Emergency Plane Landing in Signal Hill!

On April 1, 2019, we received a call to transport a plane that made an emergency landing in Signal Hill. Upon arrival, we were informed that the only way we would be allowed to transport the plane was sideways per the police department. I set the rotator in position to lift the plane, spin it, then set on our Landoll trailer for transportation to the airport while being escorted by multiple law enforcement agencies.

Experts in Assisting with Unique Situations

In order to lift the plane safely and without damaging it, our team put a 16’ endless loop around the strongest point of the plane. This happened to be just behind the wings of the aircraft. From there, our team inspected the loop, making sure it was in the right position.

A 5’8” synthetic super sling with a weight limit of 37,800 pounds was then used to lift the front of the plane from the engine rails simultaneously. Once the plane was off the ground, the team used rim sings for guide ropes to keep the plane from spinning dangerously. We then rotated the plane so it was sideways, and our Landoll driver approached the plane to get ready for transport and we slowly lowered the plane onto our Landoll.

Since the plane was situated sideways as we transported it. We were escorted by the police so that our oversized load didn’t get in the way of traffic on the streets. Once we got the airport, we essentially repeated the process it took to get the plane onto the truck, to get it off of the truck, safely completing our transportation the plane.
