Got a call from our friends at Cantrell's Towing they had a rolled over Tractor and Trailer at I-80 and I-74 ramp with a loaded trailer full of frozen food.  They assessed  the situation and decided to call us to see if we could help them out by bringing our airbags and Rotators to upright the trailer with as little damage as possible and with out unloading.   Job went perfect!

Beautiful job!  I like seeing air cushions being used along side all those big trucks.

With all the heavy iron and rotators in today's fleets, I think air cushions are becoming a lost art form.

Once again Beautiful job!!
