Heavy Duty Towing in Lowell, IN

Heavy Duty Towing in Lowell serves a southern Lake County town of 10,680 people (2020 census), settled in 1834, platted in 1853 and incorporated on June 27, 1868. It was named after Lowell, Massachusetts. Lowell sits at the rural edge of Lake County. Tractor-trailers, dump trucks, and farm and construction equipment all need recovery here. Call (219) 529-2610.

State Road 2 is the main route

SR 2 begins at the Illinois line where Illinois Route 17 ends and runs northeast. According to its route description, SR 2 shares about 2.64 miles with US 41, runs concurrently with SR 55 for a short stretch east of Lowell, and has an interchange with I-65 at exit 240 (181st Avenue). The I-65 exit list shows exit 240 signed toward Lowell and Hebron. The SR 55 article lists Lowell as the junction where the SR 2 concurrency ends, at mile 91.370. Tell us whether you were on SR 2, SR 55 or US 41 and which direction you were heading.

Moraine and outwash

Lowell sits on the Valparaiso Moraine near the St. Lawrence Seaway Divide, almost on the Kankakee Outwash Plain, at 679 feet. Moraine means rolling ground. Outwash plain means flat, sandy, often soft ground. Both matter for recovery. A loaded truck that slips off the road onto soft ground can sink to the axles. We bring a heavy wrecker with enough winch line, and sometimes a second truck for a straight pull. Tell us what the shoulder looks like.

Farm and construction equipment

Tractors, combines, loaders and excavators move on lowboys and landolls, and sometimes on their own tracks. When one is down, we need the machine type, an approximate weight, whether it can be driven and whether the load is secured. Recovery may need cribbing, chains and a second hand, not just a hook.

Commuter town

Lowell commuters to Chicago use the South Shore Line, via Gary Metro Center or the Munster/Dyer station on the Monon Corridor line. School buses, charter buses and commuter vans share roads with trucks. If a bus stops with passengers aboard, tell us the number and move them away from the road.

What to have ready

• The road, the nearest crossroad or mile landmark, and your direction.
• Unit type, weight class, loaded or empty, cargo if hazmat.
• Where the unit is: on pavement, on the shoulder, or in a ditch or field.
• What failed or what happened.
• The payer: driver, fleet, insurer or broker.

Night and winter

Dispatch answers 24/7. On a rural road at night, tell us about any visible landmarks, mailbox numbers or farm names so the driver can find you. The dispatcher gives an honest arrival estimate on the call, and that estimate may be longer in snow.
