Loaded Maersk container rollover with shifted load – rotators to the rescue

Loaded Maersk container rollover with shifted load – rotators to the rescue – Welcome back to another weekly video featuring our famous container rollovers. This job was at a private yard in the city of Gardena, and I still have no clue how this rollover happened. Normally the ground gives way under the landing gear but in this case, there was no obvious signs of how it flipped.

Regardless, we showed up to tackle the job, not investigate the cause. What I thought would be a routine “easy” ten minute job turned out a bit longer due to the oddly shifted load. The rolls inside were staggered, which means it was a gamble to correct the load shift the way we did by turning it in midair. To our surprise, it worked and customer was happy.

Between Hulk, my 50ton rotator and Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator, the job was still easy if just a bit longer than anticipated.

  10. Another great job. I have a question. When towing a super heavy load you need a lots of breaking power right. Riiigghht, the truck has 2 working axels with 8 tires. Does it have 8 drum brakes? And do you have front brakes also. That would be great breaking power.
