Tim's heavy wreckers are equipped to handle loads up to 80,000 lbs or more, covering the full range of loaded commercial vehicles a fleet manager or dispatcher is likely to move. That capacity puts fully loaded semi-trucks and tractor-trailers well within the scope of a routine dispatch call.

That controlled approach is especially critical for loaded tractor-trailers where shifting weight can complicate a straightforward tow.
