Today’s job in Sunshine, Victoria highlights the importance of using the right equipment and correct recovery techniques when handling heavy machinery.
A 35-ton forklift needed to be loaded onto a low loader. Initial attempts using ramps were unsuccessful due to loss of traction and resistance from the incline, turning the situation into a recovery task.
Our team deployed the Mack Titan to safely complete the job.
Using a single winch line with over 20-ton pulling capacity, the forklift was carefully winched onto the trailer in a controlled and stable manner. Precision was critical to avoid unnecessary stress on the equipment and ensure safe loading.
This job demonstrates the importance of proper planning and execution when dealing with heavy loads.
Key considerations included correct load angles, controlled winching force, and understanding resistance during movement.
With the right setup and experience, the operation was completed efficiently and without damage.
