Heavy-Duty Towing & Transport in Charleston, SC
Equipment, machinery, boats, sheds, and heavy recovery, the jobs most tow companies turn down, run by the same Ravenel crew.
Moving big stuff isn't like moving a car. Heavy hauling is a different discipline: specialized equipment, careful rigging, detailed planning, and patience. Most tow companies turn this work down. We do both the everyday towing and the heavy hauling from one yard in Ravenel.
We're a DOT-registered carrier (US DOT #2924553), licensed and insured for the big jobs. Whether it's an excavator moving between job sites, a boat headed to Edisto, or a bus that won't move, we've got the trucks and the know-how to get it there safely and on time.

The Right Truck for the Weight
Heavy work lives and dies on equipment. A rollback handles cars, sheds, containers, and small machines. The heavy wrecker takes on semis, buses, RVs, and loaded trailers a standard truck can't touch. Winches, rigging, and the experience to place a load so it rides balanced and safe are what separate a real heavy-duty operation from a tow company that says yes and figures it out later. We tell you up front which truck your job needs, and what it can and can't do.
Permits, Weights, and Honest Limits
Some loads run wide or heavy enough to need a permit or an escort, and some are simply beyond one truck. Give us the weight and dimensions and we'll tell you straight what your move takes, whether that's a permit, a crane on your end, or a job that needs more than we run. We'd rather turn down work we can't do safely than promise it and put your equipment or the public at risk. That honesty is why contractors, dealers, and fleets around Charleston and Colleton County keep our number saved.
Charleston Heavy-Duty & Transport FAQ
What's the biggest thing you can move?
We handle serious weight: loaded semis, buses, RVs, construction machinery, and boats up to about 30 feet. Call with the details of your load and we'll tell you straight whether it's in our range or beyond us.
Do you handle oversized or permitted loads?
Give us the dimensions and we'll tell you what your load needs, permits and escorts included when the job calls for it. We're a DOT-registered carrier, and we're honest up front about anything that's beyond what we run.
How far will you transport?
Our home range is Charleston and Colleton County and the sea islands, but we're not limited to it. We've moved vehicles hundreds of miles. Tell us the pickup, the destination, and the load, and we'll tell you if we can do it.
Can you move a machine or vehicle that doesn't run?
Yes. A lot of what we haul doesn't run, roll, or steer. We use winches and the right rigging to load non-operational equipment safely. Just tell us its condition when you call so we come set up for it.
How heavy can you haul?
From compact skid steers to full-size excavators, plus boats, sheds, and containers. Tell us the weight and dimensions and we'll confirm the right truck and trailer.
Do you set up accounts for contractors?
Yes. If you move equipment regularly, an account makes recurring hauls fast and billing clean. A local insurance agency already refers all its clients to us.
