Winch Out Service in Berwyn IL
Berwyn Towing Pros routinely does winch outs for drivers that are in a tight spot – literally. This service is needed when vehicles are in an inaccessible area. Most of the time, no damages have been done, but it’s impossible or dangerous to attempt to drive the vehicle out on their own.
Most times, a customer can drive their car away from the scene of the winch out. However, that’s not always the case. Weather conditions like snow and heavy rain can cause drivers to get stuck in a snowbank or thick mud. We also do winch outs for automobiles that have run off in ditches or bodies of water.
Getting into a situation like this is easier than you might think, unfortunately. But our team is always here to help!

Need a Winch Out?
A winch is a simple yet powerful mechanism. All of them consist of the same basic parts:
· A large metal drum for storing the cable or rope
· A cable or wire rope, attached at one end to the drum. On the other end, a large metal hook for attaching to the tow hooks of a vehicle
· A hydraulic motor that slowly retracts the cable at a rate of approximately 10-50 ft/min, depending on the type
The drum is secured to our tow truck and is operated by a trained professional. All of our winches are guaranteed for 10,000 lbs and the largest for up to 50,000 lbs, so we can handle practically any job with ease.

24 Hour Winch out Service
Winch out services should always be done by professionals like those at Berwyn Towing Pros. Serious damages could be done to your vehicle when a simple winch out was all you needed. For example, many vehicles have handy tow hooks for just such occasions. If a vehicle does not have tow hooks, the axle or certain parts of the suspension system can be used. A pro will know which parts of your vehicle are strong enough to handle the pressure of a winch out.
The major reason to call a professional is that our tow trucks have the equipment to extract your vehicle safely. This includes gloves, ‘Accident Ahead’ signage, and tire chains that supply additional grip to the road. Calling your buddy who owns a small, personal winch won’t guarantee you the safety and protection that we can!
These services may be necessary after heavy snow or flood, but it’s far more common for us to winch out an automobile due to accidents. Off-roaders are used to getting stuck, so many recreation vehicles have a small winch pre-mounted or installed after purchase, but this may not be enough to get them out of a really bad place.
Regular highway drivers can attribute the need for winch outs to lack of attention, being run off the road, or swerving to avoiding an accident. Thankfully, you may be ok, but getting your car, truck or SUV back on the road is going to take some professional help.
Our staff and drivers asks you to be careful out there! And when you need a safe, professional winch out service, call us first!
