The rotator and the wreckers come from the same yard
When a tow turns into a recovery you do not call a second company. We escalate the call ourselves and you see one vendor on the invoice.

FAQ
Straight answers
What is a rotator tow truck?
A rotator is a heavy wrecker with a boom that rotates 360 degrees and lifts off the side of the truck, supported by hydraulic outriggers. It uprights overturned trucks, lifts vehicles and machines out of ditches, and sets loads down with precision, which a straight-boom wrecker cannot do. Ours is rated at 50 tons.
How much does rotator service cost in Houston?
Rotator work is billed by time and equipment: the rotator and crew, any support units, and consumables, usually with a minimum. Public benchmarks for heavy non-consent tows in Houston run in the hundreds of dollars per hour per unit, and full rollover recoveries with cargo transfer run into the thousands. We quote before we roll and itemize after. See our rates page for how billing works.
Do you only do rotator jobs?
No. We tow semis, buses, and equipment every day, and the rotator is there for the calls that need it.
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes. We work with carriers, TPAs, and independent adjusters, provide itemized invoices and photo documentation, and coordinate salvage and storage under TDLR rules.
