Mixer about to go over

Received a call from a local conrete company stating that one of their mixers, loaded with approx. 8 yards in it, was leaning and about to roll over into a new foundation. The bank was breaking away and time was at an essence. We responded with our 60 ton rotator, backed up to the unit, two parted one wire rope to the back of the pull hook, and ran the second wire rope to a snatchblack from the right side of the wrecker and hooked the frame rail on the rear of the mixer. We then lifted the mixer straight up and using the second line, just creeped it over til the mixer was on solid ground.

Nice work guys.One question. If they were worried it would roll over why was that one guy still in the area where it looked like it would roll to? Maybe the angle is wrong just doesn't look like the place to be.emoticonconfused.gifGeorgeMoore's BP
We'll see you on down the road

George good question,that fellor was checking the line or string to see how much the bank moved the wall in.As the bank moved in so did the 2x4 that was holding the form.Also we normaly would lift the hood an strap the frame in back of the motor then lift the mixed but the ground was moving to much around the rear wheels making it to dangerous to climb up top. thanks BOB
