You might be halfway through grading a lot or hauling materials when something goes wrong. One dead bulldozer or a jammed-up dump truck, and the rest of your crew stands still. On rural job sites or busy access roads around Hickory, recovery needs to happen fast—and it needs to happen right.
Coastal Towing Service delivers professional heavy machinery towing backed by decades of experience. We don’t just send a truck and hope it fits. Each job is matched to the right equipment from our fleet: rotators, winch-outs, wreckers, and assigned to a certified operator who’s seen it before. We’ve recovered compactors from construction mud, loaders from side slopes, and farming equipment from areas other carriers won’t even approach. One call brings a complete plan, not a patch job.
Sometimes, machines that don’t roll still need to move. Heavy equipment can’t ride just anywhere. Oversized loads and non-running gear like pavers, graders, and broken-back trailers need more than just clearance; they need coordination. From site to destination, every step requires planning.
Coastal Towing Service is built for that challenge. Our heavy towing team knows the roads in and around Hickory, the rules, and the routing requirements. With Landolls, lowboys, and heavy tow trucks in our rotation, we handle oversized loads without relying on guesswork. We coordinate permits, prep the site, and get your machine moving. Let us handle your scheduled transport or breakdown. We will get to you fast, with trained eyes and no skipped steps.
When machines can’t be driven on public roads or are too heavy for common carriers, the challenge isn’t just moving them. It’s doing so without delay, damage, or fines. We’ve built a system that handles size, scale, and stress without improvisation. Because large-scale equipment moves demand structure, not shortcuts. And in construction, agriculture, or industrial projects, delays cost more than just your valuable time.
At Coastal Towing Service, we handle heavy machinery transport with structure. That starts with our fleet, which includes Landolls, flatbeds, and heavy tow trucks, built for payloads that push the limits. But what makes the difference is how we operate: detailed loading plans, experienced riggers, and precise routing that avoids unnecessary holds or inspections. From tracked machinery that won’t roll to wheeled equipment that’s stuck in park, we know how to load it, how to haul it, and how to deliver it ready for the next job.
Unstable ground and heavy gear don’t mix well: ditches, sinkholes, and soft fields can trap even the best machines. And once that gear is stuck, calling the wrong tow service can turn a recovery into a bigger mess. You need experience, not just horsepower. Coastal Towing handles heavy equipment recovery in Hickory with discipline. From the moment we arrive, our operators assess weight, angle, surface, and safety zones.
