Precarious Situation? Give Us a Call

At Big Rig Towing, we’re not just called out to highway accidents with wreckage and broken rigs needing to be uprighted or towed. Sometimes, it’s a large piece of heavy equipment that finds itself in trouble.

Operating heavy machinery in unfamiliar or rugged terrain always comes with risks. This overturned steel loader ended up in an out-of-the-way location, demonstrating that recoveries often involve more than just hooking up machinery; it’s about the logistics of lifting and stabilizing heavy equipment. With our 75-ton sliding rotator and a heavy-duty sling, combined with a few safety adjustments, we successfully resolved the issue and got the loader back on its feet and ready for work.

Big Rig Towing offers more than just towing services for distressed rigs and heavy equipment. We have built a solid reputation for heavy lifting and moving. If you find yourself in a disabled or precarious situation, give Big Rig Towing a shout. Reach us toll-free at 1 (866) 398-7444. Our 24/7 dispatch service is always ready to assist.

Heavy Equipment

Don’t Get Stranded

Being stranded on the side of the road can be extremely dangerous.

In the event of a breakdown, the stress can be overwhelming, especially on busy highways or in the dark of night. It’s crucial to seek safety by moving to an emergency lane or the hard shoulder. However, even these areas can be hazardous due to fast-moving traffic.

If you find yourself stranded, prioritize safety by pulling over as far to the right as possible. Staying inside your vehicle offers protection from potential collisions. In any breakdown scenario, vigilance is key. Remain in your vehicle and promptly call for towing assistance.

At Big Rig Towing, our team is highly skilled in traffic safety and recovery, ensuring the well-being of both our staff and customers during breakdown situations. We respond quickly to your location, providing towing and recovery services regardless of the weather or time of day.

For prompt assistance, call us toll-free at 1 (866) 398-7444. Stay safe and stay informed.

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.

 

 

When You Think You’ve Seen Everything

When this forklift decided to try and escape through the floor of this trailer Big Rig Towing was called to bring their 75 Ton Rotator to give it a lift. After making an adjustment to the roof of the trailer the Rotor made quick work of getting the forklift out and back to work.

Without them there would be no freedom

On Friday November 11, 2016 we pay tribute and remember those members
of the armed forces – some who selflessly sacrificed their own precious lives in the
line of duty — who have served their nation in war, in armed conflict, and in the
effort of sustaining world peace.

Past, present and future we salute those who have served and those who continue
to serve at home and overseas. Without them there would be no freedom.

Fire Fighter Training

Fire fighters don’t just show up with all the skills needed to engage in every situation. That’s because they don’t just fight fires. Firemen are called out to many different events like brush fires, structure fires, automobile accidents, life-threatening medical emergencies, non-life-threatening medical calls, false alarms and other hazardous situations. To be able to do this they have to have extensive training for all these emergencies.

One of the most stressful is automobile accidents that often involve victims trapped by crushed metal or other vehicles.

How do they prepare for this? Big Rig Towing lends a hand with the ongoing training of firemen and their own crews by helping to set up scenarios that accurately represent these types of accidents under controlled environments at one of the Calgary Fire Department’s training centers.
