Heavy Duty, High Traffic
When you’re dealing with towing heavy vehicles on busy highways, the challenges are significant. Highways are particularly tough places for towing because they are always busy, with fast-moving traffic adding to the challenge. Route 12 heavy towing requires specialized equipment, skilled operators, and strict safety protocols to handle every job efficiently and safely. Whether it’s a breakdown, accident, or any other roadside emergency, we’re here to ensure that both the vehicles and the drivers involved are taken care of properly.
The Equipment We Use
Heavy towing on a highway is no small task. It requires powerful equipment that can handle the weight and size of large commercial vehicles. One of the main tools in our arsenal is the heavy-duty wrecker. These wreckers have strong winches, booms, and underlift systems capable of lifting and towing even the largest trucks and buses.
Heavy-Duty Wreckers
Our heavy-duty wreckers are built to manage the most challenging towing situations. They come with robust hydraulic systems allowing us to safely and securely lift vehicles. These wreckers are crucial when dealing with overturned or severely damaged trucks that need to be uprighted and moved off the highway quickly.
Rotators and Cranes
In addition to standard wreckers, we also use rotators and cranes for Route 12 heavy towing. These machines are designed for situations where vehicles are in hard-to-reach places or require precision lifting. Rotators are particularly useful for recovering vehicles that have rolled over or are stuck in precarious positions, allowing us to rotate and lift them with minimal damage.
How to Stay Safe During a Highway Tow
Safety is our top priority when performing Route 12 heavy towing. The combination of high speeds, vehicles, and traffic makes the towing environment particularly hazardous. We follow strict safety protocols to protect our team and other drivers on the road.
Clear Communication
Clear communication is essential during a highway tow. Our operators stay in constant contact with dispatch and law enforcement to coordinate the towing process. We also use high-visibility gear and proper signage to alert oncoming traffic, ensuring that everyone is aware of the situation.
Traffic Control
Managing traffic flow is another crucial aspect of safety. And we take safety seriously in every Route 12 heavy towing job we take on. We often work with local authorities to set up temporary roadblocks or divert traffic around the towing scene. This protects our operators and helps prevent secondary accidents, which can occur when drivers aren’t aware of the situation ahead.
Vehicle Size and Weight
The sheer size and weight of the vehicles we tow add another layer of complexity to Route 12 heavy towing. Moving a fully loaded tractor-trailer requires precise calculations and expert handling. Our team is trained to manage these challenges, ensuring that each tow is performed without causing further damage to the vehicle or the roadway.
