50,000lbs of Pipes Rollover What an Accident! Back again with another wild rollover with my buddy Omar at Titan Tow. He got this job down at the ports and called me for help, so I responded with Hulk, my 50ton rotator. These jobs are always a nightmare only because the load is so unstable. Containers are the easiest thing to upright in my book, and even trailers can be brought up with ease with some classic finesse. A flatbed trailer though with an open load of pipes, held together by straps, is incredibly difficult.

In hindsight, it just might have been easier to cut the straps and start from the scratch. This option though is always my absolute last resort, and I would not be a good operator if I didn't try all other methods first. You also risk a ton of damage, such as the pipes bouncing into that street light. Imagine if the force of cutting the straps knocked it over? Yikes!

After a few different attempts, we finally got the rigging just right to get this monster upright. Unfortunately the roll messed everything up, so even though we got it upright, the shift made it impossible to transport. That's why we brought in my dad with a Landoll to transfer some of the load, then correct the trailer so my tractor can tow that too safely.

All in all a very tough and stressful job, but all the teamwork made it fun and worthwhile at the end when we all left. Thanks again Omar for the call! What did you guys all think of this tough one?
