Box Truck Almost FLIPS Over From Shifted Load!
Box Truck Almost FLIPS Over From Shifted Load! Imagine how much less content I would have if load shifts did not happen? They keep us BUSY! Whether they are overloaded, improperly strapped or caused by unsafe driving, seems like we are correcting these multiple times per week. My opinion is that most loads are not properly secured inside of these trucks.
If you have ever stepped inside a trailer or box truck, you'll notice most of them have an almost glossy like floor. When you put a wooden or plastic pallet on it, they can easily move around while in transit. That's why you use straps, wood or bags to brace these pallets to keep them from sliding. These drivers will take a corner too fast and if they aren't properly secured, that load will go to the side it's leaning on.
Unfortunately this can result in a huge rollover accident. If they are lucky like in this video, it's an easy fix. Sometimes a rotator is needed, others we can do it with just a forklift. In this case, Alex used Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator, to assist. Imagine if Alex didn't have the rotator physically holding up the leaning side. Now imagine using the electric pallet jack here to re-work the load. It's already leaning bad, and now you have all this movement and weight on the leaning side. That is exactly how you can tip it over.
The guys made very short work of this job, and got the driver fixed and on his way in no time. Remember folks, secure your loads!! What did you guys think of this load shift job?

FORE! Semi Driver Gets Stuck on Golf Course

FORE! Semi Driver Gets Stuck on Golf Course. Talk about a hole in one. This driver got himself stuck at a fancy club golf course, so we dispatched Alex in our 75ton rotator to handle the job. Navigating to this spot was not too bad, but the pressure was on as the course staff was trying to rush this guy out. We understand, as this is a distraction to the golfers, but the driver did not make thi...

MESSY Dump-Trailer Rolled Over at the Landfill. Can you smell this video? Poor Alex, handling this call surrounded by garbage. We received this call from a customer to assist in a rollover at the local landfill, and Alex was dispatched in our 75ton rotator, Big Flipper. These end dump trailers are always a pain for a few reasons. One, the piston. They can bend, tweak, leak, etc. You have to com...

Insane Tractor-Trailer Rollover UNDER a Bridge! It's been a good while since we had such an incredibly difficult job like this.

Dump Truck Stuck in Muddy Disaster! Alex is back with another "easy" winch job for Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator. Just as some recent jobs, Alex decided to use the equalizing sling method using our famous Bailey's equalizing sling and a 15ton snatch block. The deep mud was no match for the brute strength of Big Flipper. This method is by far the best method for these jobs. A lot of people ask ...

Lifting 64,000lbs at the airport (full 360 8k)! It's been a while since I did a full 360 video, but with the X4 I'm hoping that it will look much better than we I had the GoPro MAX.

This job was at the naval base in Los Alimitos, and Alex was already in the area from a previous job so we dispatched him the call in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator.

    Is it possible this drive already knew the leaf spring on the driver side was broken and so compensated by placing the load on the passenger side hoping to be able to operate the truck still? He could practice a bit more on that pallet mover too. That was entertaining!
