There’s certain kinds of vehicles that, when broken down, absolutely need the assistance of this sort of heavy duty towing technology (rather than light or medium duty towing technology.) Here’s a brief guide to the types of vehicles that commonly require heavy duty towing assistance.

Big Trucks

Huge trucks like big rigs, bobtails, and garbage trucks always need heavy duty towing because of their immense weight. Heavy duty tow trucks can easily do the job properly – due to their useful wheel lift and under reach technology that allow for safe towing that doesn’t damage the vehicle. There’s even special heavy duty towing equipment that allows for the possibility of transporting multiple big trucks all at once!

Busses

Busses are strangely shaped – being both very heavy and very long. Heavy duty tow trucks can tow these vehicles, especially those that have been customized with unique equipment that mitigates the potential for skirting and ground grinding when busses are being transported over long distances. This is helped by the extended wheel lift technology present on heavy duty tow trucks.

Motorhomes

Motorhomes are bulky and incredibly heavy – not to mention being somewhat delicate and strangely shaped. Heavy duty tow trucks can accommodate these massive vehicles, utilizing advanced wheel lift technology and frame axles to make sure that motorhomes can be towed over long distances without incurring damage – or stress to the towing vehicle itself.

Semi Tractor Trailers

All varieties of tractor trailers, from full semi tractors or single axle trailers can be towed by heavy duty towing equipment. These large industrial vehicles are affixed in place to heavy duty tow trucks through advanced and unique hook up equipment – a complete necessity, as the huge weight of these vehicles make it so that it’s very dangerous to tow them with improper equipment. This is why it’s 100% necessary to utilize the assistance of a professional heavy duty towing agency so that you can have peace of mind in knowing that your semi tractor trailer is being towed in a way that won’t cause any problems or danger.
