Need a vehicle or piece of equipment loaded or unloaded in Brookfield? Loading & unloading is when the job is getting it on or off a trailer or carrier — not a point-to-point tow. MKE Towing & Recovery brings a tilt deck and winch to load non-running cars, motorcycles, and machinery onto your trailer or carrier — or off it — and strap it down safely. Flat load fee, quoted before we start. On-hook insured. Call (414) 279-5510.
A carrier idling in your driveway is a clock you can’t stop. Tell dispatch the vehicle or machine, where it is, and what it’s going onto — a real Brookfield dispatcher answers live and we bring the tilt deck and the right tie-downs.
Local to Brookfield
Here's how we run loading & unloading in Brookfield, Waukesha County — the corridors we run, the industrial areas we serve, and how fast a rig reaches you.
Two different traffic problems share this suburb. On weekdays it's the freeway: I-94, the East-West Freeway, is Brookfield's only interstate, and its ramps at Exits 301A and 301B take the heaviest congestion, in a morning window from 7 to 9 and an evening window from 4 to 6. Come weekends and holidays, the trouble migrates to retail — Brookfield Square and the Bluemound Road (US-18) cluster both spike. Underneath it all run Bluemound Road and Moorland Road (CTH O), the busiest surface arterials and common breakdown spots, with signalized choke points at Capitol Drive & Calhoun Road and Capitol Drive & Lilly Road.
Dispatch runs out of our South Side Milwaukee yard, about 13 miles out, covering Milwaukee & Waukesha counties. You get a live ETA, not a guess.
From Brookfield Square out to I-94, Brookfield keeps driveways, yards, and lots busy — and with them, a non-runner bought online, a carrier inbound, or a machine that has to ride on your trailer. We bring the tilt deck and winch to wherever it sits and strap it down on-hook insured, or unload it off a carrier with no ramps. We run the Bluemound Road (US-18) retail corridor — Brookfield Square, Target, Kohl's, JCPenney, Moorland Road (CTH O) corridor, and Capitol Drive (WIS-190) corridor and the streets between them — Brookfield loading work, day or night.
Winter is the busy season for Brookfield loads — dead batteries, project cars that won’t start, and auction buys that have to come off a carrier in the cold. We winch them on without a running engine, any time.
Wisconsin's legal limits on the interstate run 8'6" wide, 13'6" high, and 80,000 lb gross — anything over needs a WisDOT oversize/overweight permit, and we pull it.
Wisconsin's spring thaw brings posted weight restrictions (“frost laws”) on local roads from roughly March into April — we know which routes are posted and plan the legal way in.
Roughly 15 miles of ground separate Brookfield from Lake Michigan to its east, and the distance shows: direct lake-effect snow mostly stays on the lakefront, yet winter out here gives up nothing. Heavy snow still falls, freeze-thaw cycles still work the pavement, and morning fog still glazes the I-94 (East-West Freeway) and Bluemound Road (US-18) corridors with ice. This is inland southeastern Wisconsin's humid continental regime at full strength — winter cold and white, summer warm and sticky.

Sound familiar?
Dead, locked, or out of gear in Brookfield. We winch it onto your trailer — the most common load we run.
Never flat-towed on the wheels. A full flatbed or dollies and skates so the wheels never turn — protects the drivetrain and battery pack.
Bikes, trikes & scooters upright in a wheel chock, strapped to the frame — never cranked down by the bars or levers.
Show cars, lowered, and exotic. A shallow angle so the splitter and exhaust clear — nothing on the body.
A skid steer, forklift, or mini-ex rigged to the rated lift points and chained and binder-secured.
Copart, IAA, or a marketplace pickup. We meet the carrier or hit the yard, winch it on, condition documented at the load.
Running or not, we load it
Getting it on or off your trailer or a carrier is exactly what we do — tilt deck and winch, soft straps and wheel nets, a flat load fee quoted before we start.
Call dispatch — (414) 279-5510Moving it from one place to another is a point-to-point tow — see our towing services, where we load it, haul it, and set it down.
Call dispatch — (414) 279-5510A cross-country move rides a transport carrier — we don’t haul long-distance, but we load it onto the hauler at either end, strapped and documented.
Call dispatch — (414) 279-5510Do you handle mine? Almost certainly.
Dead, locked, or out of gear — the tilt deck drops to the ground and the winch pulls it straight on. No running engine or steering needed.
Never flat-towed on the wheels — a full flatbed or dollies and skates so the wheels never turn, protecting the drivetrain and battery.
Bikes in a wheel chock strapped to the frame; classics and lowered cars on extended ramps at a low angle — about not leaving a mark.
A skid steer, forklift, or mini-ex lifted with the right wrecker, crane, or rotator, rigged to the rated lift points and binder-secured. Equipment is a flat $200 per unit; custom items $250.
What loading & unloading covers
Loading & unloading is the load, not the haul — getting it on or off your trailer or a carrier, carefully and on-hook insured. We winch what won't run and strap it without leaving a mark.
Indoor and basement loads are case-by-case — tell us the access and we’ll say straight whether we can do it, before any truck rolls.
Secured, not dragged
The bed drops to the ground and the winch pulls a dead, locked, or out-of-gear vehicle straight on — no running engine or steering needed.
Secured to rated points with over-the-tire wheel nets — never chains on the body, so it leaves no mark.
For AWD, EVs, seized wheels, or a tight basement garage, we roll it on without turning or dragging the wheels.
Handled like it’s ours and insured if it isn’t — on-hook and garage-keepers coverage, Licensed & Insured in Wisconsin.
What it costs & why
A Brookfield load is a flat per-unit fee — vehicles $150, equipment $200, custom items $250 — quoted before we start, not per-mile. Count the items and you know the price. You hear the number before any truck rolls.
The flat load fee covers the trip and getting it on or off, strapped and documented. A tight access, after-hours work, or heavy equipment moves the number — always quoted first, no surprises.
Get your Brookfield priceBallpark it now — live estimate
Vehicles are $150 a unit, equipment $200, custom items $250. Anything over 10,000 lbs gets a crane and special-gear assessment up front.
A free-roller loads fast; a dead, locked, AWD, or seized vehicle takes dollies, skates, and setup.
A curbside load is quick; a tight incline, a narrow lot, or an indoor or basement pull with a GoJak adds work.
A late-night or scheduled load, plus the securing materials — wheel nets, soft straps, binders — factor into the fee.
Getting help in Brookfield
The vehicle or machine, the location in Brookfield, and what it’s going onto. A real person answers, no menus.
