M&K Ready Mix Concrete Truck Recovery Operation | Feat. Quiring Towing

Ойын-сауық

February 2023 an unfortunate series of events lead to a large concrete truck losing its grip and sliding off an icy, winding road. The driver narrowly escaped with minor injuries including 2 broken ribs. Fast forward to now, mid May, with Vernon Towing's own Randy operating the yellow 25 ton wrecker accompanied by non-other than Al Quiring and his 50 ton heavy wrecker, the Green Goblin. With Alpha Crane standing by to assist in lifting the nearly 90,000 Lb vehicle up the staggering 75ft embankment. Time for recovery 7:34:00

    I watched this video because I hadn't seen/heard much from Quiring Towing. With no audio it didn't help much. Looks like Al's wrecker needs a good make over. I doubt he has the free time to be honest. Dangerous work even with two wreckers and the Crane! Great job as always.❤

    Near the start it shows a substantial amount of concrete came out the back of the mixer. Where is the 90000 pounds figure coming from. It would be lighter than 90000. the truck and mixer will run about 35000 empty.

    The main truck for pulling was the green wrecker (50 ton), and the yellow wrecker (25 ton) was there for an anchor and pulling assist, to get the truck up on the road we had a crane from Alpha Crane that was capable of 100 tons, to help lift approximately 20,000lbs of weight from the back of the truck. This was due to the truck having around 6 meters of concrete left in it.

    Where i live it's not uncommon for highway departments to put down a 2 inch cap on the roads rather than rip them up and start over. Judging by the look, that's what happened here. But I believe they skipped putting the tack layer between them.
