OH SHIFT!!! LOOK WHAT DRAGGED INTO THE LOT!!!!
Рет қаралды 84,867
8 ай бұрынHello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, the job gets dragged into us...literally. This very odd, oversized load barely makes it into our lot after some transport bracing appear to have failed. When the bracing failed (we believe that's what happened), the load shifted and had the left side of the RGN trailer dragging the ground as well as the transport bracing. I must give the driver "props" for his driving prowess and making it safely off the interstate and into our lot with this monster!!! We bring out our flagship Peterbilt 389X with Miller Industries Century 1150R to lift the load off the trailer and transfer it to a different style of trailer. It may not seem like much, but this is a tricky lift and an even trickier job of setting it on the new trailer. I hope you enjoy this video!!!
We have a difficult and dangerous job and we take it very seriously, that doesn't mean we can't have fun and enjoy our work. We strive to be polite, professional, efficient, and safe...and still can have fun. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

I worked for a company that made things like this. I worked in the shipping department and my complaint was always the same. You can design incredible things, but if you don’t have a safe way to pick it up and ship it, you’re screwed!

Shouldn't that load also have been cross chained on the ends!? If he's going to haul oversized, he needs to be equipped for oversized, especially when there is so much extra weight on the inside drivers side.

I'm by far not a rigging expert, you are. I would imagine securing a round load like that would be difficult. I watch all of your videos, good stuff🎉🎉.
@markfergerson2145 8 ай бұрын
It’s not so much that it’s round, it’s that curve in the middle that puts the center of mass off to the side like that. If it was just a straight pipe securing it would be simple. We see loads like that on highways every day. As Ron said ideally you’d want the curved side down to put the center of mass as low as possible so that it doesn’t want to roll off the truck and stack up dunnage under the ends before strapping it down, but as the driver said that would make it too tall for underpasses. I was right there with Ron as he was saying that, but then I’m not an over the road trucker and didn’t think of the height issue either. You learn something every day.

My wife and I were traveling east on I 44 and we came upon a tractor trailer flatbed hauling some material. They were huge box beams with angles attached but the load had shifted and looked to be sliding off. In fact one piece was hanging out into the other lane. Not sure if he knew it or not but I told my wife to speed up and get around him or her. Where I worked on second shift we had loaded a rear end from a mining truck and where the driveshaft would be hooked to hung out past the side of his trailer. He said even though he couldn't haul it at night because of oversized load he would paint it black so nobody would know except for anyone he might hit. I thought he was crazy for taking a chance with that.

I hope he secured it better the second time. Instead of straps all the way over which let the load roll under the straps it needed straps just up to those lifting points particularly on the right side to stop it from wanting to roll.
@stuinNorway 8 ай бұрын
I would agree, straps from driver side of trailer to hook, and back down, then from other side over to hooke and back again, would stop any rotation. ideally that should have had a cradle made to sit under it on the low loader, with eyelets they could bolt it together, providing a solid flat base, but that costs I guess.

As for how they should have transported this, ideally it could have been contained in a square body dump trailer if there was one wide enough to fit it into. They could also have made it in more sections. The designers really needed to redesign this, and have some logistics company advise them on how to pack and send this for shipment.

Bad strapping or improper/insufficient straps could have made this a lot worse. Driver made several good decisions to keep this from going bad to fatal. I once saw a Cadillac obliterated by an improperly strapped load of lumber. When I saw it go by on the rollback, I thought it was a Geo Metro. If my father, who was a fire lieutenant on the scene, hadn't told me what it was, I never would've guessed. It's why I always throw an extra strap on anything I load in my pickup or onto a utility trailer and make sure they're tight at every stop. And if anyone fusses about the amount of time I take to secure things, to add that extra strap or chain, I remind them that they didn't see the Cadillac.

They should have provided counterweights to balance the side to side weight. Since they built it they should know what’s required. They could add the weight after it’s placed on the trailer if there’s a concern for exceeding the lift requirements. On a lighter note, it’s sweet when the jobs come to you.

You ask what went through his mind when that load shifted? I had a similar case where I was towing a Caddy stretch limo on I-95 on its front wheels back in the days before rollbacks were common. All was good until it started feeling "funny". Check the mirrors and the right side mirror is showing a front door. Sideways at 55-60 MPH. Later on I figured out that the Pitman arm had snapped. I straightened it up against a guardrail before even letting off the gas. So, I know EXACTLY what went through his mind.

@arcticelectric 8 ай бұрын
Technically, it WAS cribbed, but with metal angle welded to the pipe, which broke loose and is dragging the ground. Ron said in the beginning that the weld was not good and broke loose, causing the load to shift to the driver's side.

My thought would be some kind of wooden cradles with chocks or something to support and add to roll prevention. But apparently height was also an issue, so couldn't put much under it, I guess. Also the lifting lugs seem like logical tie-down locations to prevent rolling
