TOW TRUCK IN LA PORTE, TX
Heavy-duty towing & recovery for Barbours Cut, Bayport, and the SH-146 corridor — TWIC-credentialed, 24/7 from Crosby.
24/7 TOWING & RECOVERY IN LA PORTE
La Porte sits at the east end of the Houston Ship Channel where it opens into Galveston Bay. It is a port town first. Barbours Cut and Bayport are two of Port Houston’s busiest container terminals, and the drayage trucks, chassis, and loaded containers moving in and out of them never stop. Add the Bayport Industrial Complex’s chemical plants and you have one of the heaviest commercial-traffic corners in the region.
Container and chassis work is exactly where heavy recovery earns its keep. Our Peterbilt rotator and heavy wreckers handle loaded containers, Class 8 tractors, and chassis up to 80,000 lbs, and our operators carry TWIC credentials for access to Barbours Cut, Bayport, and the marine terminals. A dropped box on Barbours Cut Boulevard or a tractor down on SH-146 is routine work for our crew, usually 30 to 40 minutes from our Crosby base.
La Porte is also a real community: Fairmont Park, Bayforest, the neighborhoods off Spencer Highway and Fairmont Parkway, Sylvan Beach, and out toward Lomax and Morgan’s Point in the 77571 ZIP code. We tow passenger cars, run roadside assistance (jumpstart, lockout, flat, fuel), carry flatbeds for insurance claims, and keep secured long-term storage at our 4-acre Crosby yard.

WHY LA PORTE CHOOSES SMITH TOWING
Port-Ready Recovery
Barbours Cut and Bayport run on loaded containers and chassis. Our rotator and heavy units are sized for that weight, up to 80,000 lbs, not just the family sedan.
TWIC for the Terminals
Marine terminals don’t let just anyone through the gate. Our operators carry TWIC, so we reach a downed tractor or chassis inside the terminal instead of waiting at security.
