Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Construction Equipment Recovery Services
Have a jackknifed tractor trailer, delivery van stuck in mud, or a construction rig that’s slid off an embankment?
Recovering heavy vehicles and construction equipment takes more than a big truck. It requires an in-depth understanding of weight distribution, center of gravity, proper rigging techniques, and structural stress points.
Our team applies industry-leading techniques to execute safe, controlled recoveries to help prevent further damage and reduce downtime
Our medium and heavy-duty recovery services include the following
-
Construction equipment recovery (excavators, skid steers, loaders, bulldozers, etc.)
-
Tractor-trailer, bus, and oversized vehicle recovery
-
Winching and commercial vehicle extraction services
Cargo & Load Management
A shifted load is not only dangerous for the person operating the vehicle but also for the drivers sharing the road. When cargo weight moves outside of its center of gravity, it compromises the vehicle’s braking distance, cornering stability, and rollover resistance.
Shifted loads can lead to failed DOT inspections, bringing your trip to a halt.
Beyond the immediate safety risks, “out-of-service” orders at Michigan weigh stations result in:
-
Cancellation of commercial driver’s license (CDL)
-
Costly CSA Score Deductions: Impacting your fleet’s safety rating and insurance premiums.
-
Hefty Regulatory Fines: Avoiding a simple load rework can result in thousands of dollars in state and federal penalties.
-
Missed Delivery Windows: A “Red Tag” detention can lead to rejected loads and breached contracts with your shippers.
We arrive on-site with the necessary rigging to secure your freight, ensuring you pass inspection and return to the road with a balanced, legal, and safe configuration.
Ron Durst
A professional and responsive company. They went above and beyond towing my car to the mechanic. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would recommend to anyone.

Hansen Towing did a great job communicating, showing up on time, and handling my car with care. Very professional service and friendly too.
Monica I.
The most personable staff and reliable service. I was rescued when my rental car broke down. They even came out at midnight to get the handicap placard out of the rental car that I had forgotten.
