If you've been on the internet these past few days, you might've seen an underwater Ford Bronco. That thing was very stuck in a bay in Maine; so much so that it couldn't be pulled out with a pair of trucks and their trusty tow straps. I spoke with Les Foss at Island Towing, who was on-site for the job, and as you're getting ready to find out, it was far from easy. But around 5 p.m. on Monday, they finally got it. It involved a diver that was contacted by the Department of Environmental Protection who then reached out to Foss. They agreed that inflating a bunch of airbags underneath the Bronco was the best way to get it out, so that's exactly what …

I am looking for some input on how effective a set of air mats would be to lift a loaded detachable trailer about 10", weighing about 55,000 lbs loaded. I move rail cars. All weekend long I have been researching the different mfgers of heavy lifting air mats that would suit my particular needs. I've zero'd in on a particular system that I think would work well for me, being a set of 8 bar, 23.2 ton capacity, 11.8" lift height mats with a dual controller. One under each side of this detachable trailer deck prior to loading, then once loaded and secured...inflate the bags to acquire the proper height so it isn't so brutal reattaching the mechanical detachable go…

Topic Originally Created on Tow411 in June of 2007: 6-26-07 Received a call from one of our customers to respond to Metro Ford in Raynham for their CAT paver that the track came off and was particially in the roadway. Apparantly, the operator needed to turn around in order to make another pass so decided to use the roadway. We responded with our NRC rotator to lift the paver from the roadway and put it onto our Landoll trailer then hauled it to our Freetown location. We needed to use a cut off saw in order to free the bound up track. The next day, the customer came with certified funds so we offloaded the paver from our Landoll and placed it on one…

Topic Originally Create by Max King in October of 2006: Had this one yesterday afternoon. After they put it in the ditch they tried to pull it out with a grader but could not get the roller out of the ditch. Did not have a lot of room to work with the narrow road. I used tree for a dead man, thought I might have trouble setting with the new gravel on the road. It come out real nice and everbody was happy. They did not have any idea what it weighed but getting the roller and the frame work out of the ditch took a little tug. Bruce KW5030 said: Nicely done Th…

This Topic was created by Owl Wrecker in July of 2009: A fertilizer spreader that was really stuck in the mud, just NE of Minot. With the soil being so saturated, it was impossible to get a heavy duty enough wrecker close enough to winch out the spreader. The winch box attachment for the skid steer was a great success to this recovery.
