Specialty Transport Help
Equipment / Specialty Transport in Wake County, NC
Silver Lining Towing & Recovery moves selected equipment and nonstandard items on the rollback across Wake County and nearby communities. Whether an item is a fit depends on its size, weight, how it loads, and how it secures.
Family-owned, local help focused on planning the load, checking the fit, and choosing the right securement.
Equipment and Nonstandard Items on the Rollback
Equipment / Specialty Transport covers items that need to ride on the rollback instead of a standard vehicle tow. Forklifts, skid steers, tractors, large mechanic's toolboxes, and construction or concrete equipment are common examples. These are examples, not a promise that every item fits: the size, the weight, and how an item loads and secures all affect whether it works on the rollback. The item does not have to roll, steer, or brake. Share what you have and we will tell you whether it fits or whether it is a better job for a specialist carrier.

- Moving a forklift, skid steer, tractor, large mechanic's toolbox, or similar item.

Equipment / Specialty Transport FAQ
-
What kinds of equipment or items do you move?
Common examples include forklifts, skid steers, tractors, large mechanic's toolboxes, and construction or concrete equipment. These are examples, not a promise that every item fits, so similar items are reviewed individually.
-
What size or weight can go on the rollback?
As a rough guideline, items up to around 13,000 pounds and about 20 feet long and 10 feet wide are typically the range that fits on the rollback. Actual fit depends on the item, and larger or heavier jobs may need a specialist carrier.
-
Does the item have to roll, steer, or brake?
No. The item does not have to roll, steer, or brake to be loaded on the rollback. Tell us how the item sits and moves so we can plan the loading.
-
Who loads and unloads the item?
We normally handle loading and unloading. If you have a forklift available, you are welcome to load or unload the item yourself.
-
What should I send before scheduling?
At a minimum, share the approximate size and weight. The item type, pickup, and destination help too, and a photo can help but is not required.
-
How is the item secured?
Securement depends on the load. Depending on the item, it is secured with straps or with chains and binders.
-
When would a specialist carrier be needed?
Some items are larger, heavier, or more awkward to load than the rollback guidelines allow. Those are evaluated case by case, and we will tell you if the job is a better fit for a specialist carrier.
