Heavy-Duty Winches

We use snatch blocks to change pulling angles and double our pulling power when needed. Heavy-duty recovery straps distribute force without damaging your vehicle.
Air Cushions & Jacks
For vehicles stuck in soft terrain, we use air cushions and specialized jacks to lift and stabilize before extraction.
4x4 Recovery Vehicles
Our fleet includes 4x4-capable tow trucks that can access off-road locations other tow companies can't reach.
Our Off-Road Recovery Process
1. Assessment
We carefully evaluate the situation, terrain conditions, vehicle position, and best extraction method to minimize damage.
2. Safety Setup
We establish a safe work zone, set up proper lighting if needed, and position recovery equipment for optimal results.
3. Strategic Recovery
Using the appropriate equipment and techniques, we execute the recovery with controlled, steady force to prevent damage.
4. Inspection & Transport
Once recovered, we inspect your vehicle for any damage and provide transport to your destination or repair facility if needed.
