Heavy-Duty Recovery

Loaded Reefer Down on the I-17 Grade

I-17 northbound climb, north of Phoenix

A refrigerated tractor-trailer at full highway weight lost its drive on the northbound grade — shoulder-parked, loaded, and blocking the breakdown lane on one of Arizona’s busiest climbs.

On a loaded combination vehicle there is no shortcut: the scene gets shielded first, the load is confirmed stable, the brakes are caged, and the driveline comes out before anything is hooked. Our operator rigged to the manufacturer’s tow points and brought the full combination off the grade without a scratch on the tractor.

The freight kept its cold chain, the carrier kept its schedule, and the interstate kept moving — which is the whole job on a call like this.

Motorcoach Recovery with Passengers Aboard

Arizona highway — statewide response

A 45-foot tour motorcoach went down mid-route with a full passenger list and a schedule falling apart. A coach recovery is a people problem before it is a towing job.

First priority: passengers safe, clear, and moving — coordinated with the driver and the tour company before the recovery began. Then the towing problem: motorcoaches are long, heavy, and air-braked, so the coach came up on an extended underlift rigged to the manufacturer’s points, protecting the rear-mounted drivetrain and the low-hanging bodywork.

The coach reached the shop intact, the passengers reached their destination, and the operator kept a customer.

Scissor Lifts Moved Site-to-Site on the Landoll

Phoenix metro — job site to job site

An equipment customer needed JCB scissor lifts moved between projects — machines that sit low, weigh thousands of pounds, and can’t climb a standard tow ramp without risk.

This is what the Landoll traveling-axle trailer exists for: the whole deck tilts to the ground and the axles travel forward, so the lift loads at a low, gentle angle and settles onto a flat deck — no steep ramps, no scraped machine, no nervous inches.

Chained at four corners, papers in order, delivered the same day. Rental houses and contractors run this move with us on a standing basis.

Statewide Response

Winter Recovery in the High Country

Arizona high country — snow and ice

Arizona’s high country freezes hard, and a heavy vehicle off the road in snow is a different job than the same recovery in the Valley. Our statewide heavy response doesn’t stop at the snow line.

Cold-weather recovery means chained-up approach, controlled winching on ice, and rigging that accounts for a load that may have shifted on the way off the road. The same Heavy Rescue crews that clear the I-17 grade run the winter calls up top — with the equipment already on the truck.

For carriers and agencies, the point is simple: one dispatch number covers the whole state, in every season.

White-Glove Flatbed for a Luxury SUV

East Valley

The other end of the fleet: a six-figure SUV that needed to move without gaining a single mark. Heavy iron gets the headlines, but careful is careful at every weight.

Soft straps through the wheels — never on the body or suspension — a shallow-angle load onto the flatbed, and photo documentation before and after. The same damage-free discipline our contract customers see on a $150,000 recovery applies to a $150 tow.

It’s why dealerships, collectors, and body shops in the East Valley keep our number.
