The Boss Died

It’s common to remove the cars after a wreck if they can get them out.

The problem with doing this type of recovery with a rotator is the winch cable is two short.

Since they are only carrying one extension, one chain and one harness it looks like they don’t do this that often.

The reality is you need about 500 feet of cable for some of these recoveries.

Around here, just about 25 miles from downtown LA, the trucks that do this type of recovery are properly equipped.

Nice job but wouldn't a big 4 axle hydraulic crane be a better choice for a job like that???  looking at the angle of that cable, they sure did have a lot of resistance going up the slope.  I recognize the capability in terms of pounds drops off big time as the  radius is increased but still I would think a big  stick hydraulic crane would have an edge.  No clue-just asking.

I sure hope they aren't paying that asshole by the hour to recover that car.
