Late on Father's Day evening, Hammer Tires & 24/7 Roadside Service responded to an emergency roadside call involving a fully loaded commercial dump truck that suffered a catastrophic wheel-end failure. Multiple wheel studs failed, leaving the truck disabled and unsafe to move.
This wasn't a simple roadside tire change. With a fully loaded truck and a damaged rear axle, repairing it on the shoulder wasn't the safest option. Our priority was protecting the driver, protecting the equipment, and recovering the truck without creating additional damage.
Using heavy-duty cribbing, hydraulic bottle jacks, chains, and recovery equipment, our team safely supported and secured the damaged rear axle so the truck could be carefully driven back to our Columbus, Kansas service facility for permanent repairs.
Not every roadside breakdown can be fixed where it happens. Knowing when to repair, when to recover, and how to safely move heavy commercial equipment is just as important as having the right tools.
Hammer Tires & 24/7 Roadside Service provides emergency roadside assistance for commercial trucks, dump trucks, semi trucks, trailers, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, wheel-end failures, broken wheel studs, tire failures, flat tires, roadside tire replacement, and heavy-duty truck recovery throughout southeast Kansas, northeast Oklahoma, southwest Missouri, and surrounding communities.
If your truck is disabled after hours, on a weekend, or during a holiday, give us a call. Whether it's a roadside tire service call or a complex commercial truck recovery, we'll help you find the safest way to get back on the road.
