Big Jobs, Big Trucks
When there’s heavy lifting to be done, our wreckers are ready to roll. We recently handled a Tamaqua heavy-duty vehicle towing job that took us to Bellefonte. A customer called us because their heavy-duty vehicle had derated and required a tow to their desired destination. The task was straightforward: safely and efficiently tow a 50,000-55,000-pound empty vehicle over a considerable distance.
Tackling Heavy Loads
Our day started with a call from the customer, explaining that their vehicle had derated and needed immediate assistance. We knew this job would require our 50-ton tandem heavy tow truck and one of our experienced operators. The challenge was not just the weight but ensuring the vehicle’s safe transport across the state.
Handling A Heavyweight
Our operator arrived in Tamaqua, prepped the vehicle for the tow, and hooked it to the wrecker. This involved securing the vehicle to the underlift, removing the driveline, and supplying air to the air system. Due to the severe weight, running brakes to the unit was essential, helping with stopping and overall control during the journey.
From Tamaqua to Bellefonte
With everything in place, our operator set off on the trip to Bellefonte. The journey took about seven hours, navigating through Highway 81 and other routes. Despite the length and complexity of the drive, our operator managed the task with precision, ensuring the heavy-duty vehicle’s safety throughout the trip. The customer was relieved and pleased to see their vehicle arrive in Bellefonte without any issues.
