How do winch-outs work?
When a vehicle slides off the road, we use the wrecker's integrated winch to pull it back onto the pavement. On a soft shoulder that takes 15–30 minutes. On a steep embankment or canyon roll, it takes careful anchor work and rigging — sometimes 1–2 hours. We explain what we see and what we are going to do before starting.
