Heavy Recovery Service Successfully Completes Recovery of Digger Derrick in 6 Hours

Falzone Towing recently lent its expertise to a customer who required an experienced heavy recovery service. Picture this: a digger Derrick, carrying 3 massive poles, with a weight of approximately 70,000 lbs. Suddenly, its engine goes kaput and the poor driver is stranded, unable to move an inch. What’s a guy to do?

Well, fortunately for him, he knew exactly who to call. Enter Falzone Towing, the heavy recovery service that’s been saving the day for customers in need. With just one call, a team was dispatched to Hazleton, PA, near the I-8, with a 75-ton rotator and a service truck in tow.

Now, this wasn’t your average tow job. This was a heavy recovery mission that required some serious expertise. But Falzone Towing was up for the challenge! With precision and skill, they hooked up the digger Derrick, carefully taking into account its maximum legal height before lifting.

In addition, the unit system was an All Wheel Drive, which meant that the hook-up process became even more complicated. Yet, Falzone Towing didn’t skip a beat and successfully completed the heavy recovery in just six hours.

Talk about a heavy duty towing job well done! If you ever find yourself in a similar predicament, you know who to call. Falzone Towing is the heavy recovery service that’s always got your back!

Details of Heavy Recovery Service Successfully Completes Recovery of Digger Derrick in 6 Hours

Heavy recovery service, Falzone Towing, recently lent a hand to a customer who needed a professional heavy recovery service. The customer called after his unit had a problem with its engine after it was derated due to an emissions issue. He knew that he needed a professional heavy recovery service for the job. 

This unit was a digger Derrick, which is used to drill holes, lift poles, and set them. The unit was also carrying 3 poles and weighed approximately 70,000 lbs, which made it necessary to call an expert heavy recovery service to complete the job. 

The heavy recovery service dispatcher quickly sent a team out to Hazleton, PA, near the I-81. The Falzone heavy recovery service brought with them: a 75-ton rotator and a service truck. Due to the size and weight of this broken-down unit, a larger tow truck was needed to tow the unit. This was especially challenging due to the extended bumper requiring the tow truck’s underlift to be extended more than usual. 

Once the heavy recovery service arrived at the location, they assessed the situation and came up with the best plan. This unit’s ride height was at the maximum legal height before lifting, so the steer tires were removed and transported in the service truck, and reinstalled at the destination. 

Because the unit’s system was All Wheel Drive, it added a few more complications to the hook-up process. However, the Falzone heavy recovery service successfully completed the heavy recovery and finished the job in 6 hours.
