Sometimes you just gotta be lucky. This rig used up lottery luck when it ended up hanging from an overpass near Lake Louise.

Fortunately no one was injured and flying debris from the trailer missed a passing freight train.

Big Rig Towing was called to the scene and was able to haul the damaged rig, using it’s seventy five ton rotator, back onto the highway so it could be loaded onto a flat deck and taken back to Calgary.

Fire in The Hole

It’s never good when a fire breaks out in your trailer. What ever the cause the best case scenario is that no one gets hurt.

The fire in this trailer totally devastated it’s cargo and destroyed the trailer itself. Actually burning through the side before it could be contained.

This is when you really need a 75-Ton Rotator to get the job done.

Big Rig Towing made short work of lifting the disabled trailer and getting it on to a flatbed for transport.

Give us a call to find what other heavy lifting jobs Big Rig Towing can accomplish with this equipment.

Against The Grain

This is not the way to off load grain. Big Rig Towing was called out to separate these tow trucks and handle the clean up of a significant amount of grain spilled in the right hand lane of the highway.

Big Rig Towing is constantly honing their clean up skills and can handle dangerous goods as well as the occasional grain spill.

Eggs Over Easy

You know the old saying, you can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs? Well these guys took it just a bit too far. This rig got just enough of the road to cause it to flip spilling thousands of eggs onto the road side. It’s an easy breakfast day for the local wild life.

Big Rig Towing got the call to help get the rig back on its feet but all the kings horses couldn’t keep the cargo from being spoiled.

  

 

Pick Em Up, Put Em Down

When you have a 75 ton rotator you can pick up just about anything. Still, it takes an expert to do the job right.

Murphy’s Law

Murphy’s Law: What can go wrong will go wrong.

Just because it says towing in the company name doesn’t mean that’s all we do. Sometimes you have to think out side the box. When this vehicle transport trailer decided to come unhinged we had to rig a sling and use the heavy rotator to move the top vehicle out of the way so the damaged rover could be removed.

Give us a call if you have a heavy lifting dilemma. We can help.

Vulcan Heavy Recovery Mission

No, the Big Rig Towing crew did not just hop some intergalactic flight to tow an Andromeda class star ship off some rocky outcropping on the mysterious planet Vulcan.

In reality they were in the small town of Vulcan, Alberta assisting the local fire department with heavy recovery exercises.

This is an ongoing training program that not only keeps the crews at Big Rig practiced up for those occasions when heavy lifting is required but it also performs a community service for fire departments around Alberta.
