Heavy Recovery for Semis, Trailers, Equipment & Cargo Incidents

When a semi rolls over, a trailer jackknifes, or a commercial vehicle or piece of heavy equipment leaves the roadway, getting it recovered may involve several parts of the job. The vehicle may need to be uprighted or repositioned, cargo may need to be shifted or transferred, and damaged equipment may still need transport once the recovery is complete.

Blue Gray Towing has the equipment to handle each phase. Our heavy recovery fleet includes 35- and 50-ton rotators, heavy wreckers, and substantial winching capability, backed by cargo services for incidents involving the trailer or freight. We also operate a Landoll RGN lowboy and two drop-deck trailers to transport equipment and other loads after recovery.

We provide 24/7 heavy-duty recovery services throughout Western Maryland and South-Central Pennsylvania, and work alongside state police and fire departments on towing and recovery calls across the region.

Heavy Winching for Challenging Terrain

Getting a loaded truck or piece of heavy equipment back onto stable ground isn’t just a matter of pulling harder. The vehicle’s weight and position, the slope or condition of the ground, available recovery points, and where recovery trucks can be positioned determine how the job is approached.

Blue Gray Towing’s heavy wreckers, 35- and 50-ton rotators, and substantial winching capability give our operators options when a recovery requires more than a conventional tow. That includes the ability to reposition, upright, or recover heavy vehicles and equipment before towing or transport can begin. Call us for off-road recovery to get you back on track.

Services include:

Load swaps and transfers

Cargo recovery coordination

Trailer repositioning

Freight stabilization support

Heavy Equipment Recovery Support

Heavy machinery breaks down, gets stuck, and ends up in positions where it must be recovered before it can be transported. Blue Gray provides heavy winching and recovery for equipment throughout Western Maryland and South-Central Pennsylvania.

Once the equipment is recovered, our Landoll, RGN lowboy, and two drop-deck trailers provide heavy machinery transport options for moving the machine or its load to another location.
