If you get into an accident or have mechanical trouble with your car, pickup truck, or SUV, a standard tow truck typically can transport your vehicle from the site of the incident. However, other vehicles and situations may require heavy-duty towing. Here are some circumstances that call for a towing service that has heavy-duty equipment.

When Do You Need Heavy-Duty Towing? 

1. Semi Trucks & Trailers

If your semi tractor-trailer has problems on the road and needs to be transported somewhere, only a heavy-duty towing service can handle the job. Along with large, powerful equipment, towing a tractor-trailer requires special training and skill that a light-duty towing company may not have.

2. Motor Homes

Your RV is not only a mode of transportation but also your home away from home. That’s why it requires special equipment that is large enough and secure enough to transport your motor home without causing further damage.

3. Recovery Situations

If an unfortunate incident leaves your vehicle rolled over, in water, or extremely misshapen, a standard tow truck probably can’t move it. A heavy-duty towing service is better equipped and trained to handle this type of situation.

4. Buses

Whether it’s a school, city, or charter bus, many people rely on these vehicles to get them to class, work, or vacation. However, if your bus breaks down or gets into a wreck, you’ll need heavy-duty towing equipment to accommodate its weight, length, and shape.

5. Large Work Vehicles

Garbage trucks, dump trucks, and construction equipment are made to withstand a lot, but they can break down or get stuck just like any other vehicle. When this happens, rely on professional equipment movers with wheel-lift and underreach capabilities.
