What Makes Heavy-Duty Towing Different
Heavy-duty towing is not the same as towing a regular passenger vehicle. Commercial trucks, buses, RVs, and construction equipment weigh significantly more and require specialized equipment to move safely. Standard tow trucks are rated for vehicles up to about 10,000 pounds. Anything heavier needs a heavy-duty tow truck with reinforced frames, more powerful winches, and stronger chains or straps. Our fleet includes equipment specifically designed for these larger loads.
The physics of towing heavy vehicles are more complex. Weight distribution, braking distances, and turning radius all change dramatically when you are moving a 20,000 pound truck versus a 3,000 pound sedan. Our operators receive specialized training in handling heavy loads safely. They understand how to position the tow truck correctly, calculate proper attachment points, and drive defensively with a heavy vehicle in tow. This expertise prevents accidents and protects your valuable equipment.
Commercial vehicle breakdowns are more than just an inconvenience. They represent lost revenue and potential contract penalties. When your delivery truck breaks down or your bus cannot complete its route, every minute counts. We prioritize quick response times for heavy-duty towing calls. Our dispatch team understands the urgency and works to get a qualified operator to your location as fast as possible. If you need emergency towing for any vehicle type, we are available around the clock.
Types of Heavy-Duty Vehicles We Tow
Our heavy-duty towing service handles a wide range of large vehicles and equipment. Box trucks and delivery vans used by shipping companies and local businesses are common calls. These vehicles break down frequently due to high mileage and constant use. We also tow semi-trucks, including day cabs and sleeper cabs, though there are weight limits depending on the specific truck and load. If you operate a fleet of commercial vehicles, we can provide regular service and build a relationship with your business.
Recreational vehicles present unique challenges. Class A motorhomes are essentially buses with living quarters built in. They are long, heavy, and expensive. Owners need a towing company they can trust to handle their RV carefully. We also tow buses used for schools, churches, and tour companies. Construction equipment like excavators, backhoes, and small bulldozers can be transported on our heavy-duty flatbed trucks. Farm equipment and utility vehicles also fall within our capabilities.
Each type of vehicle requires specific knowledge and equipment. Our team assesses the situation before arriving to make sure we bring the right truck and tools. We ask questions about weight, dimensions, and the nature of the breakdown. This preparation allows us to complete the job efficiently on the first visit. Whether you need transport to a repair facility or a long-distance move, we handle it professionally. We also provide flatbed towing for standard vehicles that need extra protection.
