Towing Team Tackles a 50,000-Pound Crisis
Last week, a routine day became an extraordinary challenge when our Highway 113 tractor-trailer towing team deployed to White Pine, Tennessee. We received a call about a tractor-trailer that had lost control while traveling down Highway 113. The vehicle, carrying a substantial weight of 50,000 pounds, had begun spinning out of control before sliding off the road, with a culvert wedging between its trailer spreads.
Moving the Tractor-Trailer
Dispatching our Miller 1150 50-ton rotator and Miller 5130 25-ton wrecker, our four tow truck operators arrived at the scene. After assessing the situation, our operators initiated the heavy-duty recovery by setting up the rotator in the middle of the road and positioning the 25-ton wrecker at an angle upfront.
To recover the semi-truck, we first leveled the back of the trailer and rotated it towards the road. Carefully, we set the trailer down on the road, maintaining pressure to keep it stable. Simultaneously, the 25-ton wrecker winched the tractor out of the ditch, coordinating with the rotator to ensure a smooth and controlled recovery.
A Swift and Successful Operation
Incredibly, the entire operation was completed in less than 45 minutes. What stood out was the absence of any damage to the vehicle. Remarkably, after the tractor-trailer was pulled out, it was operational and could drive off without additional towing or repairs.
