Received a call from Lakeville, Mass Police to respond immediately to Island Terrace Rd. which runs between the city resevoir for a loaded Boom Truck towing a large tree chipper that had rolled over and was leaking a large amount of diesel and hydraulic fluid into the water. We responded with our two 60 ton rotators to lift the entire unit up and spin it over back onto its wheels. We also used the crane to retrieve the chipper and turn it over onto its wheels as well. We then hooked the boom truck to one of our rotators and transported it to our Freetown location and the chipper was transported by ramp truck to our main shop in Freetown, Mass.

Ed, I was thinking the same, but let it be.
The insurance adjusters in MA or the NE part of the US must be A LOT different than the ones we have here...they complain about everything (and the owners do as well).
