The Safe and Efficient World of Air Cushion Recovery

Air cushion recovery is a game-changer when it comes to uprighting rolled-over heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and equipment. Big Rig Towing was able to offer the option of air cushion recovery when called to the rescue & recovery of this perfume shipment rollover!

Imagine large inflatable air cushions strategically positioned beneath the overturned side of the vehicle. These cushions, when inflated using an air compressor, gently hoist the heavy load off the ground, paving the way for a smooth transition to an upright position, ready for transportation.

The advantages of air cushion recovery over traditional methods are manifold. Firstly, it’s incredibly time-efficient. Thanks to the rapid inflation of these cushions, the entire recovery process is significantly expedited.

Furthermore, air cushion recovery eliminates the need to unload cargo before lifting the truck. By strategically placing the cushions, we ensure that your cargo remains untouched and intact, a crucial consideration when dealing with hazardous materials or delicate freight.

This method also shines in tight corners or challenging terrains where conventional recovery might fail. The flexibility of cushion placement allows for a controlled and balanced lift in any situation.

At Big Rig Towing, we’re your 24/7 solution for all heavy-duty and emergency towing needs. Reach out to us today at 1 (866) 398-7444 for prompt and professional assistance. Your recovery is our priority!

When Disaster Strikes, Big Rig Towing & Recovery to the Rescue!

Accidents are a fact of life, and when a massive big rig hurtles down the highway at breakneck speeds, carrying a heavy load, disaster can strike unexpectedly. Recently, an incident occurred that may seem like a routine rollover, but this was no ordinary mishap – this rig was loaded with tons of ice when it veered off the road and toppled over!

The silver lining in this accident was that the driver miraculously walked away unharmed. However, the same couldn’t be said for the 40 lb bags of ice on board. Whether it’s a scorching heatwave or a balmy summer’s night, frozen ice on the roadside has little chance unless it can be salvaged for a refreshing iced tea!

Big Rig Towing & Recovery extends exceptional customer relations

One of our customers, Susan at IAA, was overjoyed and surprised when she was able to be a rotator operator in training today!

When Big Rig was called to remove a severely burnt truck from a repair facility to be taken to IAA for investigation and eventual disposal, Susan asked that when Big Rig arrived if she could watch the rotator in action. The owner of Big Rig Towing & Recovery, Rick Paley, more than happily not only showed but taught and allowed Susan to operate and actually rotate the damaged truck off one of our tandem decks into IAA’s yard.

A once in a lifetime opportunity, Susan was extremely overjoyed to be operating such an amazing piece of equipment.

As ongoing good customer relations, Big Rig Towing takes pride in being able to explain and demonstrate the capabilities of our tow trucks to our customers and their employees.
