Types of Heavy Duty Towing Equipment

No one wants a tow, but when you need one it’s important to know you’ll be taken care of by the right people with the right tools. While a vehicle caught in a ditch can be remedied by almost any truck with a tow line, larger vehicles and equipment require special expertise and gear.

If you find yourself in need of a tow, you can be confident that we have the skills and experience it takes to tow large vehicles, and we also have the right equipment. Here are just a few common types of heavy duty towing equipment and vehicles we use to serve our customers.

Fully hydraulic lowboys

A lowboy (also known as a low-bed) trailer is one of the most common pieces of equipment used for heavy duty towing. A lowboy is a semitrailer with two drops in deck height. The first drop is right after the gooseneck and the other is right before the wheels.

The deck is raised and lowered using a fully hydraulic system. The wide trailer and ability to easily lift or drop the deck makes this piece of equipment ideal for hauling large pieces of equipment or vehicles, including bulldozers and industrial vehicles.

Tractor trailers

Tractor trailers are similar to lowboys. These trailers also have a low deck that makes it easy to quickly and easily secure a heavy load, are easy to operate and can be used in a variety of ways, from hauling forklifts to transporting construction equipment.

Car transporters

Another common trailer used for larger, heavier loads is a car transport. As the name suggests, these trailers are designed to safely secure and stack multiple vehicles. The trailer has a stack edge that is low to the ground and uses flatbeds that are pressure-assisted.

Super duty vehicles

Super duty vehicles are the most advanced form of towing equipment. These special vehicles have pivot lifts, which allows even the largest vehicles to be towed securely and safely. Super duty vehicles can be used to tow tractors, buses, trailers and even semi trucks.
