- - - - Frequently Asked Questions - - - -
Q:What camera do you use?
A: I use the Go Pro Hero 7 Black Edition primarily. Often times you will see auxillary cameras in use. Those cameras include The Go Pro Hero 6, Hero, and DJI Mavic Pro Platinum
Q: How big Is your rotator?
A: It is a 50 ton Miller Industries Vulcan 950
Q: Does the carriage slide back like Ron Pratt's?
A: No, the carriage doesn't slide back due to strict weight laws in California. The sliding carriage will make the truck to heavy in CA
Q: Why do you only have 3 winches on the rotator?
A: Comes down to weight again as stated above
Q: How many trucks Does Plaza Towing have?
A: Currently more than 30
Q: Why must the driveshaft be removed to tow a vehicle?
A: When vehicles are not running the transmission is not receiving circulating lubricant. If the driveshaft is left installed, the transmission, which is not receiving lubricant, is still spinning. This allows it to get very hot which eventually will cause major damage to the transmission. Therefore, removing the driveshaft completely eliminates the transmission from spinning. Simply leaving it in neutral is not sufficient since the transmission still spins in neutral. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Rewrapping winches should be at least a monthly maintenance item as you can also inspect the line for damage, or at first sign of bird's nesting, which is a primary cause of flattened cables. Only way to fix it and make the cables last.
My trick for rewrapping was a little F550 light duty wrecker, leave her in reverse and pull her in, while staying up top guiding/inspecting line. Just make sure to keep an eye on the nose of the little truck when it gets close. Sucks when you pull it in the air.
I do not have any tow trucks, but I do have that same folding hex key wrench. Wahoo!
I like the behind the scenes Maintenance of the truck's. I also love all of the truck's there grate looking and work well. I worked for a tow company in NY. And preventive maintenance was never in equation. Good Job.
Sir Trent !!!! No matter how old the equipment is,,there's always work to do on them !!!!! Better to do at the shop instead of at the wreck site where time is the issue !!! KEEP IT SAFE !!!!!
🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧 Love being able to see behind the scenes.
Keep em coming 🏴🇬🇧🏴
Always wondered what the inside of the deck looks like and how things are working up there. Thanks for sharing.
Hi beautiful equipment. I watch your videos and miss towing in a nice rig. Have a great memorial day to every one in your company and you.
Straightening the cable is the satisfying part of the job!
I'm surprised at how long the drag winch cable is. Good call on replacing the Landal winch cable. 9 years, you definitely got your money's worth outta that one. Good video and enjoying the vlogs as well Jr. 👍🇺🇸
Drag winch needs some serious weight to set that cable in. Its not broken in yet, i noticed as it was being wound up it bows up a bit, still has some spring in it from being new.
Ohh wow awesome
I am a fan of a big rotator tow truck and a big trailer for plaza tow
Thank you so much!
The Plaza Towing paint job on the golf cart is...um...er...how shall I say it - Homemade. 😁👌
Hey Plaza towing! If Darl give the new cable a thumbs up it must be good! Ride ride ride!
Man, my old man had a crane service, We do this yearly having 4 or 5 cranes (he buy and sell all the time). We fixed bent ones for other people to. He used to say, it takes a crane to fix a crane.
What up Trent love the video’s keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
You guys should get some white lithium grease to use for spray lubricant, wd-40 stops being a lubricant as soon as it's dry (which is like 2 minutes after you spray it on.) WD-40 even has their own version of it, though I'm not the biggest fan of WD-40's grease. We use LPS Labs white lithium grease with PTFE, it's great stuff, pretty cheap and also has rust/oxidiation inhibitors to prevent rusting.
You didn’t say if there was a safety arm in place while working under the rotator boom but I wouldn’t trust being under it in case of a hydraulic failure without one. Keep the great videos coming.
Just FYI wd40 really isn't a lubricant. It's more of a solvent and disappears very quickly.
Do RC I was thinking the same.
You guys should get GoPros for the whole team and have them do some videos of them doing their tows I think that would be interesting
Mix diesel with gear oil and put on the cables That’s some good shit lubricant for the cables 💪🏼💪🏼
Old gear oil alone works great too. Life of the cable on my boat trailer almost triple after I started to lube regularly instead of use the cable dry.
My step son loves all the trucks have you thought about maybe models
How long do the wooden decks on the trailers typically last? I expect that sometimes they can go longer than other times depending on any fluid leaks out of the loads.
Hey their what size is the semi trailer you use? It intrest me & my dad everytime he watches your videos
How often do you have to change the cable on these? Or the Rotator?
Is there any truth to the story that a cheaper grade of cable will "rats-nest" easier than the expensive cable? I notice that your cable is more likely to spool back on the drum straight even without any tension than mine EVER does. I'm still using the cable my winch came with from Ramsey. I've thought about building a fairlead with an adjustable tensioner on it-maybe then it would roll back on a little cleaner.
4:28 "..one more ugga dugga" o_O I think somebody's been watching South Main Auto vids. :)
Or ave
How much cable does the rotator have
what happens to the old cable?
3/8 or larger?
Does the towing company have their own mechanic on site if repairs are needed?
I have a question if you will. Is there a state mandated maintenance schedule your trucks have to go through in order to keep them certified? I have been curious about that. Thank you.
DOT requires 90 day inspections and pre trip inspections to name a few.
Do you have a set schedule to replace cabling and other hardware on your vehicles?
I've pulled 1140ft. off if a crane offshore by hand. Not a fun job. Golf cart was a good idea.
Good weeks work right there.
Ron Pratt has problems with the drag winch on his rotator too. Not the best design.
👊👍✌️
Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸And today is my Birthday 🎉
Happy birthday bro!
Happy birthday!
@@plazatowing Thanks and can u show more vids of the 35 tons!?
🎂👏😁
@@HarleyRidinF00L thanks!
Hey plaza towing can we see a video of you driving the blue Peterbilt with a load on it pretty sure people would want to hear that baby purr and see you shifting gears please
What kinda cable is that
What happened to the wind child's like when the truck gets stuck you guys don't produce them no more? What happened?
So.... Ahhh. Yep. Good. Wrap it up.
Are you and Darl brothers? Cousins?
Hi
3rd 😎
That is pretty poor QC when the wire rope comes from the factory kinked on the drum..
First view
Nothing a little WD 40 can't fix
