Big Rig Towing Heavy LIfting

Can You Tow Anything?

According to Wikipedia towing is the process of coupling one object to another, so that one can be pulled along behind the other. The towing source (lead object) is usually a truck or other motorized land vehicle. The coupling may consist of a chain, rope, bar, integrated platform, or some other means of keeping the two objects together while in motion.

Big Rig Towing often has to make use of its 75 ton rotator to lift overturned trailers and many other heavy objects related to rig accidents.

So, that being said, not just cars and trucks can be towed but almost anything that will move can be towed.

Just remember that not all vehicles are made to tow and the safety considerations of properly towing another vehicle or object cannot be understated.

When in doubt, hire a professional.

Holy Cow

You can never be too careful when negotiating a corner especially when carrying a load of cows.
Righting this rig with the rotator wasn’t the tricky part of this recovery, unloading and managing a herd of cows however was a whole other kind of recovery.
All’s well that ends well as the noisy bovines were transferred to another cattle carrier and Big Rig Towing hauled the ditched rig back onto the road.
