Stolen Forklift Accident Lands Near Railroad Tracks. There are times when my big powerful rotators just can't do the job. Not physically, of course, but because of SPACE! The big 4 axle monsters obviously can't fit into every driveway or alleyway, or in this case a no-access road leading to the back of a warehouse. The owners of this shop had a break in overnight and in the process they somehow backed up the forklift out the back dock.

This is where I come in the following morning, and after scouting all possible options, decided to bring in Joe with our 16ton 2axle medium duty wrecker. This versatile truck was just small enough to cross the tracks quickly and safely with the use of wood. Once backed up, both lines were used to lift and catch the forklift then rear tow it around the block.

From here, they wanted it inside of the dock. At first thought, a flatbed would be a great choice. But with the unit not running, you would not be able to push it off. Since I had Hulk, my 50ton rotator, already on scene it was a no brainer. I made one quick adjustment by removing the snatch blocks, to allow me to boom up and inside the dock with the forklift and get it in the exact spot they wanted.

It's different from the normal heavy duty recoveries I post weekly, but hoping you guys still enjoy this cool little battle.
