75ton rotator off loading mixer bowls

- We were called by one of our good accounts for assistance in removing a couple of mixer bowls to then be transported. Both mixer bowls were full; the first having 10 yards and the second about 9 yards.
Mixer bowls can be tricky since unlike a container they do not have direct lift points. I chose to go with the 75ton rotator aka big flipper on this job since I knew I would have to be pretty extended out off the side. The truck performed well and I hope you guys agree, let me know what you think!
Don't forget to follow us on Instagram and Facebook to see our daily recoveries and to be on the lookout for the new Pepe's calendar coming out soon.

videos are cool very calming to watch , thank you
Smart move with the fridge in Flipper and Hulk. Hydration is key. Thanks for the vids.
Enjoy tour videos and the fact that I can watch them with my grandkids without worrying about inappropriate language.
Glad you and the family enjoy my videos
Naaah bro...your videos are top notch....the fact that you guys are real respectful how you treat everyone in the operation makes a difference and speaks well of your company.
The equipment and how you guys use it makes watching engaging
You do a great job with your video I watch your and Ron of midwest truck They are the best
Just recently found your channel and wanted to give a big thumbs up. I am no recovery specialist, but for my amateur vote, you are definitely one of the most professional groups out there. I have watched vids from around several different heavy tow / recovery companies and Pepe's is up there. It is awesome to how all the Pepe guys jump in and help each other out during a job.
Thank you, means a lot even if you aren't in the industry. I have a few jobs that I can't wait to post soon that I'm sure you'll love.
I'm binge-watching all of your videos! Happy for you and your team!
A pleasure to follow such a passionate man . Great Job each time . From La Reunion Island.
and a great team too . The result is woaw .
Thank you, always grateful for fans!
When I watch your videos I'm setting up with my 1/64 dcp trucks and recovery trucks , I love your shows so cool
I am 67yo disable love to watch you guys love caps to
Thanks Josh! ☺ You love your job, and we do too!! 🤩
Mixer Drum. Ive been inside many of them welding new fins inside for this
company back in '91, also was there when they built the new Plant on Washington
to supply concrete for the new convention center. also saved and lost some of those
loads for A&A and L.A. Premix back in the early 90's. Good times and Good job PePe's.
I love watching ur videos and really enjoys them. Keep up the awesome work u do.
Thank's for another cool video Josh!! It's pretty cool how delicate Big Flipper can be operated. It's not just a Beast!!
Big Flipper is where strength and elegance meet
Very well done!! Saludos a tu Papa... he is a very humble man. Always gave me his advice when I went on my small business venture.
Never cared for watching wreckers until now... keep up the great content... love the channel man
Truck is a beast doesn’t hurt to have great operator too great job as always
Sir Josh !! Great video & Thanks for sharing !!! Looking forward to more as long as NO 1 Gets hurt !!! ""KEEP IT SAFE """
Plenty more where this came from!
@@PepesTowingService Bring them ON !!! Thanks
Really good job young man. You sir are super at figuring out geometry and load . Stay Safe.
LOOKS like PEPES KNOWS WHATS UP with the BIG LIFT (VERY NICE TRUCKS) -------------------------KEEP IT UP PEPPY
Just found your channel again , really like how you take care of business .
Awesome job love your videos thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching
I would hate to be the person who gets to jackhammer that mess out. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Love it when the job and your equipment gives you options! Look forward to the upcoming Pepe's 2020 Calendar!
I'm going to hopefully start on the calendar within the next few days, should be amazing.
Man I just saw your truck on Good Morning America I think with that tractor on edge of overpass. Cool!
Yup that was us, such a good call. Will make for an excellent video
Make sure your safety comes first! Once your hurt and injured your never the same! I was injured in the United States Navy in 1991. I was 25; I have been permanently disabled since 1997 because of my service connected injuries! I should had been retired from the Navy but I digress!
Greeting From Brooklyn, New York City. We see you Big Flipper working non stop, Big Flipper is gorgeous at night lighting up the sky lifting the world coast by coast. Big Flipper with NO under lift is strong as OX ! Yes look OX up in Thesaurus it WILL explain why HULK was in the comings of her birth. Everyone please don't forget to Ride Safe and Take Pride In Your Ride, Riding Driving DIRTY don't make you strong. See You In The Yard D Block...
Recovered a rolled over mixer . WSP would not let us move it before the mix set up . Got truck on it's wheels but the weight was all up on one side . Gently towed the truck half mile to open field and removed the drum off the truck . What an awkward load .
Yikes! Loaded mixers are always "fun" lol
Awesome. Love this stuff. It’s a bunch of steps ahead and me and my warn winch with a snatch block.
Hey you can do a lot with a snatch block and good rigging!
Good job; Thanks for the Pepe's loot.
great watching your videos...I love how you love your job and your trucks..(and talk to your trucks)... :-)
Flipper. And hulk amazing trucks i love to work white you guys Andy from Pennsylvania nice
Hey much love from Vegas. Love what u do and can’t see much from rigs like yours. I’m from the sfv area but wish to see u work in person. Keep up the good content. And be safe on the roads.
I love your work! Pretty nice trucks too!
Great job great videos keep up the great work! Happy holidays to all at PEPE ‘S towing!
Likewise!
And might I add concrete trucks on the east coast are spec'd so different. That size would probably be a front loader, with the rig being a oshkosh 6x6 with a lift axle on single floater style tires, and its compact, no extra frame at all between cab and drum. I always thought that California style of the axle dropping down behind the truck was silly. Then again check out a Michigan special
The next step for the rotator truck company is to install a series of sensors in the crane that can transmit info to your smart phone giving you real time data as to the amount of stress that your rig is dealing with. And then recommend adjustments to put the least amount of stress on your rig.
kidynamite58 hello, but ALL OF THAT is one the EMOTR, which also tells you just how HEAVY, YOUR PICK IS. Cheers From NJ🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great job as always.
Thanks bud
Good job of lifting those heavy bowls.
Thanks!
Nice job, well done
Great video! I think they used to just throw a stick of dynamite in them to break the concrete into small pieces and remove it by hand.
you mean like this? >> th-cam.com/video/VHhB2XoCeP4/w-d-xo.html
Mythbusters tried that. Didn't end well. Although they used a bit more than a stick.
Love the videos
PEPES TOWING FTW!!!
Thank you for being a fan!
Guy's josh has said it in many videos their Rotators are Fixed carriage style due to the Weight Restrictions in California
Loved the fridge 👌👌
The operator makes the difference trust me !
Omg that mini fridge is prob mvp
Awesome video !!!
I need a hat or sticker next time you tow one of these mixers or bottom dumps related to this company.. keep on trucking bro
just started watch your channel great job thanks
they would make killer boat anchors
Would love that T-Shirt...
On it!
...and/or a super hat...Thanks
Concrete (Drum) we call them a drum. Lol. Nice work guys. We use our front end loader to remove drums and set new ones on the truck. Rotator looks better doing it though.
Nice, how much are your front end loaders capable of lifting?
That's what I was wondering ^
@@PepesTowingService I will find out for you. Let me be clear we use the loader to unload and switch (Empty Drums) if it had any more then a yard we chip it out prior to lifting it off. The only way that Drum could weigh 40K is if it had 9 plus yards still in it. My mixer is way bigger then that one and mine has 6 axles and fully loaded with 10 yards the load and truck weigh out at approximately 82K depending on how much build up is in the Drum. So if that Drum was empty it would only weigh I'm guessing 6 to 8 thousand pounds. I will repost that exact weigh of an empty 11 cubic yard drum. You guy's rock Josh.
Hey Pepe's towing service! Where can I purchase an XL black t-shirt? If you don't have a merchandise provider but decide to get one please chose one that ships to Canada! Big respect from Vancouver! Please do a quick history of Pepe's! Ride ride ride!
Looking into getting merchandise very soon!
Great video, keep up the good work.
I want to say thank you for your videos that I'm a nobody loser and I try to do anything and everything 💯 but I have bad luck
I want one of your guys shirt but I don't have the money I have a son and bills. Lol
Do the boom cylinders have safety check valves in case of a hydraulic hose failure?
Been awhile but never the less. A new empty 11 yard Mixer Drum weighs about 5 thousand pound's I am told. But you can have a lot of build up in the drum making it much heavier. If their was a catastrophic failure and the drum had a full load of 10 yards then your around 45 thousand for just the drum. 4000 per yard give or take depending on the mix.
Really nice professional job, Once the drum is on a low-boy trailer, how does the concrete company move the loaded drum?? Any idea how long is needed to jackhammer the concrete out?
you do it this way >> th-cam.com/video/VHhB2XoCeP4/w-d-xo.html
Those drums are scrapped.
Hey Josh why don't you have any of those ball caps in your store. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
i just found this great work vary good videos
Maybe a master link on the web strap, Great job as usual
It's not necessary, but I have done that before. Just did not on this scenario; good suggestion though!
Very little that I’ve seen you do is boring. Glad I don’t have to jackhammer that concrete out of those containers.
Uuuuuu I won’t a 🧢 to..good job....
IM GLAD IS NOT IN THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS LOL 😂
RIGHT haha
Please explain why the ready mixer couldn't unload. Also will the mixer drum be repaired?
Way to many guys hanging out in the danger zone on that site. If that strap slipped or broke, that thing could go anywhere.
There's ALWAYS that one guy, and you are him lol. What specific part at what minute/second are you referencing?
@@PepesTowingService OK. Silly me. I was just joking, hydraulic lines, seals, lifting straps, pumps, electronics, or a hundred other things have never failed causing a load to drop. Also people wondering around within 5 feet of a 45,000 pound load hanging 10 feet in the air along the direct line of fall if the hydraulics fail are perfectly safe. Guy supervising was the worst offender. Supervisor, old guy in the yellow vest, loved to hang around near the trailer 9:36 9:55 25:02 25:35
with the solid concrete all on the bottom of the drum it would only go down and not roll everyone was fine
@@jonschneck4559 Thank you. That guy just sounds like the stereotypical city worker that stands there and does nothing lol
You guys are busy today on 12/4/19 watching the local news and a Pepes heavy duty tow truck pulling a crashed semi truck off the k rail on the 710 near the 60 fwys
Yup that was us, working on that video!
That was some amazing rigging work. Talk about getting center of gravity right the first time. Did you train or work a rigger before you got into towing?
I have a bit of certified training, but it's a family company and I learned most from my father who has been in the game for 40 years.
@@PepesTowingService Sweet. My father was a truck driver for 32 years but insisted all of his kids go to college... haha, I ended up driving a truck anyway (for about a year) and my brother owns a small 4 semi trucking company. But he always preached defensive driving which has kept me safe for almost 40 years in a car. Thanks for sharing, hope you all have a great day.
@@msnpassjan2004 I'm almost in the same scenario haha. This stuff just runs through my blood.
@@jayhook-zm1pw Yup, 100% agree.
why do you always lift from the side rather than back up to the load
Working off the sides has a multitude of benefits. Also why buy a Rotator if you're just going to use it off the back? Just buy a wrecker if that's the case
Great videos. Keep up the good work. Where can I buy hats and shirts?
Working on getting merchandise for that!
I would like a cap like that
Can those drums be put back in service?, the right equipment makes for easy, safe jobs
I'm sure if there's no damage they can be
I have a dumb question why does big flipper have 3 axles if it's only use for recovery and not towing
10 yards of mud, around 40,000 lbs, drum is around 5,000 lbs. I have removed a few myself.
Can these drums be salvaged, or do they just end up at a tip?
Great job man,where can I get a hat?
Soon!
Great video! How can I get one of your hats? Would love to buy one!
21:40 This one did not make the 2020 calendar, maybe next year Big Flipper, maybe next year....
What is that rattle noise in the back of big flipper
Mixer. Drums
Dang what caused those mixer,s to get that shape that,s alot of mud wasted .but on the other hand .the hard cement will.make great crush and run for some one big flipper say,s i got this i,m Mr T of the pepe,s towing fleet
Super...
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
this is how you remove the concrete out of the bowls >> th-cam.com/video/4IcHUHRf_S0/w-d-xo.html
Is the wheels on top of the barrel for carrying extra weight
Yes. They use them when carrying over 10 yards. Which is over 80,000 GVW.
Is this truck the one you rescued from that ditch?
Yes haha that is the one
There exists a high powered hydrojet that would break all the concrete
Is that a rolling rotator or just a regular rotator?
due to California's Weight laws they are fixed carriages
@@Chaplain_GM Partially correct, we are notorious for our very strict weight laws. This is not a slider. The weight issue is also why big flipper is a 75ton rotator with no underlift.
Curious as to less than 2 min into your alls videos the ads start
An empty tub doesn't weigh much BUT concrete is close to 2 tons per yard. 10 yards is 21 1/2 tons 21k. Plus tub. BUT this is a 75 ton rotator. Should be nothing to it.
Hey dude what does the OPG stand for?
Official Police Garage
Like Joe said, Official Police Garage. We are the official heavy duty police garage for the entire city of LA. So when LAPD needs a heavy duty impound or recovery, we get the call.
It's probably just me, but I think I would have dropped that load down to about 4 feet off the ground as soon as the truck body cleared. That would have cleared the trailer and been a safer height. It wasn't likely of course, but if anything had failed with the rigging with that bowl in the air, you would have had a 20 ton top spinning and rolling all over the place. Not good.
I went over this in the video.
@17:12 "I love your TH-cam channel". Josh...I love it also, BUT, I wish you would hire a dedicated camera person because the head-mount system makes me nauseous.
Lol, 4 years on, worldfamous 🇳🇱🇳🇱
Bet these mixers will land in a place where a student will have to jackhammer the concrete out of them
.
Hope he's ready by now
yall shoulda waited and got a 100ton from miller, lmao
They ought to use some left over concrete from jobs and fix their own yard, so t's not a mud pit.
Mixer bowls to then be transported, why ? I'm unclear why this was called to be done, even after reading the narrative ? Usually concrete is mixed & placed in job site formwork.
These were damaged /wrecked bowls sitting for a long time. They were transported to either repair or destroy
Stand up a camera on a tripod somewhere out of the way, turn it on, and forget it until the job's done. Five minutes, tops.
I have tripod GoPro views in a lot of my other videos. But like I find myself saying a lot, you can't please everyone. On those videos, people say "wish I could see and hear the setting up/lifting process" etc. That's why I use a mix of helmet, tripod and drone.
