Sky Trim turned over in the woods

[JR Ellis]

Customer called and requested our skidder wrecker to recover a Sky Trim that had over turned in the woods.

 

 

Surveying the scene we knew we could not get any trucks to the location and it was not coming out the way

it went into the job. We walked up the hill through the woods and decided to take it straight up out of there

knowing we could not steer it and there was very little chance of getting the brakes released.

 

 

 

 

The skidder could upright and bring it 75% up the hill but would need to reposition and help maneuvering

around a couple of trees so a large excavator was also brought to the scene.

 

 

 

After clearing a path with chain saws and a bush hog the recovery began.

 

 

 

 

Skidder was rigged to the Sky Trim uprighted and recovered up hill.

 

 

After it was almost to the top the excavator held it while the skidder was repositioned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

then we maneuvered it around trees and brought it sideways to get it on level ground so it could be safely worked on.

 

 

A big Thank You to Mark Hurst, Pat Rogers , Patrick Rogers and Elijah Rogers for being able to to respond quick, provide

large excavators and dozers with professional operators no matter if it’s 1:00pm in the afternoon or 4:00am in the morning.
