60,000lb X-RAY Truck Almost Flips Over!

- 60,000lb X-RAY Truck Almost Flips Over! What an absolute close call this recovery was. Had this unit really gone over, it would have been one of our hardest just due to the weight and structure of this intricate truck. The outer body is mainly fiberglass, with no lifting points unlike a container. The driver caught a break here and the semi prevent it from fully going over.
This job was done by Dave in the 40ton rotator and Alex in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator. Of course, they were joined by Mr. YEAH I KNOW himself aka Spider aka Hector. The job came with a ton of risk, but Alex and Dave kept it very cool and worked this job to perfection.
Dave's rotator kept the truck stabilized while also winching the trailer over, and Alex used the might of Big Flipper to lift the entire rear in the air and swing it all the way over to the guardrail. This method solves two problems: 1) keeping the truck from going over during the winch and 2) getting the truck to a more stable position so he can continue forward while making the turn.
I know the calm and cool behavior make this look easy, but trust me when I say this was a very difficult job done incredibly fast. What did you guys think And if you REALLY want to support your favorite tow channel, become a member here: / @pepestowingservice

I wanna drive the X ray truck! 😃

Lowboy job opening now
Those X-Ray trucks are very expensive, multi-million dollar units. Good job guys.
One of the rare times the rescued vehicle is more expensive than Big Flipper...
I don't know what's more impressive the fact that the truck didn't fall off in the first place or the fact that it's at such an angle that almost any vehicle would fall off at
From looks of tire tracks, driver failed to make a very wide approach to stay on pavement, rear trailer tires are way ,way into dirt off curve, soil appears wet and mushy, why whole train didn’t tip is a mystery & a miracle. Driver didn’t allow for extra length to keep rig on pavement . Hopefully, this recovery is successful.
@trepanier01 the vehicle being transported was chained down to the trailer otherwise it would have rolled over definately.
Don't know the tail weight of the X-ray truck, but I would have loaded it facing backwards to save extending the deck of the trailer gotta do what ya gotta do, and shout out to the chain manufacturer
Excellent chains and tie downs, load stayed with the trailer
"Wassup Spider!" 😂😂😂 I swear that he's got a smoke goin' in every video😂
Right 😂 like a comedy movie where every scene it's just chilling in his mouth
Good on him ..cool dude ..
Like my old boss used to say,
Everybody F's up, some get out on there own, others need a hand !!
Or in this case, a couple rotators
but sometimes its just too much like this
Alex and Dave: Masters of their Craft.
Every time Alex or Josh draws a complex recovery, like this one, it's like a rigging clinic. You watch, you see things that are cool, entertaining, but you also learn. I do, anyhow. I really admire & respect their knowledge and a helluva work ethic. Very courteous and patient, too. Two thumbs up! 👍👍
You guys never cease to amaze me. Good job Alex and Dave.
This is one of my favorite recoveries given the equipment/vehicles used for the recovery, the special rigging required, the size of the equipment recovered and of course, a cameo by Spider. Great job
Thank you! To the lay person it seems like a regular recovery but people can't really grasp how much of a nightmare this job really was, made to look easy because everyone is so calm and professional
This is a Mobile Vehicle Examination and X-Ray machine owned by the DHS- Customs and Border Protection Agency. They are used at the ports of LA/LB to examine containers at roadside inspection points. As Alex mentioned, it has a large telescoping boom which swings at an upside-down L shape from the passenger side at a 90° angle that allows semi-trucks to pass under and thru it. The section that says “HCV Mobile” is the onboard office with all the computers and monitoring equipment.
Thanks, i thought it was a human x ray truck but the boom had me stumped..
That looks like a military X-Ray for loaded trucks and Containers. Drive in and get checked out. Went through them when delivering to Military Bases.
Rear box swings Left or right, truck moves back and forth to scan trailers or containers. Driver had to leave area to avoid over exposure to X-Rays.
The boom swings off the side of the main truck making a bridge so the trucks and trailers can drive thru and be scanned for explosive materials.
Thanks for that explanation, I was like, mobile ray machines are used on people, what's this boom all about?
The ports use them too.. Since it’s the 405 freeway, I’m sure that’s where it’s going or coming from.
Just 3 words for Dave and Alex....PROFESSIONAL, PROFESSIONAL, PROFESSIONAL. Excellent job .
Big Flipper is so impressive!
I'm glad it was you figuring out that rigging and not me. 👍
Driver needs to be recruited to SWIFT.
🤣
Next job for that driver is swift or Amazon Prime 😂
"Skill" is one way to make tough things look easy. You guys are masters.
Had to google the truck being transported.. From the title X-Ray, I was thinking mobile medical not cargo. Then the mention of the Boom, I'm like huh? Actually a very interesting piece of kit.
It's for X-raying very large people.🤣
@@tiredoldmechanic1791 With very large appendages.🤣
The hell was the driver thinking
Two of the best in the business. Alex makes a good captain.
Man that curb saved that from rolling. That sucker was leaning! 👏👏👏💪💪💪
I love the relationship these guy's have with 'Law Enforcement' total mutual respect! Good job guy's ..Also why wouldn't a qualified driver like that not stay out wide enough to cut the curve, beats me man!
Give respect to earn respect. My dad established that many ages ago. Most of the time when we show up they never even get out of their cars because they know Pepe's has it under control and will open up lanes soon.
yeah-usually those heavy haul guys are the best--they are always extra careful to get the big money!!
From the look of it no proper route planning he’s longer than the exit ramp even though he swung out wide
@@Los629 route is usually specified by the required oversize permit so not much the driver can do about it, listen to him at 42:16
@@hondaman08 i made the comment before listening to the whole video. My bad. I would think the route planner would have knowledge of that not send the driver that way.
That shit was amazing, well played, millions of dollars of equipment on that ramp and all safe. Alex and Dave did great!!
Guess he won't use that off ramp again 🙄
Glad somebody's there to help ❤
That off ramp is a huge area for these type of jobs. We made the cover of American Towman on a job a few years back in this same spot for a different job.
@@PepesTowingService Just found it, April 2019 edition, Big Flipper and Dave right there on the cover!
At least we can say the guy can do a pretty sweet tie down job.
Great job as always.❤❤
What a pleasure to watch you guys at work. What a team of Pro's. Thank you.
Damn, I'd be shitting bricks standing up there leaning that way. 😬
Alex and Super Dave to the rescue, another flawless rescue
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaamazing, as usual, love those drone shots. Great job Alex (Mr. Cool), Dave and Hector. Thanks, Josh!✌
good work guys, a perfect job, maybe steered axles on the trailer are the solution for this type of transport as we have had in Europe for a number of years
Alex + Dave, a very impressive save! It sure looked like a goner when you guys started! Congrats!
That is a gorgeous commercial carrier x ray unit and these days there aren't enough of them operating. Another Excellent Job Well Done Alex and Dave + Spider
HELP, I have an addiction to this channel!
it's about to go. *walks around side about to go* i'm glad you know what you are doing pepe - you would have had to have dragged me round there! 😬😃😄
Hope you don't have a run on jobs like this. Like the telehandlers. The ice plants are like hitting snot.😅 . Well done Alex. The drone shots were fabulous 👌
Yeah, let’s go out and crawl around a leaning X-ray truck on a freeway off-ramp today. Yeah… said no man ever! Nice job guy. I see your trucks daily. Mad respect.
Well, it looks like the new guy has to climb on the truck, just kidding. Amazing job, shows the benefit of over rigging. This could have gone so wrong. Great job Alex and Dave. I missed Josh's comments lately.
Ah right! Pepe's on the job--another neat video....
And we got the Spider and Smooth Dave.....
Going to be allright now...situation under control-
Very well assessed and executed. Great there Alex and Dave.
Scary lift. Very impressive. Steak and lobster on Josh.
Dave's truck is one bad ass looking horse.
That was a fun lift. Looked for sure like it wanted to roll over into the ditch. Nice save. Good teamwork by Pepe's Towing.
Alex, you rig for everybody. Good Dude. Thanks.
I used to watch an other towing company but he hired a bunch of kids tells them all what to do. You guys rock the towing world. Good job
Good Job Josh !
I did this the other day with my tandem slid to the back, turning into a small truck stop with my trainer in the passenger seat lol. Thank god it didn’t tip. That’s a real life lesson tho, I’ll be paying attention next time.
Magnificent! Alex, you are incredibly brave to even go near that truck, let alone climb all over it! I certainly couldn't 😳👍
Driver cut that just like if he was driving a Prius
Mr Josh Another awesome recovery by your crew. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Great job again. You guys continue to do amazing work in a professional manner.
Great recovery and great job
Thanks for sharing you are so experienced in this field 👍🏽
Amazing incredible, patient, longsuffering --- successful recovery! Great Job!
That was an easy job ... Job well done guys ❤say hello to papi chulo JOE ❤️
Great Job !
every time I watch you I see spider and his honesty makes me laugh all the time. Like calling this driver a liar… I’m a driver and he lied to y’all about what happened. I’m just seeing this video and knew what happened. 😂😂😂
Alex aka Spiderman is at it again crawling all over the rigs. Tough looking job.
Excellent job !!!
Good job guys!! Everybody went home at the end of the day! You saved a critical peace of medical equipment and may have saved someone a good job!!
Great job, spot on recovery! Be safe!!
You guys have a cool job
NEVER EVER will I see a Florida Tow Operator clean up the road after an incident.!
My hoodie just arrived yesterday ☺️. That driver legit took that curve like he was running solo.
Awesome job guys, amazed how it was still upright when you got there.
Alex once again an awesome job you and Dave worked well together
Another awesome job. This one was trickier than it looked. Pulled it off with no sweat the Pepe's way.
That ramp looks super tight without the extended trailer frame.
That was an awesome recovery there...very well executed....Alex your the man lol....stay safe and see you on the next one
Buenas tardes, buen video, un trabajo excelente, Alex, buen trabajo en equipo, hoy estabas bien acompañado, bonitas imágenes aéreas las del dron, saludos.❤👏👍💪🖐️🇪🇦. Jesús.
¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Saludos
Good job fellas, keep up the great work.
That was an easy job ..... Job well done guys say hello to papi chulo JOE ❤️
My old company used to haul that truck, I made a custom deck insert with blocks to get the ass end over the rear deck. Shortens the spread in the well and puts more weight on the rear frame rails. Still need an excellent driver to move something that awkward
Got a vid showing the truck for sale but need to see the rest of them too!! That black with red is a pretty unit! Great job with the fragile expensive load, well done video
Fabulous ..such smooth operators ...beautiful trucks ..
thank you for watching
Pepe you did great on the riging and lift to keep from loosing the truck.!!!!!!!!
Great job guys love the top view
Another brilliant video, the rescue was Another example of the importance of rigging .
You guys are always impressive and so professional, great job all . 👍👍
I feel like we need YAH I KNOE merch at this point. I'd rock a hardhat sticker with that 🤣
nice work
Geile Technik Grüße aus Deutschland 👍👍👍
HONK = take your time be safe. I am sure of that meaning.
If that truck had gone over that trucking company might have been out of business or their insurance would have tripled in price. Good job from Pepes men getting it back on the road!
Good job bro
Looking good nice work u all 👍👍👍👍👍😊
Excellent chains and tie downs, load stayed with the trailer, after drop off I would be checking the 5th wheel bolts and nuts, platform complete assembly
Your trucks and skills are amazing.
Cool drone footage too, it gives it so much more
Nice and smooth good job man,,, I work on Cell towers and love to rig, Every situation is different so you have to figured out what you going to do and how before you move to the next step, I can say that was smooth good rigging 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 🤙
Great shots with the drone.....dude yall killin it!!
Everytime Alex dipped into the trucks inside by the turret, all the creaking was tense to hear.
The very BEST, WOW!!
nice job guys
These pepe’s towing trucks are doing great job I will give them a 7 stars for their great service
Big Flipper needs a painted alter ego like hulk 🤔
A muscular dolphin or something lol
My Little Pony.
Nice save!
GREAT JOB! Talking about having to be on your A-Game. Can’t have any pollutants clouding your sesos thats for damn sure!
Very nice well done guys keep up the great work
Love your video
Yooo wtf did that driver smoke 😂
“Idk boss someone took the truck” is what’d I’d say 😂
You get all the really challenging and interesting jobs. You should write an instruction manual for tow and rescue operators.
nice job
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
This truck driver never heard of "WHEN IN DOUBT GET OUT!" or he just never uses his right mirror!
Who takes his 52" trailer/lowboy in a right turn and doesn't look to see where his axles are?
This guy!
Good job Boss, you save this guy's bacon for sure!
4am or thereabouts, a little bit of fatigue maybe, **it happens. The ramp wasn't the best either, huge camber into the weeds, just a bad road design.
😂😂😂😂
@@colinl9018 100% drivers fault. Trailer was barely stretched. Stretching 13 to 15' is what an experience guy may consider barely. The camber into the weeds was beyond the curb, kinda not supposed to be there! Ramp was a slightly tight curve in the middle (driver didn't even make it that far)but massively wide and stretched to only 45' or so in the well he wouldn't even have come close to the curb if riding the guardrail with the front bumper the whole way. But go ahead and deny all the evidence.
