Rotator Recovery Service Across Tampa Bay & Florida

What a rotator wrecker does, when you need one, and why fleets and agencies call CTS first.

A rotator is a heavy duty wrecker with a boom that rotates a full 360 degrees, which lets it lift and swing loads sideways instead of only pulling straight back. That is the difference between a quick recovery and a road closed for hours. Our 50 ton rotator can upright an overturned tractor trailer, lift a loaded truck out of a ditch, or set a piece of equipment back onto its trailer without dragging it.

CTS provides rotator towing and rotator recovery service for trucking companies, insurance carriers, law enforcement and DOT agencies throughout Tampa Bay, and we regularly respond across Florida for heavy recovery work. The rotator is dispatched 24/7 alongside our heavy wreckers and Landoll trailers, so the entire recovery, from uprighting to load transfer to the final tow, is handled by one crew.

Typical rotator jobs include overturned semis on I-4 and I-75, jackknifed trailers, load shifts, buses and RVs off the roadway, heavy equipment recovery on job sites, and vehicles in retention ponds and canals.

What is a 50 ton rotator?

A 50 ton rotator is a heavy duty tow truck with a rotating boom rated to lift 50 tons. The rotation allows the operator to recover vehicles from angles a straight boom wrecker cannot reach, which makes it the preferred tool for overturned trucks and off road recoveries.

Do you provide rotator service outside Tampa Bay?

Yes. Our rotator responds across Florida for heavy recovery when needed. Call dispatch with the location and we will give you a response time.

Can the rotator handle a loaded tractor trailer?

Yes. Uprighting and recovering loaded tractor trailers is the most common rotator job we run. We also handle load transfers and decking when the trailer cannot be moved as is.
