Mike does a great job on rotator in all jobs. He is good at the what he does... Nice job on the recovery of the high lift.

Waited all week for this. Finally at 2am I get to watch it. Good recovery y'all.

Is nothing like cooperation from everybody on the team job well done guys the recovery is a success

WOWZERS! That zoomboom went for a rough ride!

Glad that one turned out well. It was a challenging position. IMO, there are a few lessons that could be learned from this video about planning, rigging, and making safe working position choices.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the tator that dirty😁 great recovery and team work 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Amazing work on a tricky job. Stafe Safe and God Bless!!

Some aren't as safety conscious as others. Too bad, someday an accident may result. This was a great recovery. Thanks for the video 😊👍

Great Channel. Love what your doing. This looked like a fun recovery!

As much as you learn some recoveries are a tad different. Always keeping you on your toes. Good video.

Everyone has their own ideas. My plan would have been: 1) get it on its tires, 2) rig for the pick, 3) redirect an aux winch from the tail of the truck to get a low pull on the rear of the tele handler & pull it around to be able to "roll" uphill (realize that it won't roll much due to being hydraulic drive), 4) drag it uphill until you have it in position to get the pick, 5) pickup & set on trailer. Turning the machine 90 degrees so it's oriented to roll should reduce the ground resistance & the lower redirect would put less leverage on your truck boom. Oh, I almost forgot DON'T STAND UNDER THE LOAD.

That would have been a wild ride to the bottom. Hope the operator is okay. Nice job on the recovery.

Bless you.

You got to work that truck and don't be afraid of it

MrBill Johnson when lifting you always want to make tiny small movements, this one especially, any bit of recoil was making the rotator rear leg move just slightly because of how far out we were

I thought music was playing some where's in the background nope! Just the heart pounding sound of hard work.

Most unusual to see so many people standing directly under the lift or downhill of it.

great video guys :)

BTW, I watch all of your videos. 👌👍👍

Good one... thanks...

Good recovery. Maybe a little more concern for safety, the guy in the red and black shirt was in many compromising situations. Between truck and load, under suspended load etc. Love to watch but that was a little scary at times.

Sir Dustyn !! Rough ride for the driver or did he bale out b/4 it went over the edge ??? Great recovery as always by ALL Crew !!! The Rental Customer should be happy that looks like the machine could be checked out & started right up to go back to work !! Thanks & ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!!!

In the fall zone really bad place to stand under it

Oh to be 'that fly on the wall' to see what events led up to cause that telehandler to end up down that there.

Like #898 Thanks for the video! Life is a learning curve! HINDSIGHT is 20-15!

Great vid .keep it up godbless

Setting up a time lapse camera would work good on these long slow recoveries. None of you guys below the load can move and accelerate as fast as gravity moves at 32 feet per second per second. This was the scariest job I've seen you do. Too many people beneath or downhill of the load. When Mike pushed the tire to rotate the load at 48:40, he was in a very dangerous position.

Nice job. Just out of curiosity how come after you uprighted it you didn't turn it parallel with the boom tail towards the truck? Then your lower winch lines would be doing most of your heavy pulling towards the bottom of your boom and the tip would only have to guide it. Left winches on the left side of the machine right to the right, then when you got it on top when you swung it would have already been over the trailer the right direction and the whole weight of the machine would have been distributed over the whole boom and not just the tip. Not picking on the recovery just curious from another operator's point of view.

How the heck did this happen?

This will definitely come out of their rental deposit 😱. Damn did you really need that 50 ton trailer to haul that thing?

@CountryEquipmentRentals

All we have are 50 ton trailers lol so yes. It’s nearly 20,000 lbs so it has to be on a trailer, not a roll bed, not to mention it would also be too long on a roll bed.

Never start the engine after a roll-over unless you want to pay for engine damage.

All the movement made me sea sick.

Just curious if your shop charges by the hour...lol

There are tie downs low on that machine. You should have rigged "low" and pulled it up with all 4 tires on the ground. Redirect the lower cables to the outriggers for a pull with cable about a foot or 2 off the hillside....but hey you got it done I guess

Next time run your secondary winches to the second stage of your boom for more lift. And I always run mine out during a recovery just incase I need them

I was a crane operator for years and, you shouldn't let anyone get between the Rock and the hard point if he does not move don't make the lift or he needs a new job

How did this happen? Was on a trailer, or was it being driven?

"His last dance ..." at 38 ': 50 ", the man stands more than dangerously in the fall line of the load, if something goes wrong there is one less person at the table.

Was it being operated when it fell? Someone got hurt?

Ive had to lift these into an open hole in the side of a high rise from the 3rd to the 23 floors with my crane

Great Job Just Wondering Couldn't You Have Just Boomed Over Instead Of Going All The Way Up . BE Safe. 🐬🐬🐬🐬🚧🚧🚧

No because at 20 degrees or less extended all the way out 1150 rotators can only lift 17 to 20k. The load was 20k plus whatever weight the branches and rocks and such added to the load when dragging the lift up the side of the hill. Once they got it close enough to be able to boom up to 30 degrees it was an easy lift for that rotator

If it were me, I’d use one of the winches on one of the tow trucks or even the rotator and winch myself up and down that steep of a hill.

Why didt you try starting it and drive it up the hill after it was upright? I didnt see anyone try to drive it it out.

Whoever rented this is not getting their deposit back 😂

As many know towers operate in strange and sometimes scary situations. What many don’t see her is there are many things we have done knowing people would be in harms way to get this job done efficiently. The unit weighs 19,600lbs. We used 4 chains with a working load limit of 15,000 each. Therefore if any chain broke the others would be more than enough to hold the load. Also the lower winch lines did a few things for us. Not only did they take load off of the tip of the boom, but I used them to keep the machine in contact with the ground until it was at the top of the hill. Doing this would give individuals at the bottom of the hill time to react as the additional lines would slow down the fall. vs the small reaction time needed if it were to free fall. There are only a few times I was unhappy about individuals placement and that was when we had it vertically lifted and began to rotate. Next time we will run multiple tag lines to keep people back. Thank you for your question

Hello, not sure what you are implying, but our total time on scene was 2 hrs. That includes the survey, rigging, lift, and securing the unit to the trailer. The problem with rushing during a lift is you can shock load your equipment. I have learned over the years that slow is smooth and smooth is efficient, and safest.

@@michaelseverson9809 Certainly not an expert but it seemed that you kept saying that the operator could go ahead and lift the machine while he kept inching it up ever sooooo slowly. Just wondered if keeping a load suspended for a long time was more dangerous than getting it up and on the ground.

@@doak4886 I am the one that operates the rotator, the reason it was inched and we added the last line was to move it up the hill with 2 of the tires grounded until it was in a position to vertically pick. The bad part of the video is you can’t see that the unit was to far away to just go vertical. If we could have just went vertical I it would have been a steady move until I could rotate. Being it was far away we had ground resistance to deal with while we were on a softer surface we could have easily overloaded the boom or even moved the truck. I talk in the video about the truck moving, it actually moved the rear of the truck 3 inches. That was long but I hope it makes sense. Thank you for taking time to talk here, I enjoy listening and even learning from our followers.

I have run an 1150 for 6 years now theyre amazing machines

At 39:00 the treadmill jogger is in the exact wrong place with his tag line. One should never be where the load can go. Down hill and underneath is never right. So the tag is tied too short and by the way you are dragging it uphill on the wrong end. Now all he needs to do is wrap the line around his hand a couple of times and stand in the pile of line when he get's some.
