A pickup pulling a trailer with a backhoe lost control and the trailer flipped onto its side with the backhoe still attached. Burks & Mahoney Wrecker Service did the recovery which took over an hour. Hot Springs, Arkansas 5/16/08 on King Expressway.

  • How were the tractor and trailer transported?

    Together or separately?

    Trailer with tractor still loaded pulled up onto the flatbed carrier?

    If so, back first or tongue first?

    Pros at work. Very controlled and cautious. Good work!!!

  • They towed the whole thing on the flatbed with the tongue first- was a very slow process getting it loaded.

  • Nice controlled recovery. Well done guys.

    Did they take the wheels off the trailer to set it back up or did they come off in the accident?

  • No the tires coming off caused the accident- trailer fishtailed. Made the recovery much harder- one side of trailer dug into the pavement.

  • That's not a backhoe that's a termite. Short for a POS yellow thing with a couple of buckets and some tires............definitely not a backhoe.

  • What happened to the driver?

  • @ke6gwf It also didnt help that the trailer was too light for the load

  • To all those that haul tractors: Note the tractor did not stay in place on the trailer, but the chains allowed it to move.

    It was not chained properly, and that may have contributed to the wreck!

    I so often see backhoes and even large excavators going down the freeway bouncing around on the trailer with too few and loose chains, not only is it hard on the tractor and trailer with all the banging and shock loading, it's not legal! (or safe)

  • I think the chain can hold it

  • If you are looking for quality, then you should get the Blu-ray copy, but for now you can watch it at [24HOURFLICKS]dottinfo . Enjoy, Pete01!

  • its a terramitr- they only weigh around 6000-8000 tops. i sell em. its a rental too so that must suck to explain.

  • i love this backhoe

  • at least they had the backhoe strapped down good
