Heavy Duty Recovery Services

24/7 Heavy Recovery for Semis, Trailers, Equipment & Cargo Incidents

Some recovery scenes are far beyond a simple heavy duty tow. A rolled semi, a trailer hanging off an embankment, a piece of equipment buried in soft ground, or a cargo spill blocking traffic all have one thing in common: they require a heavy-duty recovery company you can trust. 

Strickland Towing & Tire Service provides 24/7 heavy-duty recovery throughout South Central Kansas and Northern Oklahoma for commercial vehicles, trailers, heavy equipment, cargo incidents, and off-road recoveries. With more than 1,000 heavy-duty accidents and recovery scenes handled, our team is equipped for large-scale incidents where experience, planning, and equipment depth matter.

Call 620-892-5232 for heavy recovery. We are ready to dispatch to your location 7 days a week, at any time.

Heavy Recovery for Truck and Trailer Incidents

Commercial vehicle incidents create pressure quickly. Freight delays, blocked lanes, exposed cargo, damaged trailers, and limited roadside access all affect how the recovery should be approached. Strickland gets the situation organized, recovers the unit, and helps the next move happen. That includes recovery support for many different incident types:

Rollover & Jackknife Recovery

Rollovers and jackknifed tractor-trailers need powerful equipment and transport assets. We can deploy multiple rotators, winches, lowboys, and drop-necks, as the situation requires.

Leaning, Sinking, or Dropped Trailers

A leaning or dropped trailer puts cargo, landing gear, and nearby equipment at risk. We assess weight, surface, and trailer position before setting the recovery plan.

Low Bridge & Clearance Recoveries

A trailer caught under a low bridge needs careful extraction, not a hard pull. We evaluate the contact point, damage, load, and clearance before moving the unit.

Road Tractor Swap-Outs

We can support tractor swap-outs when the trailer and cargo need to keep moving. Because a disabled tractor does not always mean the load has to stop.

Heavy Winching for the Places Tow Trucks Can’t Reach

Heavy recovery is often shaped by where the vehicle comes to rest. Ditches, embankments, flooded areas, soft fields, and unstable ground all change the recovery plan.

Ditch & Embankment Winch-Outs

We set the recovery based on the vehicle's position and slope. Large trucks and equipment sitting below grade need the right anchor points, line angle, and pulling power.

Soft-Ground Recovery

Mud, sand, and unstable ground can pull the weight down and limit access. Heavy wreckers, winching systems, and support equipment help recover stuck units without rushing the pull.

Submerged & Underwater Recovery

Water recovery introduces access, depth, environmental, and vehicle-position concerns. We assess the scene before starting recovery and bring the equipment needed for the conditions.

Load Handling & Cargo Recovery Services

Heavy recovery scenes frequently involve cargo handling in addition to vehicle recovery. Improper load balance, freight shifting, or damaged trailers can significantly complicate the recovery process.
Strickland provides:

  • Cargo load shift correction
  • Load swaps & transfers
  • Decking & undecking
  • Cargo recovery coordination
  • Trailer repositioning
  • Freight stabilization support

These services help reduce additional delays when cargo movement becomes part of the incident.

When Heavy Equipment Needs Recovery Support

Heavy recovery is not limited to highway incidents. Strickland also recovers and transports heavy equipment and industrial machinery from job sites, industrial properties, and off-road environments.

We regularly recover:

  • Excavators
  • Forklifts
  • Skid steers
  • Boom lifts
  • HVAC units
  • Steel coils
  • Agricultural equipment
  • Factory machinery

Recovery planning depends on equipment weight, terrain conditions, loading access, and transport requirements.

Heavy Recovery Across the Routes to Keep the Region Moving

We dispatch from Braman, South Haven, Wellington, and Wichita, with recovery coverage across South Central Kansas and North Central Oklahoma. 

Our operators know the freight routes, rural roads, farm access points, job sites, industrial areas, and traffic patterns that shape heavy recovery work in this region. We cover major travel corridors including I-35, I-135, the Kansas Turnpike, US-54, US-81, US-77, and US-166.

That local knowledge matters when a recovery scene is hard to access, traffic is building, or equipment is sitting off-road with limited room to work. We use the location, vehicle position, load details, and access conditions to plan the response before the recovery crew heads out.
