I-480 Semi Truck Rollover – A Timely Rescue
In the bustling town of Garfield Heights, Ohio, unforeseen events can disrupt the flow of daily life. That’s exactly what happened when the Garfield Heights police department issued an urgent call for assistance. A massive tractor-trailer had rolled over, obstructing the crucial intersection of I-480 and Broadway Ave (RT14) and I-77.
Garfield Heights police and fire departments were already on the scene, recognizing the urgency of the situation. The overturned semi-truck was fully loaded with an astonishing 44,000 pounds of plastic rolls, making the recovery mission a complex and high-stakes endeavor.
With traffic at a standstill and the need for a swift resolution evident, Interstate Towing’s elite team sprang into action. Within minutes of receiving the distress call, we dispatched two of our most powerful assets—a formidable 80-ton rotator and an equally robust 65-ton rotator.
Our skilled operators approached the overturned semi-truck with precision and expertise. The situation demanded a controlled rollover to prevent any secondary damage during the recovery process. With the additional support of a 25-ton unit, a specialized Landoll trailer, and the emergency response truck, our team worked tirelessly over the course of 6 hours.
The result was a successful recovery. The semi-truck was uprighted, and the cargo container was expertly extracted from the truck and trailer. This colossal load was then lifted onto our waiting Landoll trailer, designed for heavy-duty hauling.
With the cargo securely managed, Interstate Towing took charge of transportation, allowing the flow of traffic to resume and restoring order to the affected area.
