Why Choose an Industrial Carrier (vs Light- or Heavy-Duty)
-
Versatility — Industrial Carriers offer a middle ground: strong enough for serious hauling and transport tasks, yet more maneuverable, economical, and easier to maintain than heavy-duty wreckers or rotators.
-
Cost-Efficiency — With structural capacity up to 30,000 lbs, you get high value without paying for overkill when heavy-duty recoveries aren’t needed.
-
Lower Maintenance & Practical Design — Durable deck construction, reliable winches, and optional wheel-lift give practical flexibility for towing, transport, or service applications.
-
Ideal for Fleet or Service Operators — Perfect for businesses that need a dependable rollback/carrier for frequent, day-to-day hauling without the expense of heavy-duty recovery gear.
