hatcity Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Wasn't a rotator, so would not have them. Rears were down but don't help side to side that much.On the plus side, don't look like they need to replace windshield, came off in one piece Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/13908-bad-day-for-a-wrecker-driver/#findComment-55177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Rider Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 My boss at the towing company I was working for part-time did this. His KW900 is in the front. This isn't a rotator either. The procedure they are trying is called a california roll. I've done it many times successfully with a 1 ton and cars or pickups. It allows you to do this without putting your truck at a 90 degree to the crash. This is the only option when you don't have the room. The big fault here is your wrecker is suppose to be inline with the recovered unit when it lands. Quote #1 on A-model registryIf I drink because of work, why can't I drink at work?
