Trip down memory lane

A number of years back Big Rig was called out to a job to rescue a precarious tanker full of volatile flammable liquids. It was a joint, coordinated, and successful, rescue operation by Big Rig Towing, The Fire Department and City Police.

Anywhere, anytime, Big Rig Towing & Recovery is available to service all of your heavy duty towing and recovery requirements. If you find yourself in a disabled, precarious, or emergency situation call Big Rig toll free at 1 (866) 398-7444.

Have you double checked to see if your load’s secure?

The danger in trucking isn’t always with poor road conditions or weather. It can be as simple as just not tying down your load properly.

How many times have you seen a big truck with an even bigger load trying to negotiate around a tight corner looking like it was going to topple over? Or a flat deck with a load wider than the deck and not looking like it was centered? You can tie it down but if it’s not in the right place to begin with you’re going to have issues.

Big Rig Towing lifted this heavy 65,000 pound steel coil from it’s deck after it shifted during transport. Not an easy task to pick it up and transfer it to another trailer, but having state-of-the-art equipment makes a huge difference.

So why risk it? Know which tie-downs to use and how to safely strap down your load so it does not shift or affect your centre of balance.

In the event this happens to you Big Rig is here to help. Just call toll free 1 (866) 398-7444 for 24/7 service.

Never good when fire breaks out

It’s never good when a fire breaks out on the ramp of a car carrier transport. In this case, the fire inexplicably burned through half the trailer before it could be contained. Whatever the cause the best case scenario is that no one gets hurt.

Fortunately we have some of the most specialized, modern, state-of-the-art equipment in our fleet and had just the right solution with one of our fully equipped recovery units. Using our 75-ton rotator and by attaching a heavy-duty sling to the vehicle, with a few safety adjustments Big Rig Towing made short work of lifting the disabled trailer and its cargo on to a flatbed for transport.

Big Rig Towing & Recovery works with highly qualified and certified technicians and are reliable and experienced. We can be reached toll free at 1 (866) 398-7444. We’re available 24/7 for all your heavy duty towing and recovery requirements.

Meantime…be safe.

An expert 75-ton rotator operator can make all the difference

A tow truck rotator is essentially a big crane mounted to the deck of the tow truck. It can be used for everything from:

  • lifting heavy machinery that has tumbled from the back of a rig
  • lifting a load that has flipped over
  • removing a load from a rig that needs less weight so it can be towed
  • lifting heavy equipment from one place to another
  • assisting in transferring cargo from one rig to another
  • And so much more…

Big Rig Towing has a number of rotator tow trucks and can boast that they have the only 75-ton rotator in southern Alberta. An expert rotator operator can make all the difference in getting your towing situation resolved quickly and safely.

We pull our fair share of hapless rigs and heavy equipment from any number of situations.

Contact Big Rig at 1 (866) 398-7444 for IMMEDIATE 24/7 service if you find yourself in an emergency roadside predicament.
