What Is Heavy Duty Towing?

Heavy duty towing refers to the recovery and transport of large vehicles that exceed the capacity of standard tow trucks. This typically includes any vehicle over 10,000 lbs Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), requiring specialized wreckers, rotators, and trained operators.

Unlike light duty towing for cars and SUVs, heavy recovery involves complex rigging, air cushion systems, and sometimes multiple trucks working together for safe extraction.

Our Heavy Duty Equipment

Rotators

Rotating boom trucks can lift up to 75 tons and rotate 360 degrees. Essential for uprighting overturned vehicles and complex extractions from ditches or embankments.

Heavy Wreckers

Equipped with powerful winches (up to 50,000 lbs capacity), underlift systems, and extended booms for recovering disabled trucks and trailers.

Landoll Trailers

Hydraulic tilt-bed trailers for transporting non-running equipment and machinery safely without the need for ramps.

Air Cushion Recovery Systems

Inflatable bags that lift overturned vehicles gently, minimizing damage during recovery operations.

Common Heavy Duty Recovery Situations

Highway Breakdowns

Semi-trucks disabled on Highway 401, 403, 407, or the QEW require immediate response to prevent traffic disruption and safety hazards. Our 24-hour dispatch ensures rapid response to highway emergencies.

Rollovers & Accidents

Overturned trucks require careful recovery to prevent cargo damage, fuel spills, and environmental hazards. We coordinate with emergency services and handle debris cleanup.

Stuck Vehicles

Trucks stuck in mud, snow, or soft shoulders need heavy winching services for safe extraction without causing additional damage.

Mechanical Failures

Engine failures, transmission problems, or brake issues can disable commercial vehicles mid-route. We transport to your preferred repair facility or dealership.

Load Shifts & Cargo Issues

Shifted cargo can make trucks unsafe to drive. We assist with stabilization and transport to facilities where loads can be safely redistributed.

Heavy Duty Towing Costs in Mississauga

Heavy duty towing costs more than standard towing due to specialized equipment and operator expertise. Factors affecting price include:

• Vehicle size and weight: Larger vehicles require more powerful equipment
• Recovery complexity: Rollovers and extractions take more time and resources
• Distance: Longer hauls increase the total cost
• Time of service: After-hours calls may include additional fees
• Equipment needed: Rotators cost more to operate than standard wreckers

Typical price ranges:

• Local heavy duty tow (under 20 km): $350-$600
• Highway recovery: $500-$1,500+
• Rollover recovery: $1,000-$5,000+ depending on complexity

We provide upfront quotes before dispatching. For fleet accounts, we offer competitive rates and direct billing options.
