Problem with those pallets, is how to unload them. I have never seen forks that rotate to the angle to be able to lift the pallet. I think someone has to unload them by hand. Jon

Truck owner's problem. I've never been to a building supply where you don't pay before they load your truck.

They make them. I operated a rough terrain forklift for a while, hauling scrap to the scrap pile from various buildings at the plant I worked at.

Pull the lever and the forks would start turning in circles and stop where ever I needed them to.

Probably not at box stores, though. Understand it is truck owners problem. Jon

Assuredly it is the trucker (or his company, or his insurer) that is on the hook for the costs. The recovery (towing) company that will have to remove the truck probably has jacks or hoists capable of raising the bed to near level; the yard that loaded the truck obviously has a fork lift that can handle the pallets, so a RT forklift may not be necessary. Hopefully the incident occurred close enough to the yard that the FL can travel to the scene.

It wouldn’t be that big of a deal for a couple of guy to unload them by hand onto another truck. It would be a lot cheaper and probably faster to do than and tow it off with a light duty wrecker than trying to get more specialized equipment on there. Alternative idea, maybe if you had access to a forklift or skid steer you could slide both forks to the center and stick them in the low side of the pallet. Then lift it up and throw a few bags of the concrete under it to hold it level and then unload it normally.

I’d be interested to see his DIY project that he’s using the lumber for once it’s done……

From the twists and bends in those boards, the only thing you could build would be sled runners!
