- Lifting a Broken Asphalt Paver Stuck in Gas Station - Today we are lifting a LeeBoy Asphalt Paver that was shot in the water while on a construction job. Not sure what caused the failure, but the unit was in the middle of doing the asphalt at the pumps when it took a dump. Cue the rotator and a Landoll to lift and transport this unit back to the customer's yard.
The unit itself only weighed 15,000lbs, which is light work for my 50ton rotator, HULK. Because it was small in size and due to the working area, I found it best to lift it off one side, and swing it over to the other side directly onto the Landoll. We did not want to drag this unit and tear up the brand new asphalt, and I could not drive on it (62,000lbs would destroy that plus my tires lol).
The job was quick, and ended with another satisfied customer!

It must be paver week. Ron Pratt just did one this week too,
First, Ron Pratt picked up a paver with his Rotator. Next thing you know, Josh does one.
I can here to say the same. As Ron's says all the time. There are many ways to count to ten. Josh has his rigging and Ron had his.
Both are great content creators. It would be great to see a collaboration of all the towing and recovery guys.
and PEPES did faster and still with safe in mind. Not overthinking it🤣🤣
i just watched that one a day or so ago
@@artyart31 it's not a competition. Everyone has their own idea of what is safe and what works best for them.
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Nothing but professional.
LEE BOY becomes a FLY BOY ! have a great week end guys.
Good job Josh and Alex! A good team.
👍

Good Stuff Josh! Stay safe out there!
Great job guys
I saw the one that Ron Pratt did
That's a chip shot for Hulk
Like a Tonka toy lol
Hey Josh & Alex !!!!! Great work as always !!!! 🙃🙂😉👍👍👍👍👍
Nice, glad you didn't bump the 58 Chevy!
josh another great job, and you got a real keep there with Alex it takes a great teacher to have great employees, and from what is see you got them.
Good job hulk
Josh and Alex, another smooth move! Stay safe!
That was neat and impressive again.
Another great job well done you always do a great job say hi to papi chulo joe ❤ put him on more of you calls and videos love that guy ❤️😍
Joe is primary a tower and stays mad busy. On big jobs or when everyone else is out I'll bring him
@@PepesTowingServicehe's old school. I love the videos with him. He has a can do attitude.
@@PepesTowingService oh ok well I guess I'll only see him on searching or special calls with you Josh give him my love 😘
one more good job from hulk and his team
Josh i thought you was gonna use a spreader bar for the lift. lol
Alex coming along well in the heavy scene.
I like the close caption you put on
that is two of these reported on you tub this week
I've said it before, you guy's kick ass!
Nice job guys...!
I just watched that video on Friday! What are the odds of 2 in one week!
Great job
That was fun and very cool thanks 👍👍👍👍👍😊
Good lift and transport 👍🏻👍🏻
Love all your videos, and your narrative. ❤
Show 'em how it's really done 👍👍
good job guys...
Awesome job
another cool vid love your new Landol they got a lot going for them shallow angle to load no ramps decked gooseneck and no ramps dont think there are any here in New Zealand and no Rotators
Fresh asphalt the enemy too great paint jobs.
At least it was full of asphalt
Easy!!!! Is the new 3 axle Landoll extra heavy duty like the other one?? That thing is a BEAST!!
Good job Josh & Alex using Hulk & Truck 24T. What rotator truck will you normally drive when another co-worker uses Hulk?
Plus do you have your co-workers ask permission to drive Hulk since you are the one assigned to it & if you have to use a different rotator truck for any job like any of the other rotator trucks.
I brought Hulk in this but let Alex use it to film him in the beginning. On the off chance someone has to take Hulk when I'm not in, I would take Big Flipper.
@@PepesTowingService have you even drive the Vulcan 950, Century 1140, Century 1060S or the other Century 1060S?
@@PepesTowingService could someone else using Hulk include like if there truck is down & you're doing some else like working in the office or anything?
I watch other rotator operators use tag lines in order to get >90% control of their load. It minimizes pendulum tendency while they rotate the boom
Fresh asphalt story: when Disneyland opened in 1955 it was a very hot day and some of the asphalt hadn't fully hardened, and women's high heels were sinking into it.
Is that a '58 Chevy in the yard?
No clue lol
Surprised customer didn't want it taken to repair service but its their money. Nice job all.
Perhaps the customer was renting/leasing the unit, in which case they wouldn't be responsible for repair decisions.
Maybe be the customer has their own mechanic, so take it to their yard IS take it to repair.
@@richardreid6377 Excellent point.
Is Alex learning to use the rotator? Im asking cuz he did the move and you drove lol
Good job with that stinky, sticky machine!
👌
LIKE PARA ARRIBA 👍💪🇪🇦🤪😜
Josh why do you put CC up. We can hear you just fine its annoying. Just saying. Love your videos. Are you saving shots for next year calendar I miss that.
This is what I always mean by you can't please everyone. You can hear them fine, but there are tons of people who don't have perfect hearing and request captions.
Were you surprised when that machine swung a little at the gas station?
Not really, it happens as it finds center of gravity. In hindsight Alex could have been directly over head to minimize it coming to home as he went in but it was still controlled
@@PepesTowingService Nicely done!
"LANDOLL" FOR YOU EASTCOASTERS MIDWEST COASTERS THATS A "LOWBOY". LOL
The make is literally called a Landoll. The model is 440. It's a Landoll 440. They sit at around 3' tall. A lowboy generally is a trailer that sits lower. I've seen these called Lowboys a ton, I even did and sometimes still do lol but the actual literal name is a Landoll, that's the corporation that makes them.
@@PepesTowingService 👌👌 when I worked at Freddie Macs Towing I remember transporting 2 hummers back to the Midwest on a landoll when I arrived and was about to unload a heavy wrecker driver pulled up and said that’s a cool lowboy. I was as like ok thinking to myself Landoll.
I think a lowboy is a flat, low trailer for towing tall items. the rear axle on a Landoll slides forward, allowing the bed to angle to the ground like a rollback tow truck. The Landoll has a winch, too, which the lowboy doesn't.
What did you gain by turning on the PTO
lol what? You can’t operate the controls without the PTO. If it’s turned off, you can’t move the boom or engage the cables or anything.
@@PepesTowingService My bad, I had a "Brain Fart". Should have figured that out myself but I had a hard day and my "Brain Was Dead".
@@PepesTowingService I was wondering this too because at 7:05 you were midway through swinging it over when you told Alex to stop and you were going to put the PTO on.
Ohhhhh I get it now. I meant on the Landoll. I turned the pto on the Landoll on so I can winch in the cable all the way so the paver won’t land on it
@@PepesTowingService Talking about turning on PTO now makes better sense since I also was previously confused how Hulk was part way into the lift yet you mentioned turning on PTO
Blown fuse lol
Its so cool to see that monster hold that up like nothing, sexy!
Where is the tag line at?
Not necessary here. You very clearly saw it swung from side to side then set on a Landoll just fine. Any other questions?
What's with the on screen captions. You trying to loose subscribers. Please don't spoil good video's
