Heavy-Duty Towing
Specialized equipment and expertise for large vehicles and commercial equipment.
When Standard Towing Isn't Enough
Not every vehicle fits on a regular tow truck. Large pickup trucks, RVs, commercial vehicles, buses, and heavy equipment need specialized towing capabilities. That's where our heavy-duty towing service in Calexico, CA comes in. We have the equipment and expertise to handle vehicles that exceed standard towing weight limits.
Heavy-duty towing requires different equipment, stronger trucks, and operators who understand the unique challenges of moving large, heavy vehicles. We invest in the right tools and training to handle these jobs safely and efficiently. When you need to move something big, we're ready to help.
Vehicles We Handle
Heavy-duty towing covers a wide range of large vehicles and equipment. Here are the types we commonly work with:
- Large pickup trucks: Full-size trucks, especially dual-wheel models and lifted vehicles.
- RVs and motorhomes: Class A, B, and C motorhomes of various sizes.
- Commercial trucks: Box trucks, delivery vehicles, and small commercial haulers.
- Buses: School buses, shuttle buses, and small transit vehicles.
- Construction equipment: Small excavators, skid steers, and similar machinery.
- Agricultural equipment: Tractors and farming equipment that needs transport.
- Tow trucks: Yes, sometimes tow trucks themselves need towing.
If you're not sure whether your vehicle qualifies as heavy-duty, just call and describe it. We'll let you know if we can handle it with standard equipment or if it needs our heavy-duty service. Weight, size, and configuration all factor into the decision.
Specialized Equipment for Big Jobs
Heavy-duty towing requires trucks with higher towing capacities, stronger winches, and reinforced components. Our heavy-duty trucks can handle vehicles weighing several tons. We use specialized rigging, heavy-duty chains and straps, and equipment rated for the loads we're moving.
The process for heavy-duty towing is similar to regular towing but scaled up. For very large vehicles, we often use flatbed towing methods when possible because they provide the most stable transport. For vehicles too large or heavy for our flatbeds, we use wheel-lift or underlift systems specifically designed for heavy loads.
Common Heavy-Duty Towing Situations
Heavy-duty towing comes up in various scenarios. Your large pickup broke down on the highway and needs transport to a dealer. Your RV won't start at a campground and needs to get to a repair facility. Your company's delivery truck was in an accident and needs removal. Construction equipment needs transport to a job site.
We also handle planned moves – transporting recently purchased vehicles, relocating equipment, or moving vehicles that aren't road-legal. Not all heavy-duty towing is emergency work. Sometimes it's just getting something big from point A to point B safely and legally.
Unique Challenges of Large Vehicle Towing
Moving large vehicles presents challenges that don't exist with passenger cars. Weight distribution matters more. Clearances become critical issues – height restrictions on overpasses, width limitations on narrow roads, turning radius requirements in tight areas. Our operators understand these factors and plan routes accordingly.
Securing heavy vehicles also requires expertise. Connection points need to handle significant loads. Tie-downs must be positioned correctly to prevent shifting during transport. Braking distances increase with heavier loads. We account for all these factors to ensure safe transport every time.
Heavy-Duty Towing Around Calexico
We provide heavy-duty towing throughout Calexico and Imperial County. Whether your large vehicle is on a highway, at a business location, or on private property, we can reach you. Our service operates 24/7 because commercial vehicles and heavy equipment don't only break down during business hours.
Being local means we know the roads and can navigate with large tow rigs. We understand which routes work for oversized loads and which areas present challenges. We're familiar with local regulations about moving large vehicles through town. That knowledge helps us work efficiently and avoid problems.
Commercial Towing Accounts
If your business operates large vehicles or equipment, we can set up a commercial account for faster service and simplified billing. Companies with fleets benefit from having a dedicated towing provider who understands their vehicles and responds quickly when problems occur. We work with construction companies, delivery services, agricultural operations, and other businesses that depend on large vehicles and equipment.
Commercial accounts get priority scheduling and can often arrange for invoicing instead of payment at the time of service. We understand that business vehicles need to get back in service quickly, and we work to minimize your downtime. Whether you need one-time heavy-duty towing or regular support for a fleet, we can structure service to fit your needs. We also provide long-distance towing for larger vehicles when necessary.
What to Know Before Calling
When you call for heavy-duty towing, having some information ready helps us respond more effectively. Know the vehicle's approximate weight if possible, or at least its type and size. Tell us where it's located and whether there are any access challenges. Let us know if it can roll and steer, or if it's completely immobile.
If the vehicle is at a business location or private property, make sure we have access permission. For commercial vehicles, have your vehicle registration and insurance information available. The more details you can provide, the better we can prepare to handle your specific situation.
