Twisted chassis, rolled container, ALL BAD

Twisted chassis, rolled container, ALL BAD! Here we go again with a loaded container rollover with no space. And yet again, a job where rotators are king and shine here. I responded with Hulk, my 50ton rotator, and Alex responded with our 75ton rotator, Big Flipper. Originally it came in as the tractor rolled over, but upon arrival it was clear the tractor was upright, with the container off the chassis.

What made this very hard was the container was not fully off the chassis, and seemed to be stuck in the bottom container hole. I fully expected the chassis to remain bent and twisted as they often are, but to my surprise the chassis retained its memory and literally snapped back into place once the lock came loose. It looks scary of course, but in anticipation for that Alex had a catch line with the line of action way over the center to do exactly that, catch. So despite the ugly recoil, it stayed in position and was set back down without ever hitting Big Flipper or being in real danger.

Onto the flip itself, it was pretty routine for our standards. Lift and catch off the side, bringing it up and over then pushing it out enough to get the new chassis under it. The curve was tight, so the driver did his best then the rotators worked their magic to get it right onto the locks. All in all another good job. What did you guys think?
