Heavy-Duty Towing

What Is Heavy-Duty Towing?

Heavy-duty towing is a specialized service for vehicles that are too large or heavy for standard tow trucks. This includes commercial trucks, big rigs, RVs, buses, box trucks, construction equipment, and other oversized vehicles. These vehicles require powerful tow trucks with heavy-duty winches, reinforced cables, and experienced operators who know how to handle large loads safely.

At CoastCrew Norwalk Towing, our heavy-duty towing service is equipped to handle the biggest jobs. Whether you operate a commercial fleet, own an RV, or drive a heavy-duty pickup truck, we have the equipment and expertise to tow your vehicle safely. We understand that large vehicles represent significant investments, and we treat them with the care they deserve.

Vehicles We Can Tow

Our heavy-duty towing service can handle a wide range of large vehicles, including:

• Semi-trucks and tractor-trailers: We can tow commercial big rigs, including those with full loads, back to a repair facility or safe location.
• Box trucks and delivery vans: Vehicles used for deliveries, moving, or commercial purposes can be towed if they break down or are involved in an accident.
• RVs and motorhomes: Class A, B, and C motorhomes require heavy-duty equipment due to their size and weight. We can also handle fifth-wheel trailers.
• Buses and shuttles: School buses, tour buses, and passenger shuttles can be towed with our heavy-duty trucks.
• Heavy-duty pickup trucks: Large trucks like Ford F-350, Ram 3500, and similar models often require heavy-duty towing, especially when loaded or towing trailers.
• Construction equipment: Small to mid-sized construction vehicles, tractors, and other machinery can be transported using our heavy-duty service.

Why Heavy-Duty Towing Requires Special Equipment

You cannot tow a semi-truck or RV with the same equipment used for a compact car. Heavy-duty towing requires specialized trucks, winches, and techniques to handle the weight and size safely. Here is what makes heavy-duty towing different:

Powerful tow trucks: Heavy-duty tow trucks have reinforced frames, powerful engines, and heavy-duty transmissions to handle vehicles weighing 10,000 pounds or more.

Industrial-grade winches: Standard winches cannot pull large vehicles. We use heavy-duty winches with steel cables rated for tens of thousands of pounds.

Flatbed and rotator trucks: Some large vehicles require flatbed towing, while others can be towed using a wheel-lift system. We have both options available.

Trained operators: Heavy-duty towing is dangerous if done incorrectly. Our drivers are trained in load distribution, proper tie-down techniques, and safe transport methods.

Safety precautions: Large vehicles require extra safety measures, including warning signs, escort vehicles (in some cases), and coordination with law enforcement for oversized loads.

When You Need Heavy-Duty Towing

Heavy-duty towing is necessary in several situations. Here are the most common reasons businesses and individuals call us:

Mechanical breakdowns: If your commercial truck, RV, or bus breaks down on the highway or in a parking lot, you need a heavy-duty tow to get it to a repair shop.

Accidents involving large vehicles: After an accident, a damaged semi-truck or RV may not be able to move. Our accident recovery service can extract and transport it safely.

Fleet maintenance: Businesses with commercial fleets often need towing when vehicles go out of service. We work with fleet managers to provide fast, reliable heavy-duty towing.

Repossessions: Banks and lenders sometimes need to repossess large vehicles. We can handle repo towing for commercial trucks and RVs.

Relocation and transport: If you need to move a large vehicle from one location to another, we offer long-distance heavy-duty towing.
