Heavy-Duty Towing
Specialized equipment and expertise for towing large vehicles, RVs, and commercial trucks.
What Makes Heavy-Duty Towing Different
Regular tow trucks can't handle everything on the road. Large vehicles need specialized equipment rated for their weight and size. Heavy-duty towing uses bigger trucks with more powerful engines, stronger winches, and reinforced towing components. These trucks can handle vehicles that weigh several tons without straining the equipment.
At RightStep Herriman Towing, our heavy-duty towing service handles the big jobs that standard tow trucks can't. We've invested in professional-grade equipment and trained our operators specifically for large vehicle recovery and transport. Whether you're driving a commercial truck, large RV, or heavy equipment, we have the capabilities to tow it safely.
Vehicles We Tow
Heavy-duty towing covers a wide range of large vehicle types:
- ✓Commercial Trucks: Box trucks, delivery vehicles, and semi-tractors (without trailers).
- ✓RVs and Motorhomes: Class A, B, and C recreational vehicles of all sizes.
- ✓Buses: School buses, charter buses, and shuttle buses.
- ✓Large Pickups: Heavy-duty pickup trucks with dually rear wheels and commercial equipment.
- ✓Construction Equipment: Some types of heavy machinery and equipment (call for specifics).
For standard passenger vehicles and SUVs, our regular flatbed towing service provides efficient transport at lower rates.
Common Heavy-Duty Towing Situations
Large vehicle breakdowns happen for many reasons. Commercial trucks suffer mechanical failures just like cars. A blown engine, transmission problem, or brake failure can leave a box truck stranded on the highway. Regular tow trucks can't move these vehicles safely. That's when businesses call us for heavy-duty towing to get their truck to a repair facility.
RV breakdowns are another common situation. You're on a family trip when your motorhome develops problems. Maybe the engine overheated, or you're hearing concerning noises from the transmission. Rather than risk major damage or a dangerous breakdown in traffic, you need professional heavy-duty towing. We'll transport your RV to an RV-certified repair shop.
Accidents involving large vehicles also require heavy-duty towing. The vehicle might have significant damage that makes it unsafe to drive. Or it could be in a position that requires winching before we can tow it. Our team has experience with accident recovery for large vehicles. For standard car accidents, our accident recovery and winching service provides specialized crash assistance.
Our Heavy-Duty Process
Heavy-duty towing requires more planning than regular towing. When you call, we'll ask detailed questions about your vehicle including its weight, length, and current condition. This helps us send the right equipment and ensures we can handle your specific situation safely.
Our heavy-duty tow truck arrives equipped for your vehicle type. The operator assesses the situation and determines the best approach for securing and lifting your vehicle. For very large loads, this might involve special rigging or multiple attachment points. We take our time getting everything right because safety is paramount when moving vehicles that weigh thousands of pounds.
We transport your vehicle to wherever it needs to go. This might be a repair facility, storage yard, or your business location. Our drivers are experienced with large vehicle transport and understand the challenges of moving oversized loads through traffic and tight spaces.
