Albertsons Semi Roll Over Crash on Freeway! Not often you see us use an airbag recovery system for a major rollover, but man do they come in handy. Since the trailer was compromised and not strong like a container, it was really the only option here to bring everything up loaded. The only other way is to offload the trailer, which would take hours upon hours and could ruin a lot of the perishable load of food.

Super Dave and Alex responded to this job close to 5am, and made the call to bring me in with the air bags. Normally we can upright any container and most trailers just using straps, but once the roof or an entire wall support is gone, then it's game over. Even with multiple straps, you have a very very high risk of them tearing through the roof during the upright especially with a full 40,000lb load.

Once I arrived, I saw the guys had everything rigged and setup and ready for us to immediately throw the bags under. Even with bags, it's still easy to destroy a trailer as you try to get them snug and all the way under the load. Once they were setup, Alex and Dave used the rotators with straps to lift at the same time as the bags, which distributed tension evenly across the trailer. Then, Castro used our wrecker to "spike" the front of the tractor while using a second line to gently catch it. This allows the entire tractor trailer to come over smoothly as one unit without being slammed over.

The tractor was then split from the trailer, and both units were towed separately back to the customer's base to offload. Overall a crazy difficult job made to look easy with the right equipment and operators.
