Swing Wide, It's a F***** Trailer!. This is where the saying SWING WIDE IT'S A F**** TRAILER comes from! Not sure exactly how it happened but this driver made a catastrophic mistake and got caught on a concrete pole while entering a yard. Alex was dispatched in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator, to handle this job.

The video is not long because he did this job so quick. While it looks crazy, the process is super simple for an easy "pick and swing". Using Bailey's slings, he went behind the DOT bumper for a direct vertical lift. Once he was clear from the pole, the trailer was lifted then swung so it can be set back down free and clear from the pole.

Even when you factor in setting up the truck and putting the truck away, including the outriggers, rigging and the boom/cables, he was only on scene for maybe 25 minutes. That is FAST but when you do this for a living, you know how to safely clear a scene fast and safe. Luckily the trailer wall didn't tear open or the axles get shifted which can happen during these types of accidents. The driver's air lines were still intact so after he was freed from the pole he was able to drive away from the entrance and wait for repair service.

How did Alex do on this one?
