Excellent Service Since 195924/7 Air-Cushion Recovery Services
When a fully loaded semi-truck, tanker, or bus rolls over, conventional winching can cause thousands of dollars in structural frame damage or force costly cargo offloading. Floyd's Towing utilizes advanced air-cushion recovery technology to safely upright overturned heavy vehicles quickly, softly, and without damaging your freight. Air-Cushion Recovery services provide a crucial, non-destructive solution for safely recovering heavy machinery and equipment.
Zero Cargo Offloading
Uprights fully loaded 80,000 lbs. tractor-trailers without needing to manually unstack cargo or break security seals on the highway.
Even Weight Distribution
Distributes low-pressure lifting power across large surface areas to protect delicate aluminum bodies, composite trailers, and tank shells.
Tight-Space Capability
Ideal for tight highway shoulders, soft soil fields, muddy ditches, and confined industrial yards where traditional heavy cranes can't position safely.
How Air-Cushion Recovery Works
Site & Rigging Assessment
Our certified recovery team secures the scene, assesses vehicle center-of-gravity, and slides deflated heavy-duty air bags under structural contact points.
Controlled Low-Pressure Inflation
High-volume air compressors inflate the bags simultaneously, gently lifting the overturned unit off the ground without applying concentrated point-stress.
Guided Mechanical Uprighting
In coordination with rotator cranes or heavy wreckers, the vehicle is seamlessly pivoted back onto its wheels with zero impact shock.
Immediate Transport & Highway Clearing
Once uprighted, our crew readies the unit for immediate towing or highway clearance to minimize lane closure times.
