It’s not always about going out into the raging storm to rescue or tow a disabled or rolled rig. Sometimes we have events that involve our great fleet of tow trucks and support vehicles.
Our latest photo session brought our whole team and fleet together to create a great new banner image for our website.

When ever something is being towed there is always the chance of the load shifting. Even taking a corner just a bit too fast can cause a trailer to capsize. This driver took a corner too tight and fast and caused the trailer to become unhooked. The result was almost disastrous. Fortunately the Audi SUV it was carrying did not leave the deck and Big Rig Towing used their rotator and spreader bar to to roll the trailer and vehicle back on is rubber.

It’s not always about how far in the ditch the rig is that makes a recovery hard, sometimes it’s the load.
This load of lumber when into the ditch during Calgary’s recent late summer snow storms with 80000 lbs on board.
Big Rig Towing spent the best part of the afternoon unloading and hauling the cargo before they could get the rig out of the mud and back on dry pavement.

According to Wikipedia towing is the process of coupling one object to another’s, so that one can be pulled along behind the other. The towing source (lead object) is usually a truck or other motorized land vehicle. The coupling may consist of a chain, rope, bar, integrated platform, or some other means of keeping the two objects together while in motion.
So, that being said, not just cars and trucks can be towed but almost anything that will move can be towed.
Just remember that not all vehicles are made to tow and the safety considerations of properly towing another vehicle or object cannot be understated.
When in doubt, hire a professional.
Big Rig Towing.
Not all towing is confined to broken down or rolled rigs. Sometimes heavy equipment has been damaged and needs the towing power of a big diesel to move it.
Last year’s floods in Calgary not only caused millions of dollars in personal and commercial damage but many vehicles were destroyed as well.
Some of these machines are still in need of rescue and transport a year later.
This earth mover was caught by rising water and suffered catastrophic engine damage.
There is only one way to move something this big.
Big Rig Towing brought in the heavy crane and got it safely stored on this trailer for transport.

Literally, the hardest thing for any rig operator is to keep the truck on the road once the center of balance gets the least bit off.
This rig carrying a load of rocks got off the pavement just enough to send it into the ditch.
That’s a heavy cleanup and a hard rock way to end the day.

Mechanical break downs are inevitable. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, rich or poor.
Even if you only have one name, like Cher, a mechanical break down with your vehicle can leave you and you band stranded.
Lucky for Cher Big Rig Towing was handy with the tilt deck to get her to the concert on time.
Your welcome thousands of fans.
