What types of vehicles can Riverside Towing recover?

Passenger vehicles: Cars, SUVs, and motorcycles

Heavy-duty vehicles: Dump trucks, cement mixers, and buses
Agricultural equipment: Tractors, combines, and other farm implements
Recreational vehicles: RVs and motorhomes

When should I call for winching services instead of towing?
Winching is appropriate when your vehicle is immobilized but not damaged, such as:
Stuck in mud, snow, or sand
Off-road situations where the vehicle is not easily accessible
Vehicles that have slid into ditches or embankments
If the vehicle has sustained damage or is inoperable, towing may be the better option.
What is the process for up righting an overturned vehicle?
Up righting involves safely returning an overturned vehicle to its upright position. The process includes:
Assessment: Evaluating the vehicle’s position, weight, and surrounding hazards
Stabilization: Securing the vehicle to prevent further movement
Recovery: Using specialized equipment like rotator wreckers and air cushion systems to gently lift and reposition the vehicle
Post-recovery: Inspecting for leaks or damages and ensuring the area is safe
Our certified technicians follow strict safety protocols to minimize risks during the operation.
Can you recover agricultural equipment from muddy fields?
Yes, Riverside Towing specializes in agricultural implement recovery. We can extract:
Tractors and combines

Other farm machinery
Our team uses equipment designed to handle the unique challenges of rural terrains, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.
What should I do if my trailer has sunk into soft ground?
If your trailer has become sunken:
