When heavy equipment fails, you need professional recovery you can count on. We support contractors and site teams with controlled recovery for failed or immobilized heavy equipment, plus scheduled inter-site machine movement.
We know that feeling. You're in the middle of foundation work, the concrete is flowing, and suddenly—silence from your excavator. Or your bulldozer breaks down during critical earthworks. Or your roller fails hours before asphalt laying.
It's not just a broken machine. It's idle crews, missed deadlines, and mounting pressure from project managers.
When heavy equipment fails, you need professional recovery you can count on.

Isaac started as a construction student at the Technical University of Kenya, but financial challenges forced him to pause his education. Instead of giving up, he joined the towing industry as an assistant—learning to secure loads, navigate challenging sites, and recover equipment when everything goes wrong.
He worked his way up. Assistant. Operator. Supervisor. Manager.
Over the years, Isaac has recovered thousands of pieces of heavy equipment—from 2-tonne mini excavators to 25-tonne bulldozers. His longevity in the industry gave him something more valuable than trucks: social capital. He knows who to call. He knows how to get you taken care of.
He went back to TU-K and finished his construction degree. Then he worked on a major government infrastructure project with a Chinese construction company.
Then he built Archer's Towing.
"I've recovered thousands of excavators, bulldozers, rollers, and compactors. I know what can go wrong. I know how to prevent damage. Professional recovery isn't about having the biggest truck—it's about doing the job right, every time."
— Isaac, Founder, Archer's Towing
Support for construction and industrial machinery requiring low-bed, flatbed, or specialized recovery arrangements.
Straightforward coordination from first call to machine handover.
When you call, we dispatch a heavy equipment specialist who understands construction machinery. They assess the situation and determine the safest recovery method for your specific equipment.
Unlike standard tow trucks, we use low-bed trailers with ramps for tracked equipment, hydraulic recovery systems for immobilized machinery, and custom rigging for awkward or delicate components.
Your equipment is secured using professional systems—track locks, center of gravity management, and equipment-specific tie-downs.
We deliver to your chosen location—yard, repair facility, or another project site—and position it for immediate use.
