Disaster Avoided - Container Almost Flips During Recovery on Freeway!

Disaster Avoided - Container Almost Flips During Recovery on Freeway! - This job was INTENSE! I obviously was not present during this job, which Alex and my dad worked together. It originally came in as a rollover in the day, but when we arrived, CHP told us they were going to let a private company handle it instead. Well they got it upright, but left it leaning bad and told the customer that's all they can do. We ended up being called back by CHP to fix this.

Their first step was to secure the container so it wouldn't flip over. They tried to do this without blocking any lanes to keep traffic flowing freely while they worked this off to the side. Once it was time to take the container off the chassis, the weight from the shift combined with the steepness of the onramp pulled the turret on my dad's rotator. Luckily he had lightning quick reflexes and physically held the lever, then released pressure by dropping down with the boom so it rests on the corner of the chassis. This is dangerous work and just goes to show you even veterans in the industry and run into situations like this.

I'm just glad no damage was done and nobody got hurt. They made the call to bring in my truck, Hulk, to help get the container off and on the ground. From here, they successfully counter leaned it, then safely put it on the Landoll for transport.
