School Test

When a school needs new portables to accommodate its students, that’s a good thing. It means that more kids are getting an education and the classroom space they need to do that is being made available.

The logistics of moving a 55ft long 25ft wide 4,000 lb portable classroom into its place in a schoolyard takes a lot more math and science than one would think. It takes some pretty heavy machinery and those with the skill to operate that machinery to get the job done right.

Big Rig Towing doesn’t just tow and rescue big trucks and trailers. Our rigs have hundreds of applications and can sometimes get to and do things that cranes and cherry pickers can’t. Like these portable classrooms going into a schoolyard in Calgary.

Easy Does It

Once in a while it’s easy.

Somehow this truck got turned over in the process of dumping its load of sand. One of the few times where all that was required was to right it and tow it back to the yard.

Just goes to show you though, if you’re not confident in how your truck is positioned or how your load is positioned, then you should always drive away and reset. Better to take a little more time to unload than a lot of time explaining how your truck turned over.

Roller Rollover

It just doesn’t matter. If you’re big and heavy and you roll over, you need something bigger and heavier to get you back on your feet.

40,000 pounds is big but surprisingly it only takes a few degrees off center and even something this big can roll.

As you can see it took a couple of Big Rig Tow trucks and their cranes to upright and get this roller onto a flat bed.
