Creative use of a high-hoe - Take 1

There are all sorts of vehicular hazards on construction sites. If a vehicle gets stuck, because of the size of these things, the crew often has to be very creative to get them un-stuck. Here's one method of un-sticking a dump truck, courtesy of Mulrooney Trucking, Taggart Construction and the Tindall Field Parking Garage construction project at Queen's University.

when your wheels are turned like that they act as a plough or break.

Ah relax, its a city building site, and time is of the essence

They are just getting the truck started over a steep bit.

The safer way is to use the excavator to tow the truck out

Yeah but front bumpers isn't made for recovery..

Call a proper tower and he'll get it up damage free. A exgavator vill beak things.

I hate when ppl post good videos but only record stuff for less than a minute and that makes us feel like wanting to know what happened next...

[riquelaboissiere]

@Hoolie2899 umm I think they already had one there, which is the other truck trying to pull it, but the truck is really stuck and these things are too damn heavy

There comes a point and time where you need to swallow your pride, call a wrecker and fill out the appropriate paperwork. That is NOT the right way to get a truck unstuck....Not trying to make fun, but how did it get in there to begin with?

@happytobehim yeah and whats up with the idiot in the towing truck trying to reverse it out...?

[blrkeith]

How in the hell did that happen and call in a fucking wrecker before you wreck something else ! It's already bad enough !
