Commercial and Industrial Heavy Lifting
Heavy lifting requires careful planning, the appropriate equipment and precise control throughout the operation. Our team evaluates the load, weight, working area, required reach and intended placement before developing a lifting plan.
Whether the project involves positioning new equipment, relocating machinery or lifting a damaged commercial vehicle, we coordinate the equipment and personnel needed to complete the work safely and efficiently.
Heavy-Duty Lifting May Be Used For:
- Commercial vehicle lifting
- Heavy equipment lifting
- Industrial machinery repositioning
- Construction equipment placement
- Generator and compressor placement
- HVAC unit lifting
- Trailer stacking and unstacking
- Load shifts and cargo transfers
- Accident and rollover recovery
- Emergency lifting operations
Heavy Equipment Lifting
Construction and industrial equipment may need to be lifted for placement, transport, repair or recovery. Our team can assist with machinery at job sites, commercial properties, equipment yards and industrial facilities.
Equipment We Lift and Reposition Includes:
- Excavators and backhoes
- Bulldozers and loaders
- Forklifts and telehandlers
- Generators and compressors
- HVAC equipment
- Industrial machinery
- Trailers and containers
- Other heavy commercial components
Equipment Placement and Repositioning
Getting equipment to a property is only part of the job. Large machinery and commercial components may also require controlled lifting and precise placement at the final destination.
Our operators work with contractors, project managers and facility representatives to position equipment while accounting for access limitations, overhead obstructions, ground conditions and the surrounding work area.
Rotator Lifting Services
Our 75-ton and 60-ton rotator wreckers provide the lifting power, reach and control needed for demanding commercial and industrial projects. Their rotating booms allow our operators to lift from multiple angles while positioning the truck in an appropriate working location.
Depending on site conditions, rotators may be used outside buildings, within industrial facilities or in other restricted-access locations where conventional lifting equipment may be difficult to position.
Load Shifts and Transfers
Shifted or unstable cargo can prevent a commercial vehicle from traveling safely. Goch & Sons Towing provides lifting assistance for load shifts, cargo repositioning and transfers between trucks or trailers.
Our rotators may be used with forklifts, loaders and other support equipment to stabilize and reposition cargo. Once the load is corrected or transferred, we can help prepare the vehicle and cargo for continued transportation.
Emergency Heavy Recovery Lifts
Accidents, rollovers and equipment failures can leave heavy vehicles or machinery in unstable or inaccessible positions. Our 24/7 dispatch team coordinates emergency lifting support for tractor-trailers, buses, construction equipment and other heavy vehicles.
Emergency Lifting May Be Needed For:
- Overturned semi-trucks and trailers
- Damaged commercial vehicles
- Vehicles blocking roadways or access points
- Equipment stuck in mud or soft ground
- Vehicles located in ditches or embankments
- Heavy cargo involved in an accident
- Machinery requiring emergency repositioning
