"Huge Steel Coil Breaks Trailer in Half 44000lb Steel Coil Broke This Trailer While Driving Thank goodness there were no injuries as these massive huge steel coils are no joke. If the chains were to snap momentum would take this until it caused catastrophic damage. I've seen similar jobs where the coils break free and land inside the tractor itself Alex arrived on scene in Big Flipper our 75ton rotator to fix this mess. The company had a second trailer so the job was a straight lift and set. The rigging was a bit tricky since using chain could damage the coil itself. Not wanting to cause"

"Overloaded Trailer Falls Forward After Unhooking Semi What Happens When You Offload a Trailer AFTER Unhooking Semi. You would figure something like this is common sense right Unloading a trailer unattached the weight obviously gets lighter in the rear as you start to offload. You get to a point where you have all the weight up front on just the nose past the landing gear. Apparently this isn't obvious to some people as this happens quite often. This job was dispatched to Alex in Big Flipper who decided to utilize dual spreader bars for maximum control. A bit of trial and error with a quick"

We received a [--] rotator request for a box truck that landed on a car and expected the worst. We arrived and it was just a small box truck with the rear on the hood of a Toyota. Being such an easy job I suggested to Alex to use the "spike" method where you use a low line to pull it back over. Of course we still used catch lines for full control and safety. But the best part was while we were rigging I spotted a tow bandit. You can just"

While super easy compared to the crazy stuff we do it's still important to do everything the right way. Sometimes you can just winch these forward or backward with a regular truck and we often do. In this case there was no way to get in front of it as there was no access around to backup to the cab. If we winched it straight back with how stuck it was you have a high risk of damaging the lift gate."

Next was remove the bumper so he can start the recovery tow process by chain slinging it. The issue was the chassis"

He actually is a fan of my channel and mentioned he was watching the last tanker job I posted a couple months back Always happy to see these drivers well and in good spirits. This job was called in by Omar at Titan Tow and when it originally came in the log said it was overturned and on top of a truck. Neither of those were true but we still made very very short work of this job. Without having to move the trucks once we were able to winch and lift"

Like Alex says in the video the drivers back up to the loading dock while empty then get loaded with literal tons of money and coins. As they leave and exit the driveway exiting the Federal Reserve the now loaded trailer bottoms out and gets stuck. Sometimes they just need a tug and we can winch them out. In this case that would do tons of damage to the landing gear possibly bending them or breaking them. Alex made the call to use the boom with a spreader"

This was a rush job which is why it's so crazy short. The job itself was just minutes and the other half was taking reports and talking logistics. First plan was to lift the chassis and put it on the tractor but decided to use the Vulcan wrecker to pull it to the safety when the company said their other tractor was still in traffic. After we pulled to the shoulder the cops were able to finish their investigation"

But this is a first; being put out for literally [--] inches. This company called us and told us that this poor driver had been there since the night before. The original tow truck company they called showed up struggled then left after he couldn't do it. Not sure what method they used but we sent Alex in Big Flipper our 75ton rotator. These are very unusual lifts so Alex decided to play it super safe by using dual"

""Simple" Container Transport Turns Into a Nightmare "Simple" Container Transport Turns Into a Tricky Job. "If it was easy someone else would be doing it" is our motto. What was originally a simple lift turned into a multi-part job to get this container loaded. For starters the trailer would not be able to back into this yard and the container was in a parking lot. This wouldn't be too bad but at the exit there was telephone poles and wires up ahead. This meant Alex couldn't just back up all the way lift it high and extend out to get it flush. Instead he went under the lines forcing him to get"

"Toyota Camry's Terrifying Crash Landing: Driver's Miraculous Survival Toyota Camry Crash Lands in Ditch (Driver Survives) - It's been a while since I've done a car fishing job with Hulk my 50ton rotator.

"Stolen Buick Destroyed and Dumped 300' Down Mountainside Stolen Buick Destroyed and Dumped 300' Down Mountainside We do tons of car fishing but this might be a first Sure vehicles get stolen and dumped. But to go through the trouble of taking off all the VIN plates From the dash door and frame these guys thought of everything but one: the dash Sucks for us because that usually means no insurance or way to pay so we did get stuck with this one. But as always when CHP calls we are ready to respond regardless. Unfortunately tons of companies like to pick and choose their calls which is why we"

"Box Truck Full of Tires Flips Over on Freeway Box Truck Full of Tires Flips Over on Freeway. Poor truck just wanted to take a little nap on the freeway. This job originally got called in as a big rig so I dispatched myself in Hulk my 50ton rotator. I was joined by Ricardo in our heavy wrecker to assist. Upon arrival I saw it was just a box truck but fully loaded with tires. These live loads on box trucks or even trailers are always tricky because of the integrity of the walls. As you'll see here the harsh impact and collision with the center divider ripped open the front. I had Ricardo"
