Heavy-Duty Towing & Recovery

Rotators, heavy wreckers and lowboy transport for anything a light-duty truck cannot touch — Class 8 tractors, loaded trailers, buses, motorhomes and construction equipment.

Overview

When the load is too big for a standard tow

Heavy recovery is not just a bigger truck. It is rigging, weight distribution and knowing where a loaded trailer will go once it starts to move. Our operators run the equipment daily on the I-680, I-80 and Highway 4 corridors, and they plan the lift before the first chain comes off the deck.

We work with owner-operators, fleet managers, dispatchers and insurance adjusters. You get a straight assessment on scene, a clear price, and a truck that can actually finish the job without a second call-out.

Process

How a heavy call runs

  1. You call

    Tell us the unit, the load, the location and whether it is on the shoulder or off the road. That determines which truck rolls.

  2. We dispatch

    The right wrecker leaves with the rigging the job needs, and you get an honest ETA rather than an optimistic one.

  3. On-scene assessment

    The operator walks the scene, confirms the recovery plan and gives you the price before any work starts.

  4. Recovery & delivery

    We recover the unit and take it to your shop, yard or terminal — wherever the vehicle needs to end up.

Questions

Frequently asked

What size vehicles can you tow?

Up to and including fully loaded Class 8 tractor-trailers. We also handle buses, motorhomes, box trucks, street sweepers and tracked construction equipment.

Can you recover a truck that has left the roadway?

Yes. Off-road winch-outs and embankment recoveries are routine work for us. Tell the dispatcher how far off the road the unit sits and what the ground is like so we bring the right rigging.

Do you work with insurance and fleet accounts?

We do. We provide documentation for claims and can set up direct billing arrangements for fleets that call us regularly.

How fast can a heavy wrecker get to me?

Most calls inside our service area are reached in about 30 minutes. Heavy recovery equipment and traffic on the bridge approaches can extend that, and the dispatcher will tell you honestly what to expect.
