Lifting tons of...GRASS? Overloaded trailer at the scales

Lifting tons of....grass? Overloaded trailer at the scales - Safe to say this might be a first for us at Pepe's Tow. We've lifted everything and anything day in day out, but I've never lifted grass. At least this was rolled up and sort of easy due to the light weight, it still is an interesting job showing how exactly it was done.

The poor driver wasn't even at fault; these Carson scales are notorious for being strict. The driver stated he measured at legal weight the day before, and that night just happened to be a SoCal freak rain storm. During this heavy rain, the rolls of grass absorbed all the water which put him just over weight; what bad luck right?

That's where we got the call to come over and lift a couple rolls onto a second lighter trailer. Many towers don't accept calls at the scales for fear of getting red tagged or inspected themselves, but all our trucks stay scale ready and permitted 24/7/365. Once Alex showed up in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator, he immediately got his game plan going and went to town.

These obviously don't have lift points so you have to really be mindful of the load. Alex used a wide body foundry hook to get a bit of lift, then secured each end with a synthetic strap from Bailey's Tow Accessories. From there was as easy as taking candy from a green baby.

New trailer showed up just in time, then the two rolls were transferred and boom goes the dynamite, job well done and everyone happy! Hope you guys enjoyed this quick and easy job!
