When Recovery Towing Is Necessary
Recovery towing provides rescue services to vehicle owners in precarious, difficult situations. Any combination of circumstances can lead to a stuck or damaged vehicle. Following is a list of scenarios in which you may need to contact a recovery towing specialist.
Water and Ice
If a light-duty or heavy-duty vehicle leaves the road, enters a body of water and begins to sink, speed of response can minimize the amount of damage to the body and engine. Retrieving submerged vehicles requires strong, weighted equipment found only within a professional towing company’s fleet. Snowmobiles and ATVs may fall through thin ice on lakes, and the drivers will need fast, professional towing to remove the recreational vehicles. Recovery specialists also can salvage a crippled boat or personal watercraft and return it to dry land. Any of these vehicles may also require rescue towing in the instance of a flash flood.
Ditches and Ravines
Do not depend on mid-size trucks to pull other vehicles out of a ditch or deep ravine, or another disaster may happen. This situation requires professional attention. Using heavy-duty equipment such as a crane and mechanical winch, recovery towing professionals can extract any vehicle and place it safely back on the road, towing it away for repairs as needed.
Mud
While the last situation any ATV owners want is to find themselves stuck in the mud on a remote road, there is a solution: recovery towing. Simply call a locally based company whose staff knows their way around the typical riding trails. The team can extract your vehicle efficiently and correctly, without causing damage to the frame or axles.
Post-Accident
A heavy-duty truck rollover is a catastrophic scene. Whether the accident occurred due to bad weather, driving mistakes or jackknifing, when a rig rolls over, the first concern is the safety of the driver. Next, the transport company must find a reliable recovery specialist who can coordinate retrieval of the tractor-trailer. The team chosen must understand the need for swiftness in righting the rig and transporting it for repairs immediately. The towing company also must have the ability to work with authorities on the scene to coordinate cleanup, especially if the rollover prompted an environmentally harmful chemical or oil spill.
Construction Site
During a construction project, accidents can happen that derail heavy-duty equipment. If a wall collapses on a tractor or gravel spills on an excavator, recovery towing is needed to carefully remove the equipment without prompting additional disasters on site. An experienced company understands that careful and instant retrieval is necessary to keep the project running on time.
