Content is head and shoulders above some others who also have channels. Safe and sure - Josh and Alex its a pleasure.
Thank you! I love getting these big huge jobs. Nothing wrong with the other channels who post like 95% winch outs and regular tows, but I like doing 95% rollovers and big recovery jobs
Great team work and application of engineering skills, I was glued to every second of the operation. Don't recall seeing any flawed attemps. Excellent job.
Amazing! You guys really understand the scale of the risks involved, know what you're doing, take your time, and use your equipment masterfully. And Flipper makes the excavator look like a toy. Thanks for going to the extra effort to record and share this. Cheers!
You can never get bored with your job, never the same every day, stay safe and well
Great job. You kept working at it with what you brought and you accomplished the task at hand. High marks!
I live in an area of the northeast that would not allow construction on any land with land greater than 2%. This is to control stormwater. Once again Peper Towing, and tinman and recoveryman have done it again. I love how professional Your team is!
What , no construction on land above 2% grade?
You should double check your numbers
Rules of the NYC DEP, upstate NY is the watershed for NYC. They don't want the city water contaminated. Conn is similar no steep slopes.
If your on a slope the development will also be very expensive as you have to keep all stormwater on your property with Detention Ponds
What I appreciate more than anything else in this video is the total lack of screaming and shouting. Professional riggers take the time to THINK before they speak, and it is refreshing to see a video showing that. Thank you, Pepe.
I loved how there were not eight people at once telling how to fix it.
The only way that bucket will curl in is if someone moves the control lever as if they are operating and curling the bucket, unless you break open the hydraulic lines.
That's right
Engine has to be running to do that.
Just crack off the hydraulic lines from the bucket
Just asking, doesn't the big SAFETY level on the left side of the seat be in the DOWN position. I thought that was the main control for any function, so the operator is seated. Again does that lever also have to be DOWN to release Hydraulic pressure. Or is that just a safety solenoid control for just starting.
@@rp1645 That lever is just to lockout the pilot controls, older machines it was connected directly to a valve that blocked the pressure from the pilot pump thus not allowing the pilot valves to actuate the main valve bank. Lots of machines will start regardless of the lockout lever position, some newer machines do have the lockout lever tied into the starting circuit.
Crazy how those roads are..great job guys..
What's crazy about them?
I guess it's a bit steep, but nowhere near crazy steep.
I guess you could say that the width of the road is crazy. Crazy wide for a residential road (unless that's a through road to another larger residential area)
Well that was different. Really made Alex and you think about how to do it. Great job guys. I actually don't care about all that rich people things. I could pass by all those famous people and never know who they are or care. My normal day to day is enough for me. Thanks for sharing. Much love. Stay safe and healthy
I've seen alot of rotators but just my opinion I think Ron Pratts rotator is the prettiest one of them. And I like that he truly takes really good care of her.
I disagree. Flipper is a little bland, but the Hulk runs rings around the look of Ron's and these guys dont preach to you and thats why I unsubbed from him.
I really like watching you, Pratt, & Plaza. It seems you all gat in to different situations that have to be figured out.
Josh, I absolutely enjoy your sarcasm. Dr. Phil approved!😅
you guys have a complete understanding of your gear and the cause and effect of every move you make ...amazing to watch ...well done Alex and Josha , a great recovery to watch.
I operate a top-heavy backhoe, and my secret on steep slopes is to never go fast. Stay at idle and pay attention to keeping the machine from getting close to what you already know is the tipping point of your machine. That is a very steep slope though. Good job of getting the machine back on track again.
Nice job!
Every time I watch your truck in action I’m astonished by how strong it is. And it’s like the Swiss Army knife of tow trucks.
This is a team that is calm, organized, and never flustered.
Yes, for sure. Josh and Alex make a really good team...always bouncing ideas off of each other with no egos involved.
😢 @@normawade9426
Do not know anything about this kind of machinery. I do know it takes skillful experience to do these kinds of jobs. Love the videos❣️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good job bro's, I like watching recovery videos and watch you guy's overcome all of the challenges of the particular recovery, no two recoveries are the same. You use all of the knowledge and skills you have collected from previous jobs.
Very nice towing rig you have to, modifying the rear axle to raise up is really cool and fantastic idea.
Thanks again.
Man I love all these complicated jobs. Great work boys. Keep it up 🎉🎉🎉
Unbelievable work! Now you have Flipper doing side mountain work. Stay safe all.
Steep Angle on gravel to be hauling up slings, chains, shackles etc and then recovering it down to a distance where you could lift it! Great job guys, well done 👍💕🇮🇪
Impressive. Alex is quite the performer.
got to be the best one for me, very technical very challenging and a long old day for you guys
Good teamwork as always Josh and Alex. Ya you had inconveniences like soft gravel and a 45° incline but at least you didn’t have power lines. I’m sure hulk was sad that he couldn’t help 😂
It was sad at first I couldn't help but still ended up helping since we both thought up the game plan and rigged together. Always good to have help even if it isn't in the form of a 50ton rotator lol
@@PepesTowingService team work makes the dream work and gets the job done ✅. You and Alex make such a good team. 👊🏻
You guys make me laugh ❤ you both. Great team work
من مالک آن هی هوندا هستم 😢😢😢ورشکست شدم بیل را به قیمت زیر فوختم😢😢😢😢
Wow that was an insane crazy upside-down recovery guys… And on that freaking hillside just added to the fun…! Only on Pepe’s RUclips channel…!!! Good thing you had those wide Baileys straps…!Then 32:14 & up with the drone to get those awesome & fabulous sky shots… Awesome recovery Alex and Josh…!Josh, I googled Davies Dr. then added your shop address and it’s about 21 miles depending on which you go. I like doing that too… LOL
josh you and alex are the perfect team,you guys just flow perfect with each other on every job.your dad should be so proud at the amazing jobs that you both get done.serious talent by both of you.are you and alex related?since i found your channel every episode i have seen is awesome.
Both you work great together…
Josh and Alex - always getting the interesting calls. At least it was easier than that flipped over crane.
Awesome job, guys. i wonder how many people freak out when they start that machine and let the oil burn out of the exhaust 😂
That's a signal to either shut down a diesel or run 😅
Top team cope with ease despite the problems they faced, well done guys great to watch.
Always impressive! Wow!
I miss seeing your dad though.
Oh awesome, I'm already sitting here with google earth open, I often check out locations of videos, but normally it's a guessing game that i'm pretty good at and enjoy. I was just trying to find the street for the past few minutes and then you show us.
Mega points for actually thinking about us google earth nerds :D
Incredible job rigging. That seems to be 80 - 90% of the job. You two make a great team, sharing ideas, etc.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Maybe Dr. Phill will show the videos he made on his show. I kept looking for Jed Clampet, but didn't see him anywhere. Thanks
I was hoping for Elly May myself.
The boss asked me "Why are you dragging that chain?" I said " Because it's easier than pushing it!"
People are complaining about the operator, he taught the excavator a new trick, roll over and play dead.
Alex, that was art, bro. 🤯👏😌
Just having the ignition on wasn't enough to open the valves, he also needed to bring the safety arm down to engage the hydraulics.
I don't think the "operator" understood that he didn't actually have to start the machine, just liven the circuit.
Exactly! Sometimes it’s the small steps, like engaging the safety arm, that make all the difference. It’s easy to miss if you’re not familiar with the machine.
Great Technical Recovery! Awesome job guys...
I was a little worried about your low angle lift, but you guys pulled it off really good. Great job!
Excellent job fellers! I was a little nervous about that man who kept standing on the down hill but I'm sure it was just the camera angle😊
The Dream Team, Josh and Alex, on the job again. A very awkward job, well executed.
Super job on the recovery. I was worried that when you got it up righted it would roll down the hill. But as usual you guys handled it.
Awesome rescue. Top-notch service men & equipment. Congrats! 👍
Thank you
Mr Josh That one had me sitting on the edge. Awesome video. Stay safe
That was a really difficult recovery....As i always say Josh and Alex can do it...great video guys... stay safe and see you on the next one
way to go Alex. good job boys
Iv'e seen a similar rotator on RUclips that L.A. Fire dept. owns and uses at major traffic accidents . Nice to have that piece of equipment available. Glad you have a Bailey's grommet sling. They are worth their weight in gold.
City of Los Angeles and County of Los Angeles both have beautiful , sharp equipment with incredibly proficient operators !
"You want to help? Climb inside the cab, be ready to stomp on the brakes"
"For Real?"
Classic!
🤣
Looks like another challenging recovery
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Excavator for sale! No delivery, must pick up yourself 😎 Your recovery skills are fantastic!
That was a tricky recovery. Nicely executed.
Damn! You guys have the most amazing equipment!!!
Professional work,great job!
Extra care to prevent further damage, … that’s how it should be done!
Amazing, dragging & swinging 33,000lbs off that hill, you guys rock!
Pepe made some good money on this job. Well-earned 👍🏽
i know you charge a lot of money for what you do but you worth every penny of it good luck be safe
Could Hulk have lifted back end of flipper high enough and rotate to get it started on hillside and then drive in reverse for distance up hill ?
Or drive forward, uphill?
Excelente Maniobra del operador Rescatista, al Parecer todo bien, que bueno que no se preocupe dio ninguna vida himana, Los Fierros se pueden reemplazar cuajtas veces dean necesarias pero la vida humana de pierde para siempre, muy buen video Saludo al canal desde Tierra del Fuego , Isla Navarino Pto Williams Chile.
Y'all have been getting some challenging calls here lately great work
Great job guys and the rigging was fantastic.
You guys never seem to amaze me always doing a wonderful job I love it say hello to papi chulo JOE ❤️🌹💯oh yeah no Jeffrey today
Alex, the mountain goat! Climbs it all. Thanks guys.
Nice job. That was a complicated bunch or work. You men work well together.
Was the operator ok after the tip-over? You guys have such an awesome job... no 2 days are alike. Real Pros at what you do.!!! 👍😎👍
That engine can be hydrolocked, so you have to pull the injectors to be on the save side. That smoke showed that oil went into the combustionchambers, hopefully it went good.
I put a Case 580- C on its side when the trailer ramp broke. It sat on the roll cage. No full tip over. I rode it over 😊 when we uprighted the backhoe. I checked the fluids and I thought the battery would have leak out. It did not. The old girl STARTED right up. It totally😮 shocked me.
Yes, that could of been a very expensive crank over
only if its a clapped out pos
I watched these rotators work amazing to watch how they do this.
That was incredible to watch.
Great job boys!
Amazing working 👍
Gotta give these guys credit, they know what they are doing. Good job guys!
It was years ago I drove up there, about 1984. I drove my 67 Olds 442 up there. I didn't even know where I was going, Just rolling around exploring. I was killing time when I was there to print the racing forms for the fair circuit.
As always, Very Well Done, your rigging was spot on
yo Josh 1.2 Million LFG!!
That was a tough hillside job with no access. Wow. Well done guys.
Buen trabajo, el terreno estaba muy inestable, buen video, JOSE, ALEGANDRO, buen royo.💪👍🇪🇦🖐️👏
gracias tio
Awww man, this could have been done so much easier. All you had to do was raise the excavator all the way up and quickly extend Flipper's boom all the way out. When Flipper started to catapult, and is just past the apex, hit free spool and launch Flipper up to Angelo Dr. Then you could just winch the excavator up from there! 🤪🤪. Seriously, the unconventional recoveries are what I love to see. Stay safe!
poor hulk, just sat there, looking Pretty
When you get the one hundred thousand members you can buy or rent a helocopter to lift it out . Awesome video and job .Denis from SantaRosa
I’m glued to your channel, I’ve learned so much, thank you
That's a great job of rigging and working toghter. Amazing
Thank you for sharing this God bless and much love and respect 🎉😮😅
I love how Alex loves to troll the keyboard commandos. Y'all have fun and get sh*t done.
It’s the equivalent of a barking dog ready to bite the moment the fence opens very docile . People only talk trash because they are behind a computer screen . Then you write something back and they report it 🤣🤣🤣
People coming around the curve see all the lights and think a spaceship had landed. 😳👍😆🤣😂
Ok I'm in put some oil in the machine and started up or disconnect the two boom lines I love the show😂😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely amazing!
Wow, amazing job under really tough conditions. you guys are the best.
00:10 You need a ramp. Pure and simple. I lift as well and that situation is ramp all day long.
What's the name of the tow company you work at
Ross Towing, London Ontario
We have an "Emergency Services" trailer that has all sorts of crap in it like extra tools., safety gear, extra snatch blocks to hook off something like a big tree, chains, a bunch of kinetic straps, and things like high-density large rubber ramps so that the back axels are raised against hills like yours was facing. Comes in handy versus overhead obstructions too. I've done a bunch where getting an extra 10 degrees of the truck being raised made getting over lines or over the top of something. Lifting was was made all the difference by the ramps.
I'm glad you didn't slip because that hill was trash.
Just imagine if you could have raised the entire back of the truck up another 10 degrees. You'd be snatching the excavator right off the hill within half an hour. Love your rotators. ;)
