70,000lb Battery Destroys YouTuber's Trailer!

70,000lb Battery Destroys YouTuber's Trailer! It's not often, if ever, we get a job where the customer has a larger YouTube following than I do! He's not as active, but still his subscriber count is quite impressive. His channel is here if you're curious: https://www.youtube.com/@ikikardesh/videos

Back the job, this was called in the night before as you see in the beginning of the video. CHP made the call to not allow us to do the job at night, and instead told us to come back the following morning. The reasoning makes sense: traffic was too fast at night and it would be easier to work in the rush hour morning traffic. Alex responded in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator and Dave assisted in his 40ton rotator.

These lithium batteries are NO JOKE! We do these soo much for various accounts, and the weight is incredibly deceptive. They use these to power casinos, hospitals, events, all kinds of uses. Luckily they look just like a standard container and have the same lift points, which we are experts in. The length of this was short which means the weight was super concentrated. Alex made the call to back up to Dave's truck, since he knew he would be lifting off the corner and he is much stronger off the back corner compared to the front corner.

You'll see in the video how this super heavy battery absolutely destroyed the poor trailer. Welds broke, bolts were sheared, it's pretty much done for. In hindsight, this should have been transported on a lowbed or 3 axle trailer to better handle the concentrated weight. All in all a fun job with a super cool customer that had a great attitude despite having to spend the night in his truck on the freeway.
