Heavy Tow Truck Team Does Some Heavy Lifting in Downers Grove
While our heavy tow truck team does love challenges, they do enjoy the simple jobs as well! A local construction company called in for help with some heavy lifting. They had rented a generator from out of state and needed assistance moving the massive unit.
When you’re lifting 20,000 lb of expensive equipment, you want to make sure that you’re using the best equipment and the best heavy lifting operators. For this particular job, the heavy tow truck team used a rotator. A rotator is a heavy tow truck with a pivoting crane-like boom. They are used for recoveries (overturned trucks), lifting (farm equipment, generators), and more!
The customer needed our team to lift the generator off of the trailer it had arrived on. They had already cleared a designated area for it. The O’Hare team can lift anything. That being said, they won’t complain when a piece of equipment already has a lift spot on it as this makes their job simpler and safer! There was one lift spot dead center on the top of the generator.
The team hooked onto the lift spot and slowly lifted the heavy generator into the air. Swinging the boom on the rotator, they moved the generator to its new home. The construction team is now ready should another heavy storm hit!
Fantastic work out there team!
