Heavy Lifting on a Tight Road
A tractor-trailer loaded with engineered trusses got stuck on a tight curve on NE Mountain Home Road in Sherwood. This road wasn’t designed for vehicles as long as a semi-truck and trailer, causing the truck to become immobilized. We received a direct call for towing assistance from the company, and it was clear that this Sherwood tractor-trailer recovery would require careful planning and execution.
Tackling a Two-Part Challenge
We knew immediately this would be a two-part job requiring careful precision. The first challenge was getting the trailer back on the road. The trailer was leaning precariously over the edge of the embankment, creating a risky situation. We had to lift the trailer from the back to bring it upright and then set it straight down on the road. All without causing any additional damage.
Equipment Used
For this Sherwood tractor-trailer recovery, we deployed our Heavy Wrecker 220. This powerful machine was essential for lifting the heavy load and setting it back safely on the road. The trailer carried approximately 70-80K pounds of engineered trusses. It needed the strength and precision that our Heavy Wrecker 220 could provide.
Tenny to the Rescue!
We sent one of our expert operators, Tenny, who handled the entire Sherwood tractor-trailer recovery process from start to finish. With years of experience, Tenny expertly managed the situation. He secured the trailer, lifted it without any damage, and completed the job.
Lift and Set
The first step was to lift the trailer from the back, bring it upright, and set it back on the road. This delicate maneuver required precision and expertise. Once the trailer was back on solid ground, Tenny had to address the second challenge: getting the truck and trailer out of the narrow road.
Backing Out
The road was too narrow for the truck to move forward, so the only option was to back out. This part of the job involved guiding the driver to back out the truck and trailer, navigating traffic, and managing the hills. Tenny backed our equipment in to get to the truck, then walked alongside to guide them. This process ensured that the truck and trailer were maneuvered safely and efficiently.
Efficient Recovery with Minimal Downtime
The entire operation took about an hour on the scene, with additional time spent traveling to and from the shop. Despite the complexity of the situation, there was luckily no damage to the vehicle. The driver was able to continue along to his destination without needing further repairs. This is not always the case after a complicated recovery mission!
