Beyond Recovering Stuck or Crashed Big Rigs

Big rig towing is more than just rescuing vehicles from crashes or ditches. While vehicle recovery is a crucial service, the scope of big rig towing extends to numerous tasks essential for maintaining smooth operations on the road. Here’s a closer look at some of the diverse services offered by Big Rig Towing & Recovery:

Vehicle Relocation: Moving non-operational rigs due to mechanical failure or non-roadworthy conditions.
Specialized Equipment Transport: Handling oversized or heavy equipment with care, often requiring special permits.
Long-Distance Towing: Helping truckers stranded far from their destination by towing rigs across significant distances.
Emergency Roadside Assistance: Addressing minor issues like flat tires, dead batteries, or fuel shortages on-site to get rigs back on the road quickly.
Off-Road Recovery: Retrieving vehicles that have veered off-road or into ditches, often without extensive damage.
Abandoned Vehicle Removal: Clearing abandoned vehicles from public or private property to ensure safety and access.
Winching Services: Using specialized equipment to free vehicles stuck in mud, snow, or other difficult terrains.
Accident Clean-Up: Removing debris, spilled fluids, and other hazards after an accident to restore safe roadway conditions.

Air Cushion Recovery: A Safe & Efficient Solution

When towing heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks, trailers, and equipment, specialized recovery methods are necessary to ensure a safe and efficient process. One such method is air cushion recovery–a highly effective and safe solution for up-righting rolled over heavy-duty trucks and trailers.

Air cushion recovery uses large inflatable cushions placed under the overturned vehicle. An air compressor gradually inflates the cushions, lifting the vehicle off the ground. This controlled process allows for a crane to then raise the vehicle to an upright position for transport.

One of the key advantages of air cushion recovery is its speed. Since air cushions inflate quickly, the recovery process is much faster than traditional methods. Additionally, air cushion recovery eliminates the need to remove cargo before lifting, making it ideal for vehicles carrying hazardous or fragile materials. The strategic placement of the cushions prevents damage to the cargo during the recovery.

This method is also effective in challenging environments. Air cushions can be positioned in tight corners or uneven terrain, allowing for a more controlled lift even in difficult conditions.

At Big Rig Towing, we provide air cushion recovery services for heavy-duty vehicles, ensuring a safe, fast, and efficient recovery process. Our team is available 24/7 to handle all towing needs. For assistance, contact us at 1 (866) 398-7444.
