Local Towing Company Provides Load Shift Service for Driver Carrying Bales of Compressed Trash
Falzone Towing recently utilized a new tool when they were called for a load shift service in Bloomsburg, PA. A cargo driver was transporting bales of compressed trash from Connecticut to Ohio. About halfway through his journey, his load, unfortunately, shifted causing his trailer to lean to one side.
Always at the cutting edge of the latest towing and recovery techniques, the Falzone team was happy to provide an innovative solution. Falzone’s is always interested to invest in the latest equipment and they were able to use paper air pillows during this recovery.
Once the load shift service crew arrived at the location, they got to work with this smart solution. First, they utilized the air cushions and cribbing along with air compressors to slide the cargo back into the middle of the trailer.
Some trash bales were secured with strapping, while others had the air pillows put into place. The crew inflated them to prevent the load from shifting while in transport. These air pillows are good for one-time use and allow the driver to continue on his way to his destination.
Falzone’s was proud to be able to provide him with an efficient solution. The driver was able to continue his journey to Ohio without any damage done to his load. Great job out there, team!
