Stolen telehandler SMASHED by train! Alex and Josh back at it again with another insane recovery. Received this call from our buddy Rolando to respond to a pretty crazy job. I was told someone stole this telehandler and somehow managed to get hit by a train. Don't think the driver was caught, but man the damage was done.

As you'll see in the video, every single part of this poor truck was impacted. The cab was crushed, the rear axle snapped like a tooth pic, axles messed up, everything. Wasn't too sure how we would be able to access this job or how bad the unit would be, so Alex and I responded in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator, and myself in Hulk, my 50ton rotator.

As bad as the description was, the job was actually a lot easier than I thought. For starters, Hulk wasn't really needed until the end for a small part. There was an excavator on site who provided us with some help with the tires. We were also able to back up parallel to the unit and using Big Flippers brute strength, lift and swing this unit to the street to be set directly on a Landoll.

This poor telehandler was damaged in every way possible. From the wheels, to the axles, the cab to the boom, it's ALL BAD as Joe would say. My guess is it goes straight to scrap, but who knows?

The damage isn't on par with the tow truck video I posted last week, but it's up there. What do you guys think? And if you REALLY want to support your favorite tow channel, become a member here:    / @pepestowingservice
