250,000 Lb Windmill | SUPER LOAD | Leaner
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Took the turn a little to tight and found some mud, it’s leaning pretty good too. The main problem was the hydraulic steering wasn’t working properly. Very heavy pull but the crew did an excellent job getting this beauty back on the road!

That must be the trickiest rescue I have ever seen ,Well done expert job .
Excellent work! Threading a needle overand over again. No injuries, no breakage. I specially respect the fact that everyone was wearing hard hats.
WOWZERS! I've heard of MEGA moves, but this is the first MEGA recovery I've heard about! Great job with this technical recovery.

Enjoyed the rescue. Like the joined two part line for the balanced steady pull. Never used it myself and often needed to see-saw very heavy loads to break mud or snow suction with a much too small wrecker with the rear wheels standing on chocks chained to the deck and the front tires floating/bouncing.
An interesting job, tricky work, but once again u guys nailed it. Awesome work by all. God Bless and Be Safe out there

How did the driver go so far without knowing the rear was in mud, any time I'm taking a tight turn I'm watching my mirror. I might understand had he been turning right but making a wide left he would have seen the rear axle instantly going over the pavment.
That's just amazing.

Looks like the Totran truck is Texas based so maybe that tower base came through Corpus Christi, Texas, Rockport, Texas or possible Houston, Texas. Totran also works out of Canada. Some windmill parts come to the West coast out of Asia. As much of that equipment we buy it is a shame we no longer make it in the USA. Exceptional job y'all did using the equipment you have. Don't look to me like you need a super rotator with the skilled personnel you have.

Good thing the front end was well on the road, why not low lines on rearward pulling winch lines, we always use low lines to keep casualty down towards road, helps hold from rolling, Good job well done from uk.
Connecting the two lines, from both trucks, to make sure both lines are the same, and, you don't have to try and figure out how much tension is on which piece of equipment.! Very good idea. That, I've never actually seen Ron Pratt do(Ron's channel is the only recovery channel, until now, that I've come across) in all the videos I've seen of his. Rich UK 🥰🥰🥰.
I don't understand why there isn't a little seat and cab on the rear of these trailers, so a bloke can sit down, in the warm and dry, during the journey, and make sure that things like this don't happen in the first place. It's not as if the truck is doing 100mph down the road is it.! And, there's usually always another small 'spotting' vehicle behind the load, to keep the rear steer person safe from a shunt from the rear. So it's not a safety issue. Maybe it's just not been thought of yet.(copyright/trademark and, patent pending RICH UK) Love the vids. Keep'em coming. Rich UK 🥰🥰🥰.
I actually watched a similar recovery to this but it didn't turn out like this they lifted the side of the trailer to high and it rolled making an even more expensive mess. Hat's off to you and the team for making it look easy even though i know it's not

for such a recovery you need a 300 or 500 t-crane. Here in Europe nobody would use a rotator though they are very useful.

Of course the towing company keeps the cars, & after a certain length of time has passed has legal ownership, & can scrap them for pennies on the dollar.

To me it looks like the rear steer failed ... I commissioned wind towers for 5 years ... Only a hand full of times we saw these stuck. Usually a 1500 manitowoc and a 90T grove tail crane would pick these ... They are seriously heavy. Well done gentleman.
Ok,I have run steerable trailers before. For them to drag that trl. That far is stupid. The steer person should of been telling the driver stop stop stop. Or they were moving more than what we call crawl speed making the turn..

You need the M100.
Suggestion... when the rig is moving really slowly, it's hard to see that movement when your camera is moving. Put the camera on a tripod, and you can just let it run, and speed it up in your video editor to show a time lapse (or use your camera's time lapse mode). The GoPro couldn't see well but that's a solvable problem... portable lights.
