Towing a Broken Moffett

We recently got a call from a customer in Covington, Georgia, who needed our help with a broken Moffett. The wheel was damaged, leaving the equipment stranded in the middle of the road by their work site. Our tow truck was quickly dispatched to handle this Covington equipment removal job, ensuring that the road would be cleared, and the equipment transported safely.

Assessing the Scene and Planning the Move

When we arrived on the scene near I-20, it was clear that the Moffett required careful handling. Our single operator came prepared with a tow truck, skates, and wood. The goal was to move the Moffett safely without causing further damage or creating more roadblocks.

Lifting the Moffett onto the Flatbed

First, we assessed the situation and positioned our tow truck strategically. Using the end of the flatbed, we managed to lift the Moffett slightly. This allowed us to place a block of wood underneath for support. With the Moffett now slightly elevated, we used the winch to pull it up onto the flatbed while it was in neutral. This method ensured that the equipment was secured without causing additional strain on the broken wheel.

Once the Moffett was securely on the flatbed, we transported it to a safer location, clearing space on the work site. It was a straightforward yet critical operation to help the guys on the work site to get on with their jobs without obstructions.

Handling A Heavy Equipment Breakdown in Covington

This Covington equipment removal job began with a call from a customer whose Moffett had broken down. The equipment was immobile due to a damaged wheel, creating a roadblock near their work site, close to I-20.

Initial Assessment and Preparation

Upon arrival, our operator assessed the situation. Given the Moffett’s condition and its position in the middle of the road, it was essential to move it carefully to avoid further damage. The operator used a tow truck equipped with skates and wood to facilitate the process.

Lifting and Securing the Equipment

The first step in the Covington equipment removal was to lift the Moffett slightly using the end of the flatbed. By doing so, the operator could place a block of wood underneath the equipment. This provided the necessary support to begin the winching process. Ensuring the Moffett was in neutral, the operator then used the winch to pull the equipment up onto the flatbed. This step required precision to keep the Moffett balanced and secure.

Transporting the Moffett

Once the Moffett was safely on the flatbed, the next phase of the Covington equipment removal involved transporting it to a secure location. The operator properly secured the Moffett to prevent any movement during transit.

Final Steps

Upon reaching the designated location, the Moffett was carefully unloaded. The same method was used in reverse to lower the equipment gently, ensuring it remained stable throughout the process. The completion of this Covington equipment removal job provided the customer with a solution to their immediate problem.
