Is it possible the crane below the trailer is actually lifting the trailer of the ground
after it cut the corner and grounded out ?

I thought that at first but then I did that foolish thing I should never do
I began thinking and it occurred to me that most hair pin bends are on steep country and the bend is to get around a land mark that has no easy option
So using my peanut of a brain I thought (yes twice in the one night !!!!) if that is the case how the heck did the crane get n there then ???
from what I can see there is no big hashed up mess in the snow

Then I got to thinking again LOL you will give your self brain damage if you keep this up

From Hank Rabe Collection:
Custom Carriers from Spruce Grove Alberta, at 3:00 in the morning a heavy haul went sideways, The driver did not swing wide enough to the right and ended up in the weeds.

He certainly had all sides of the road covered





As Swishy says wonder the stinger didn't snap off -maybe it was built by that Merican tool manufacturer

MrsM,

I think you will find the crane is backed up beside the PM.

It came onto the scene from the front of the truck, not for the same direction as the truck.

You have to bear in mind this is in America and they aren't the sharpest bunch over there!

Looks to me like they got more cranes than Hi Vis vests in that place. Don't know why they need all them vests there certainly ain't no passing traffic.
Looks like the big crane on the downhill slope (you can see the cables in the above picture) are lifting the load with 1 of the towies cranes the 2nd towie is removing the stinger out the back of the deck so they can pull it around the corner.



I'm sure as the driver was trying to go round that morning first he said it and then did it.
