Rotator Service | Heavy Lifting

A rotator service uses a heavy-duty tow truck equipped with a hydraulic, 360° rotating boom and powerful winches — not your usual flatbed or wheel-lift. That lets us lift, reposition, or upright oversized or overturned trucks and equipment, rather than just drag a simple vehicle behind us.

Ask for a rotator when the vehicle or equipment is too large or heavy for a normal tow — like semi-trailers, buses or heavy machinery; if a truck is overturned, stuck in a ditch, or needs precise lifting in a cramped or unsafe space.

We treat every rotator call as urgent. While exact times depend on traffic and location, Southside Wrecker keeps heavy-duty units ready in Newnan so we often reach accident or equipment-recovery scenes as quickly as possible after your call.

Our rotator handles heavy-duty rigs — semis, trailers, buses, large commercial trucks — and even industrial equipment or machinery. Because of its lifting power and flexibility, it can also lift or reposition containers, heavy gear, or trapped vehicles.

Pricing depends on vehicle or load size, complexity of the recovery (e.g. overturned load vs simple tow), distance to travel, and time/effort required. Because each job is unique, we provide a custom estimate after assessing the situation rather than a fixed price.

Yes — our rotator uses modern heavy-duty hydraulics, outriggers or stabilizers, and lifting controls designed for safe heavy-lift operations. Our crew is trained and experienced to follow strict safety procedures when handling heavy vehicles or equipment.

Stay safe — keep a safe distance from fallen or overturned vehicles, turn on hazard lights, and avoid standing near traffic or unstable loads. If safe, move away from the scene and wait until trained technicians arrive and take over.

Yes — because the rotator lifts or repositions heavy vehicles precisely using boom and winch systems instead of dragging or brute-force pulling, there’s far less risk of causing further damage. It’s the safest method for big rigs or overturned equipment.

We serve throughout Newnan and the surrounding Metro Atlanta area, ready to handle heavy-lift recoveries locally. If your location is outside our standard zone, call us — we’ll assess and advise whether we can deploy the rotator to your site.
