Heavy recovery for loaded tractor-trailers.
Rollovers, shifted loads, and disabled semis on I-80 and the highways around Grand Island. Rotators, heavy wreckers, air cushions, and load transfer equipment, dispatched 24/7 from a yard on US-281.
One company for the whole scene
When a loaded truck goes down, the job is rarely just a tow. The unit may need to be uprighted, the freight moved to another trailer, the scene cleared, and the equipment stored until your team decides what's next. We handle all of it with our own trucks and crew, so your office has one point of contact from the first call to the final invoice.
What we handle
- Rollover recovery. Uprighting loaded tractors and trailers with rotators and air cushions, then recovering the load.
- Air cushion recovery. A complete air cushion setup lifts overturned trailers with less damage to the unit and the cargo.
- Load shifts and load transfers. We correct shifted loads and move freight to another trailer using our own semi tractors and trailers.
- Heavy-duty towing. Tractors, loaded trailers, reefer units, and dry vans, plus trailer decking and un-decking.
- Secure storage. A full recovery and storage facility for units and dry loads.
- Winch outs and pull starts. Stuck or disabled units on the shoulder, in the median, or off the road.
The equipment behind it
Our heavy fleet includes 2 rotators, 3 heavy-duty wreckers, 3 semi tractors, 4 equipment hauling trailers, and a heavy-duty flatbed, along with a complete air cushion setup and load transfer equipment. Having it all under one roof means we don't have to wait on a second company to finish the job.
Close to the interstate
Our yard is at 3405 N US Hwy 281 in Grand Island. US-281 runs straight south to I-80 Exit 312, so heavy units head directly for the interstate. We also run US-281 north and south of Grand Island, Nebraska Highway 2, and throughout Hall County.
What to tell dispatch
- Where the unit is: mile marker, direction, or nearest exit.
- What happened: rollover, jackknife, disabled, stuck, or load shift.
- What's on board: loaded or empty, reefer or dry van, and any hazardous materials placards.
- Who to bill, or your fleet account name if you have one with us.
Questions about heavy recovery
Can a trucking company request Kramer's after a wreck?
Yes. Have your driver or dispatcher ask for Kramer's by name and call us directly at (308) 384-1116. Officers on scene make the final call on who responds, so ask early. A fleet account set up ahead of time makes it faster.
Do you tow loaded tractor-trailers?
Yes. Our heavy-duty wreckers and rotators handle tractors and loaded trailers, including reefer units and dry vans, plus trailer decking and un-decking.
Can you handle a rollover with a loaded trailer?
Yes. We bring rotators, a complete air cushion setup, and load transfer equipment, plus our own semi tractors and trailers to move the freight. We can hold dry loads in secure storage while your team decides next steps.
Do you do load shifts and load transfers?
Yes. We correct shifted loads and transfer freight to another trailer so it keeps moving.
