Double Decker Burn Out

Big Rig Towing Double Decker Burn OutThis double decker city bus had an engine fire that rendered it unusable. The bus was initially towed back to the contractor’s yard.  Big Rig Collision in Calgary was contracted to do the repair work and they hired us to bring it back. The rear tires were burned off and the air system was completely distroyed so the bus had to be flat towed from Sherwood Park to Calgary. The journey was made even longer as bridge heights in Edmonton made the cross city drive a nine hour adventure.

Rollin Out The Feedbags

Feed truck roll overNo matter what your hauling when it’s over it’s over. This rig hauling feed took a turn just a bit to fast and ended up on it’s side.
The crew at Big Rig Towing did double shift to clear the feed from the trailer so they could get it back on its feet.

Grain Dust Can Explode

saving the grain big rig towingIt’s a well-known fact that grain dust can explode. That’s why you have to be extremely careful when transporting and transferring any grain from one place to another.

This truck was loaded with grain when it went off the road and got stuck. Its contents had to be transferred to another truck before it could be towed out of the ditch.

You can see by the cloud of grain dust that Big Rig Towing had to be very careful with this tow and recovery.

Towing Your Home

Class A TowingWhen your house is on wheels and your house breaks down, you want to make sure you get someone who has towed a house before. These days’ big Class A Motor Homes are like houses so if you have a problem you want to be sure you get the right person for the job.

Fortunately Big Rig Towing has had lots of practice at towing this size of Motor Home. Last year we even helped Cher when her tour bus broke down in Calgary.

Leave it to us when you have a big home rescue problem.

A Bridge to Low

This happens more often than you would think.

This Truck with a full load of tires just didn’t make the height requirement needed to successfully get under this bridge. Not to mention it was a single lane bridge.

Traffic was held up for a while but Big Rig Towing pulled it free and towed it back to it’s yard for repair.

Spring Forward

With recent warming of the weather we quickly forget how bitterly cold, snowy and windy it was this year.

The severity of the weather across Canada resulted in thousands of traffic accidents and hundreds of thousands of dollars in insurance claims and damages.

Here is a brief recap of some the rig recoveries we made at Big Rig Towing this year.

Gas Leak

The weight of an explosive does not directly correlate with the energy or destructive impact of an explosion, it can depend upon many other factors such as containment, proximity, preheating, purity and external oxygenation (in the case of gas leaks and BLEVEs).

BLEVE is an acronym for Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion.

In the case of this super b full of propane that would not be a good thing, even if the rig is miles from any inhabited area.

This roll over near Rimby took Big Rig Towing an entire day to offload its cargo of propane before it was safe to right the rig and get it back on the road.
