What Is a Winch Out?

A winch out is a recovery service used to pull a heavy vehicle such as a semi-truck, tractor-trailer, or equipment out of a stuck or immobile position. Heavy duty winch outs are typically needed when a truck is off the roadway, stuck in mud, snow, a ditch, or unable to move due to mechanical failure. Our certified operators use specialized recovery equipment and heavy wreckers to safely pull your unit out without causing additional damage.

Winch Out FAQs

Our winch out FAQs cover the most common questions about safely recovering stuck semi-trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment. Learn how our certified heavy-duty team handles ditch pulls, mud extractions, snow recoveries, and roadside emergencies—24/7 across Kansas.

  • 1. Do you offer winch outs for fully loaded semi-trucks?

    Yes. Our heavy duty wreckers and rotators can safely recover loaded tractor-trailers, tankers, dump trucks, and more.

  • Can you recover a truck stuck in mud or soft ground?

    Absolutely. We specialize in mud recovery, soft shoulder pull outs, and off-road extractions from job sites and farm fields. Kansas towing regulations prohibit combination towing of disabled commercial vehicles. For safety and compliance, your truck and trailer must be moved separately.

  • What should I do if my semi is stuck in snow or ice?

    Stay in your cab, stay visible, and call us immediately. We perform snowbank winch outs, icy ditch recoveries, and winter storm extractions.

  • Can you winch out a jackknifed semi-truck?

    Yes. Our rotator and recovery operators are trained in jackknife recovery with minimal damage.

  • Will winching damage my truck or trailer?

    No. We use damage free recovery techniques, proper rigging, and heavy duty equipment designed for commercial vehicles.

  • Do you recover trucks from rural or farm roads?

    Yes — we regularly pull out rigs from gravel roads, field entrances, feedlots, and construction sites.

  • What information do I need to provide when I call?

    A quick description of:

    • Your truck type
    • Whether you’re loaded
    • How much you weigh
    • What you’re stuck in (snow, mud, ditch, etc.)
    • Your exact location or GPS pin
