Lifting, Rigging and Recovery Equipment for Towing Professionals

Every towing and recovery job comes with its own challenges, which is why having the right lifting, rigging, and recovery equipment is essential for safety and efficiency. From stabilizing a recovery truck during a heavy pull to carefully uprighting a rolled vehicle, these tools give operators the control and confidence they need to get the job done right. At Zip’s, you’ll find a complete selection of professional-grade recovery gear designed for tow trucks, wreckers, and rotators of all sizes.

Why Recovery Operators Rely on Lifting and Rigging Tools

The towing and recovery industry depends on precision and strength. Investing in high-quality recovery equipment provides several advantages:

Safety First: Proper rigging gear ensures stability and reduces risk during demanding operations.
Efficiency in the Field: The right tools make recoveries faster and less labor-intensive.
Versatility: Equipment is designed to handle light-, medium-, and heavy-duty towing scenarios.
Durability: Built with reinforced materials to withstand extreme loads, harsh weather, and repeated use.

From uprighting vehicles after rollovers to stabilizing recovery trucks during heavy pulls, these tools are the foundation of any successful operation.

Types of Lifting and Rigging Equipment Available

Zip’s carries an extensive range of recovery equipment to match the needs of every operator. Within this category, you’ll find specialized subcategories designed for different recovery situations:

Anchor Spades – Provide stability by anchoring recovery vehicles during winching.
Snatch Blocks – Increase pulling power and control cable direction for complex recoveries.
Lifting and Landing Bags – High-pressure air bags assist with uprighting rolled vehicles while landing bags (catch bags) minimize secondary damage.
Outrigger Pads and Cribbing – Create a stable base for outriggers and lifting operations.
Side Pullers and Recovery Tools – Add versatility to recovery trucks by allowing controlled side pulls.
Spreader Bars and Hardware – Distribute load weight evenly during lifting operations.
Scotch Blocks – Provide additional holding power and prevent truck movement during winching.

Each product category serves a specific purpose, and when combined, they create a complete recovery system that ensures both operator safety and vehicle protection.

How to Choose the Right Recovery Equipment

Selecting lifting and rigging gear comes down to understanding your workload and equipment setup. Consider:

Recovery Capacity: Match tools to the size of your wrecker, rollback, or rotator.
Application Needs: Different scenarios—such as rollovers, uprighting, or controlled pulls—require different tools.
Storage and Transport: Compact options like alloy scotch blocks or modular spreader bars save space on the truck.
Frequency of Use: Heavy-duty gear is worth the investment if you’re performing large recoveries regularly.
Compatibility: Ensure equipment works with your existing winches, outriggers, and rigging hardware.

By choosing equipment tailored to your fleet and recovery style, you’ll maximize safety, efficiency, and return on investment.

FAQ: Lifting, Rigging and Recovery Equipment

What is lifting and rigging equipment used for in towing?
These tools are used to stabilize recovery trucks, increase pulling power, upright rolled vehicles, and ensure safe recovery operations.

How is recovery equipment different from basic towing gear?
While towing gear focuses on transport (straps, chains, wheel lifts), recovery equipment is designed for stabilization, controlled lifts, and complex winching operations.

Can lifting and rigging tools be used across different truck sizes?
Yes, but it’s important to choose equipment rated for your specific vehicle class—light-, medium-, or heavy-duty—to ensure safe operation.

How do I maintain recovery equipment?
Regular inspections for wear, damage, or deformation are key. Store equipment properly and replace any gear showing signs of stress or fatigue.
