On Tuesday the graders were stuck and it took 2 units to pull them out they were <br /> using a 3/8 inch chain and they should have used a 1/2 inch chain. They checked with Island <br /> Supply because they provide towing equipment and they now have 1/2 inch chains. Now if a <br /> grader is stuck they will have to have a supervisor present before it can be extracted and will <br /> use the 1/2 inch chains. They have to make sure that they do not exceed the towing capacity of <br /> the chains. <br /> They had safety meetings with training and reviewed the extracting process so they will know <br /> how to handle this and they also have a publication for the vehicle extraction process.
