Construction Equipment Transport of front loader for Heavy Towing San Antonio Team

Our heavy towing San Antonio team helped prepare a 135k pound front loader for a long distance trip last week. The front loader was on its way to Oregon. Due to its immense weight and the highways it had to travel on, the total weight needed to be reduced. This allowed our client to avoid getting a larger overweight permit.

Each tire weighed 5k pounds. The tires were also wide which made the front loader difficult to transport. So, Mission Wrecker removed the two, very large tires. Basically, we used one heavy wrecker to hold up the front axle to take the stress off.  We used a second heavy wrecker to lift the individual tires.

Thanks to Southern Tire Mart and everyone involved. Good job to the whole heavy towing, San Antonio team at Mission Wrecker.
