At Big Rig Towing & Recovery, we specialize in handling tough towing jobs, from rescuing broken-down rigs to hauling heavy equipment. On a previous call, we were tasked with transporting a forklift — quite a complex undertaking!

Forklifts, weighing between 1,800 to 4,500 kg, are far too heavy for standard tow trucks. Transporting them requires specialized equipment and techniques to ensure safety and efficiency. Securing the forklift properly is critical to prevent it from shifting, tilting, or falling off the truck during transport, which could cause damage or accidents.

To safely transport a forklift, our team uses straps, chains, and blocks to stabilize the load, carefully securing the wheels to prevent any tilting. This attention to detail ensures the forklift remains stable and reduces risks to both the equipment and surrounding property. Our experienced team follows strict safety protocols throughout the loading, transport, and offloading process to protect everyone involved.

Big Rig Towing’s reputation for safe and reliable heavy hauling is built on years of experience and precision. We pride ourselves on providing expert service for all types of heavy equipment, including forklifts. Available 24/7, our certified technicians and fleet of heavy-duty trucks are ready to tackle any towing or recovery challenge, no matter the size.

For all your heavy-duty towing needs, whether it’s a forklift or any other large load, Big Rig Towing is here to help. Contact us anytime at 1 (866) 398-7444 for fast, professional service!
