equipment towing for construction and industrial machinery in Los Angeles

When your bobcat breaks down mid-project or a forklift stops running at a Los Angeles jobsite, you need equipment moved quickly without adding rental costs or delays. CJ's Tow & Transport handles heavy duty equipment towing across Los Angeles, bringing the right truck and rigging to move machinery that standard tow services cannot handle. We work with construction crews, warehouses, and rental yards that need bobcats, forklifts, and diggers relocated when they fail or when a project wraps unexpectedly.

Heavy duty equipment towing involves securing machines that weigh several thousand pounds and have uneven weight distribution, exposed hydraulics, and tracks or wheels that may not roll freely. Our trucks use winches, chains, and flatbed positioning to load equipment without damaging attachments or undercarriages. Whether your digger is stuck in soft ground or your forklift lost power in a loading dock, we assess the machine, stabilize it, and transport it to your repair shop or storage yard.

If you need a bobcat, forklift, or digger moved in Los Angeles, contact us to confirm equipment specs and pickup location.

We begin by confirming the type of equipment, its weight, and whether it rolls or needs to be winched onto the flatbed. In Los Angeles, many jobsites have limited access or uneven terrain, so we plan the approach based on your location and the condition of the machine. Our driver arrives with a flatbed or heavy duty wrecker equipped with chains, straps, and a winch system rated for the load.

Once the equipment is loaded and secured, you will notice it sits level on the bed with no strain on the boom, bucket, or forks. The machine is chained at multiple points to prevent shifting during transport, and any loose attachments are either removed or tied down separately. You receive confirmation when the equipment arrives at the destination, whether that is a repair facility, another jobsite, or long-term storage.

We do not perform mechanical repairs or diagnostics on the equipment itself. Our role is to move the machine safely from one location to another without causing additional damage. If your equipment is leaking fluids or has structural damage, let us know during scheduling so we can bring containment materials and adjust rigging as needed.

What Happens When We Tow Heavy Machinery

Most people who need heavy equipment towed have not arranged this type of service before, and they want to know what information we need, how long it takes, and whether their machine can be moved in its current condition.

• What types of heavy equipment can you tow? We tow bobcats, forklifts, diggers, and similar construction or industrial machines that weigh up to several tons. If your equipment has tracks, wheels, or skid plates, we can usually move it as long as you provide the make, model, and approximate weight.
• How How do you load equipment that does not roll? We use a powered winch system mounted on the flatbed to pull the machine onto the truck. The winch cable attaches to a tow point on the equipment, and we control the speed to avoid jerking or tipping during the pull.
• How long does it take to pick up and transport a bobcat in Los Angeles? Pickup and loading typically take thirty to forty-five minutes depending on site access and machine condition. Transport time depends on distance, but most moves within Los Angeles are completed within two hours from arrival to drop-off.
• What happens if my forklift is stuck in mud or soft ground? We assess the ground conditions and use winching techniques to pull the forklift onto stable ground or directly onto the flatbed if safe. In some cases, we coordinate with your crew to use other equipment for initial extraction before towing.
  
• Do you tow equipment with attachments still connected? We can tow equipment with attachments as long as they are secure and do not exceed height or weight limits for transport. If an attachment is loose or adds risk during loading, we ask that you remove it or we will secure it separately on the bed.
