  • Too Fast? Container Rollover Recovery With Rotators. The ports seem to always keep us busy and this day was no exception. My guess is speed contributed to this container rollover, but luckily we were called to get this upright quick and tow it out of the way to open traffic.
    Alex first used Big Flipper, a 75ton rotator, to lift and scoot the container over so I can pass through in Hulk, my 50ton rotator. From here, we both rigged to the container while Hector used the equalizing sling method on the tractor. The first lift felt immediately off as the tractor stayed on the ground while we were winching in on the container. We dropped it and I already knew it would be the front container locks, which we fixed.
    Then when we went in again, the upright was as smooth as ever. Having both rotators attached to the container allowed us to not only upright it, but push it away from the concrete barrier as it came over. The end result was the container being safely in the middle and ready to tow out by Hector in our 50ton Vulcan wrecker.

    They should develop an electronic sign which displays in big letters: "Container Rollovers Since (date)" and have a a large sized number display with the rollover count.
    For extra brownie points, the number should start intermittently flickering to the next number and back in very vibrant colours if it detects a container or large truck approaching at excessive speed. Sort of a subtle as a train wreck "Will you be the next next one?" scare them straight message. Even better if it also displays a rough financial value of cargo and vehicular losses incurred by the unlucky drivers.

    I don't have the technical words, but I like how there is no bouncing when the vehicle is flipped. You just pick it up, turn it over and put it down safely and gently. It's an art-form!

      You can see it anytime before that where the camera is turned the right direction. Sitting at first, moves a bit about 6:15, then starts moving for real at 8:20.

    I don't know what was in that container, but the round pockmarks imprinted onto the roof are quite something.
    I don't know that we've ever seen impact/witness marks like that before.
    Lots of tires popped on this one, in addition to the tractor there was a visibly dented rim and popped tire on the trailer.

      It just doesn’t make sense. For that price I can get two new 50tons which would be 10000% more valuable. Then there’s California weight limits. We couldn’t drive it anywhere. Just doesn’t make sense for my company
