Heavy Duty Towing required as fertilizer spreader hits the cement

Fertilizer Spreader Saved by Heavy Duty Towing

Our heavy duty towing team in Hopkinsville saved the day when a fertilizer spreader straddled a cement divider on a local bridge.  This bridge was under construction. The Department of Transportation is increasing the bridge from a two-lane highway to a four-lane highway. Now, you would expect all drivers to be extra cautious, but a fertilizer spreader ran out of luck as it got cut off by a passing car. To avoid the car, the fertilizer spreader tried to save the car with an X-Games maneuver, but it ended up climbing a cement divider on the bridge. The fertilizer spreader got stuck on the concrete with its rear wheels up in the air.  Our heavy duty towing team was called in for help. One of our heavy duty towing professionals came to the rescue straight away, bringing a 30-ton heavy wrecker for the recovery of the fertilizer spreader. Carefully, our heavy duty towing team member winched the fertilizer spreader back on the road, using the 30-ton wrecker, towing cables, towing straps and hooks. Once back on its wheels, the driver got in the vehicle and started the engine. To everyone’s surprise, the fertilizer spreader was unharmed and he could drive away and continue its journey just like that as if nothing had happened. A perfect rescue. We’d like to give a special thanks to our heavy duty towing crew team member who got the job done so quickly and easily. Stay safe on the road, everyone!

Jones Brother received a call for a fertilizer spreader. It required heavy duty towing. The Jones Brother dispatcher contacted our heavy duty towing team and they sent out a heavy wrecker for the recovery. Our heavy duty towing team arrived and found the fertilizer spreader sitting atop a cement divider. We were told that a passing car had gotten in the way and the fertilizer spreader had veered and ended up carelessly balanced on the cement divider. Our heavy duty towing team went to work. We first backed our heavy wrecker in near the fertilizer spreader. Our heavy duty towing team then got out the appropriate towing cables, towing straps and hooks. The team then attached the towing hooks to the frame of the fertilizer spreader. The heavy duty towing team then walked back to the wrecker and they slowly winched the fertilizer truck up. Carefully the heavy duty towing team eased the fertilizer spreader back onto the road. Finally, the heavy duty towing team carefully sat the fertilizer spreader down one foot. They then sat the fertilizer spreader down two more feet. Finally, the fertilizer spreader was down on the ground where it could be secured. The heavy duty towing team then removed the towing cables and straps from the fertilizer spreader. The driver of the fertilizer spreader got back into the fertilizer spreader and drove it away as the fertilizer spreader was undamaged.
