Twin Prop Tator

[Music] hello ladies and gentlemen and as always thank you for watching today we've been called by a customer that has requested that we pick up some large propellers off of a trailer that were transporting the propellers and apparently a wheel bearing went out on the trailer and they tried to pull over and the trailer is stuck they're going to send another trailer so that they can get the propellers delivered not sure what they're going to do with the trailer afterwards but that's they called us to transport the prefer sorry transfer the propellers from one trailer to another this will actually be the worst job for our new traffic control / support vehicle [Music] I haven't shown a lot of it on Oh social media of any kind yet we're still in the process of setting it up but it is to the point where we can use it now we are going to be an Illinois so we can only use our average we had to change the patterns on the arrow boards to ember hallway we can only use the amber lights when we're an Illinois cannot use red and blue so anyway we're going to head over there hopefully the traffic control vehicle will be able to keep people off of us on this two-lane highway we may end up call the police department for resistance but we'll assess the situation go from there all right we should be getting really close just up around this curve so be the junction of new route 3 and old route 3 which is supposedly where he is to be like I said we're in Illinois so we are not allowed to run anything but our amber lights there is pull off on the shoulder here like look and see what we got girl connect surrounded awfully soft all right see what we got [Music] morning sir lace you're not on this road tires were at Nick's driveway down there on the left okay when they blow it up and welcome back up and I drug you don't have a beard to get it all through you both of them going on the same on the back axle mister just on this side okay folks all good okay all right but when the wheel come off it took the cap off because we're in a stop all the oil was still right and then what's behind there's a little bit on the wheel but they wasn't that much down here in the road right right and I stopped down here and then he'll be here shortly okay I told him to pull up just past the intersection get on that side so you can set up here and then he can back it alongside you yeah I think if I cuz he'll have wrecks on his trailer the pass-through side so when you pick them up and just turning around instead of okay so I can't go further out so well I could I could move you if we need it to all right so those they just pinned down this blade and skip board and then get that blade yep and then we have to come over this way a little bit to get them up off strike right yep get out now he's already been refurbished okay so we can wait to be worked on we could use chain or we could use straps either way then wouldn't hurt Jane wouldn't hurt him then oh okay good deal yeah yeah yeah yeah we've got half the inches these way the lady said around seven thousand so yeah that won't be any these don't have weight oh so I couldn't give the weight but then she also told you today's 102 320 that's fine but well we thought we were going to have to shut part of the road down I hope we don't yeah but let's try not to do that okay Mike I guess go ahead and you get set up closed up down that let's set the truck up set the signs and everything down there and just shut that down and then come up here and you can help me with the rigging and stuff what I'll do is I will swing wide and I'll wiggle around here but I'll get nosed in the same direction he is that way I can reach out and I'm not working over my nose yeah I can pick these up and swing them around and set him on his trailer and maybe give him enough room to where he can get off the main road too and not not walking it but let's let's go ahead and get yeah well the good thing with that the primary driver and he only Baker good joy well the good thing with that truck is we've got a lot of extension we've got travel on the boom there he is and it's it's not that difficult okay go ahead yeah that's a rotator it's easy too easy to manipulate oh really okay no problem yes sir let me get set up well I may be set up before he gets here even yeah it won't happen here it bravery of attorney that and so they got old on it me on that because it took a devil [Applause] [Applause] [Music] try to get lined up with his trailer but stay off the road all right [Applause] I'm gonna leave these for now until he get I'm gonna get myself set up [Applause] yes gotcha [Applause] [Applause] do what sir use only combing over oh that's all right Lauren and sir I'm Ron Jeff nice to meet you yes sir she's on better terms me too that's all right well we'll get you taken care of this nobody was hurt that's the main thing Tartaros big tire didn't hit anybody so I'm sure it was a little bit scary for him I don't need to take them all the way out because we're not dealing with that heavy of the way [Applause] [Applause] probably grab that back one first just get it out of the way [Music] [Applause] I've got my own chains if you'd rather me use mine my rigging that whatever y'all want to do guys if you guys got it go ahead I mean I that's fine [Music] David sit this one out here on the ground no I'll pick it up and then we'll pull you into position over here on the other side on me and I'll I'll pull it in close to me so I don't swing it out in traffic much I hate to take it over my cab but if we have to we will you know whatever whatever see if you thought you could stick this one on the ground and then get that second one pick it up that he'll let him pull out why not pull right here whatever is easiest I can do that I'm just uh I'm in the road I'm open if you want to do that well once I set it down I can pull my outriggers in it's not that heavy I can actually move over if you want to do that plan let me scoot over and I'll I'll stick my outriggers out a little bit farther and we'll just go that way I'm I'm good with that well even if you do get off a little bit not like I don't have enough gain enough to pull yeah okay well we'll just go like we are then ah well he's doing most rigging as a bad you can just leave that now we'll just don't use the one well I think that's what he's got in mind up there just use one strat or one point hook yeah do what [Applause] let me get it level [Music] yeah it's not gonna work do what my right now for right now you can let one lane go I wasn't sure how you're gonna do ok-hee he's at a beach in cattle country and working on the road Glaucus man but I got I got the sign blocking the road Engel yeah yeah which watch
