I'm always amazed at the versatility of the Zacklift! Outstanding and safe job, Casey. 👍

Their lifts are amazing!

Those lifts came a long way from what they use to be.

Old truck driver saying only hero’s drive on ice with know chains

Looks like a sleeper team... Glad BOTH were ok

He didn't crash, merely slid off the road 😂

Just need a Finnegan

Mr dress up with Casey and Finnegan

I’m not 55, but 75 and love to watch Casey’s recoveries. He is so talented, with his new truck and its capabilities, it’s very exciting.

​@@cm44-opoI turn 75 in July and really enjoy Casey's recoveries. Not sure if this recovery was out US 20 towards Burns, but I drove through there on my way to Boise in the snow last March.

It's therapuetic, educational, and relaxing all at the same time🥰

I'll guess Zacklifts is getting a lot of good advertising from Casey's channel.

You must remember, that it is Casey's knowledge that makes the difference. Someone who would take less care in not damaging the rigs would not have had such a good outcome!

Can you explain what you mean please - here in the UK we have no idea what cold really is.

@@alanclarke2524 at around freezing there's water on the ice, it's not as bad frozen harder than with water on it, plus the snow is firmer and better traction

@@alanclarke2524 it's not completely frozen & it takes too long for the water to freeze on the roads at the warmer temps and as a driver you want the temps to drop so the ice will become sticky... but that works both ways, on the way down when it freezes and on the way up while it is thawing Basically there is still a layer of water on top making it very, very slippery where as once it freezes the ice is sticky and its basically like driving on dry pavement - if you watch water turn to ice freeze in your freezer you can see the same effect/different stages & feel of the ice

​@@alanclarke2524 it's why the UK grinds to a halt when we get a little icy weather. When the road is just below freezing and you get some rain or it just starts to melt, you get this wet slick ice which has very little grip. Also we (UK) seem to *need* super big alloy wheels and tyres suitable for 168mph (v or w rating). Rubber is too hard when cold (4⁰C) and just bands of rubber. Hence why there is talk of mid European winter tyres designed for slush and this kind of cold.

@@GavinEarnshaw Sounds like that tire change might be a really good idea!

Hint, not anywhere that there's snow!

You can tell he has trucking experience, makes a difference.

I do believe that a lot of praise goes to the operator of that great equipment too.

Low tire pressure will give better traction.... you must have the new smart tires I heard about 😅

I have been there before, on our way to Cockburn Island.

You have deep snow in Manitoulin? Heck hardly any here in the Soo! Man I hope there isn’t much snow west of Gore Bay it won’t be good for the deer!

@@RNP69 sounds mighty painful

Brain power!

Hai Een schitterende video met mooie beelden van een interessante berging in de sneeuw je legt het goed uit wat en hoe je gaat doen top , heb ervan genoten bedankt en tot de volgende video 👌👌👌👍👍gr carel uit Holland

Pity the blue one wasn’t flashing… 🥲

​@@clivehorridgeI caught that too that it ran out of battery 😢

@@clivehorridge yeah i saw that too

i thought so too @ 1st , but from certain angles i thought i saw glimpses of Blue on the TOP surface , @ 8:28 . • Some of those pucks ( various manufacturers ) have additional white LEDs ( tho sometimes the matching blue or amber color ) on the TOP surface as a "flashlight" mode . It may have just been in the wrong mode. • The early-model ones i have don't have that , but you cycle-thru 7 different patterns ( including constant-ON )

@@clivehorridge Too much of a hurry to toss it out and forgot to turn it on, but at least he got the orange one sorted before he tossed both. I've had one for many years and they are brilliant, as they also have a recharging facility if you insert rechargeable batteries - unlike the alkaline one's I currently have had in mine, for some 15 - 20 years now - (and they're still usable as the LED's take very little current to operate). I recently discovered an auction on Trade Me (a New Zealand, Australia - and looks like it's going all over the world now too - that started life as a local auction website), some six & eight pack toolboxes, that are fully rechargeable from the vehicle's electrics or from general household power, but as I am not into much driving now that I have a wheelchair & prosthetic leg etc., I haven't bought a pack yet, which I think everyone should look into getting, if doing a lot of snow & ice - high country &/or deep-inland off-road driving... ie: Such as this Six Pack: www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/safety/listing/4542002361 Many different websites have a lot of varieties, but they all do the same single thing, they alert other drivers to a roadside crash or accident site, or other "on-&-off" road driving hazard, long before they arrive at the actual site. I've even put them on top of cars I have long-rope flat-towed, as well as on top of my own "A-Framed second vehicle", that I (as a single / on own driver) needed to tow somewhere or to bring back, without driving it myself.? How does one person drive two vehicles eh ?? So yeah, I made my own A-Frame away back in 2002 when I bought a 1996 Delica 4wd Van - and still had my smaller (1st Gen Delica) Colt T-120-Y flat-deck truck, that I frequently flat-towed via A-Frame, around the farm colleting gates and or firewood etc., or flat-towed it for miles at a time - getting stuff from here to there & back again, just because I could.. My longest trip was in late 2003, when I flat towed it all the way to (AND BACK FROM), a sawmill in Tapanui, West Otago NZ, (taking the shortcut over the top of the Moa Flat hills) where I overloaded it with about 1.5 ton of macrocarpa beams etc, when we did our major house alterations here in Roxburgh, with the Colt, (no one inside) being A-Frame flat towed behind the Delica 4wd Van, after being fully bedded down onto it's suspension blocks, and with the over inflated tires, almost running flat? I dragged that sucker there and back without a sweat as if it were a mere trailer, as that was what I used it as, long enough with front to back load bars to sit it all upon. I have a video somewhere (on my main channel via www.L84DNR.co.nz ) that displays the old 1978 Colt - as I sold it here back in March 2017 ? Gezzsh all that long ago... And it still ran - with no maintenance done. re: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdiepqyomtWlZZs.html

If y'all get snow in Australia we are all in big trouble 😂😂

@@steveminton8329hell yeah bro 👊🏻

Well, we do have snow but only on a couple of ranges on the mainland, the Victorian high country and the high country in Tasmania plus a dusting in other places but nothing like you guys get. Remember the highest mountain here is just over 7000 feet. Apart from Tassie, none of it is near major roads. @@steveminton8329

I folliw Cutting Edge Engineering and Demolition Dave. Australia is a dream paradise for me.

Another great video from Casey. You are good at this, you are going to stop saying, “I never said I was good at this”. Thanks for the entertainment, take care, stay safe.

Yup! You can turn that wheel and gently press the brake pedal but its not going to do much! 🙂 Stomping on the brakes is even worse! 🙂

If you like this sort of thing check out midwest towing out of Southern Missouri. He is really really good with the rotator as well as other equipment. Extreme professional.

@@paulprigge1209that channel is name is Ron Pratt, not under the business name.

@dusty1280 Please make sure you exercise your new hip, if you don’t follow the physio advised, it will seize up. I’m going skiing this weekend with a friend the same age as me (70) and he’s had both hips replaced, knocking about 20 years off his age! Best of luck with your recovery 👍🏻🇷🇴

@@clivehorridge oh yea I am only 41 and it’s been 2 weeks and I am walking with out any devices, but I really do enjoy watching Casey, he just seems relatable and realistic, and it might be the size of his channel but it’s really entertaining

Don’t worry, I damaged the shit out of the next truck I recovered 😂

@@CaseyLaDelle You never said that you were good at this...

​@@CaseyLaDelle😂oh no!! Lol

If at all they stop the traffic at the entry junction only 😂😂😂

I watched him swing on the lift a couple olf times . . 🙂

Best invention ever, eh?

Was the blue light working?

I was going to ask that question as well.......Never saw any flashes from the blue puck@@bobspackman6694

Yes, averaging 2.5 million new views a month.

That's the way it should be!

No religious talk on this channel

The army was wrong. Don’t do that.

@@CaseyLaDelle And why is the army wrong? Ive been doing it for over 20 years with no binding up on recovery gear and will continue to do so. Im sure the army has been doing it longer than you. if you are going to put someone's suggestion down without an explanation, you should elaborate. Placing a recovery hook facing down will cause it to dig in or grab on anything it passes over. This is wrong. Dont do that.

We've all been doing it this way . 40 yrs for me, but I'm stupid just ask Casey

The shackles are meant to be tightened, if you leave slack in the bolt, under full load allows the shackle to deform. Pin keeps it from deforming, that's why the pin has a flat with a hole, you are supposed to use a tool to remove them if they tighten

@@joshmoe3680 Another 1 that knows better than the teaching of a transport unit in the army. I never once said loosen it, just crack it. I did that for my 20 years in the army and never ever deformed a shackle and never needed to use another tool to undo it, so you do what u think and Ill continue to do what Ive proven to do that works.

Long distance OTR sleeper team... Probably wasn't keeping updates on the weather and ran into that black ice situation 😢

Guessing $750-$1000
