Signature Service

When a standard tow truck won't handle the job.

Grain trucks, cement mixers, full-size motorhomes, and vehicles on their side all require heavy-duty equipment. Rotators, heavy wreckers, and specialized rigging are the tools that pull a Class 8 rig out of a ditch or recover a flipped RV on a rural road. Kitchener's heavy-duty operators work accident scenes, highway corridors like Highway 7, Highway 8, Highway 85, and Highway 401, plus fleet breakdowns and insurance claims.

When you call with a heavy-duty situation, the operator asks for vehicle make, length, GVWR, and what went wrong. A qualified heavy-duty towing rig is routed based on location and equipment fit, not just speed. You get an upfront cost estimate and realistic arrival time before any work starts. Standard pricing in Ontario runs $80 to $150 for the hook-up, then $3 to $6 per kilometre, with after-hours fees of $20 to $50 between 10 PM and 6 AM.
