When you’re on the road transporting heavy cargo, time is money—and safety is everything.

That’s when you call Alpha Auto Towing, available 24 hours a day at (860) 885-4611.
What Is a Load Shift?
A load shift happens when the freight inside a trailer or flatbed becomes unbalanced or moves during transit. This can cause:
- Dangerous weight distribution
- Suspension issues
- Risk of rollover or jackknifing
- DOT violations and road delays
Even a minor shift can create serious problems, especially for semi-trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles.
What Is a Load Transfer?
If your trailer is overweight or damaged, or if the load must be moved from one vehicle to another to continue the journey safely, a load transfer is required. This process involves redistributing or offloading the cargo—quickly and safely—without damaging it.
🚚 How Wreckers Are Used for Load Shifts & Transfers
Wreckers are powerful recovery trucks equipped to handle heavy lifting, repositioning, and recovery operations. Here’s how they help during load shift and transfer events:
1. Stabilizing the Vehicle
Before adjusting the load, a wrecker is used to secure and stabilize the truck or trailer to prevent further damage or tipping.
2. Using Winches and Booms
Hydraulic winches and rotator booms can carefully lift and reposition freight, containers, or pallets that have moved or fallen within the trailer.
3. Lifting Damaged or Overloaded Trailers
If the load has made the trailer unsafe to drive, wreckers can lift or support the unit while freight is removed or transferred.
4. On-Site Transfer to Another Trailer
With forklifts and wreckers working together, Alpha Auto Towing can assist with on-site transfers, moving cargo to another vehicle or staging it for temporary storage.
