When lifting heavy objects, a crane is an essential piece of equipment. Of course, you’ll see cranes used for construction or industrial purposes, but Team Pro-Tow uses them for other tough jobs.

When your commercial breaks down and you need support, calling a tow-truck is likely the first response. But it’s not just any tow truck that will show up to help with your emergency towing.
