8 good reasons to call Big Rig Towing & Recovery

Being stranded and needing a tow is never fun, but calling the professionals will definitely ease the stress.

Big Rig Towing doesn’t tow cars, but if it’s a big rig, truck, bus, RV, or something that’s heavy enough to need a crane, we can get the job done! We make hundreds of rescues and recoveries every year and while they all present individual challenges they are all resolved at the end of the day.

Remember that not all vehicles are made to tow and the safety considerations of properly towing another vehicle or object cannot be understated. Our professionally trained drivers and fleet of trucks are fully equipped to handle any towing situation.

75-ton rotator to the rescue!

Big Rig to the rescue when this forklift tried to make an escape through the floor of this trailer! We were called to bring our 75-ton rotator to the scene. After making an adjustment to the roof of the trailer, the rotator made quick work of getting the forklift out and back to work.

Moving heavy equipment is a job for the professionals. When they say don’t try this at home, they mean don’t try this at all if you don’t know what you’re doing!

We are licensed and insured so rest assured that while your rig is in our control it is covered by the most comprehensive insurance available to our industry.
