Accident Recovery & Winching

Accidents and stuck vehicles happen when you least expect them. Your car slides off the road into a ditch. You get stuck in mud or sand. Or worse, you're involved in a collision and your vehicle can't be driven. These situations require more than just a regular tow truck. They need specialized accident recovery and winching services. At ZippyLift Union Towing, we handle the tough situations. Our team has the equipment, training, and experience to recover your vehicle safely, no matter where it ended up.

What Accident Recovery and Winching Include

Recovery and winching go beyond standard towing. Here's what we handle:

• Off-Road Recovery: If your vehicle left the road and is stuck in a ditch, embankment, or field, we use winches to pull it back to solid ground.
• Accident Scene Cleanup: After a collision, we safely remove damaged vehicles from the scene so traffic can flow again.
• Vehicles Stuck in Mud, Sand, or Snow: If you're stuck and spinning your wheels isn't helping, our winch equipment pulls you out.
• Rollover Recovery: If your vehicle flipped, we have the equipment to upright it and transport it safely.
• Parking Lot and Garage Recoveries: Vehicles stuck in tight spaces or damaged in parking structures.

Why Accident Recovery Takes Specialized Skills

You can't just hook a chain to a stuck vehicle and yank it out. That's how you cause more damage. Proper accident recovery requires careful planning and the right approach. Here's what makes it challenging:

Assessing the Situation

Before we do anything, we evaluate the scene. How far off the road is your car? What's the angle? Is the ground stable? We figure out the safest way to recover your vehicle without putting anyone at risk.

Using Winch Equipment Properly

A winch uses a steel cable or synthetic rope to pull your vehicle. If it's used incorrectly, it can snap and cause serious injury or damage. Our team knows how to anchor the winch, set the right tension, and pull your car out smoothly.

Protecting Your Vehicle

Even in a recovery situation, we're careful. We attach winch cables to strong points on your vehicle's frame, not fragile parts like bumpers or exhaust pipes. This prevents additional damage during the recovery.
