What Is Heavy-Duty Towing?

Heavy-duty towing is the service of moving large, heavy vehicles that regular tow trucks cannot handle. This includes full-size trucks, RVs, buses, commercial vehicles, and even construction equipment. Heavy-duty tow trucks have more powerful engines, stronger frames, and specialized equipment designed to handle the weight and size of these vehicles.

At SmoothMove Friendswood Towing, we have the equipment and expertise to tow heavy vehicles safely. Whether you drive a pickup truck with a diesel engine, a large RV, or a commercial delivery truck, we can help when you need a tow.

What Vehicles Need Heavy-Duty Towing?

Heavy-duty towing is not just for semi-trucks. Many vehicles fall into the heavy-duty category. Here are some examples:

  • Full-Size Pickup Trucks: Ford F-350, Chevy Silverado 3500, Ram 3500, and other heavy-duty pickups.
  • RVs and Motorhomes: Class A, Class B, and Class C RVs that are too large for standard tow trucks.
  • Commercial Trucks: Delivery trucks, box trucks, and fleet vehicles.
  • Buses: School buses, shuttle buses, and tour buses.
  • Construction Equipment: Small loaders, bobcats, and other heavy machinery that can be transported on a flatbed.
  • Campers and Trailers: Large trailers and fifth-wheel campers that need to be moved.

If you are not sure whether your vehicle qualifies as heavy-duty, just call us. We will ask about the make, model, and weight, and we will let you know if we can handle it.

Why Heavy-Duty Towing Is Different

You cannot tow a heavy vehicle the same way you tow a regular car. The weight, size, and design of heavy-duty vehicles require special equipment and training. Here is what makes heavy-duty towing unique:

Specialized Trucks

Heavy-duty tow trucks are built to handle extreme weight. They have powerful winches, reinforced frames, and larger engines. These trucks can tow vehicles that weigh thousands of pounds more than what a standard tow truck can manage.

Flatbed Transport

Many heavy-duty vehicles are towed on a flatbed. This keeps all the wheels off the ground and prevents damage to the drivetrain, transmission, and tires. If you need flatbed towing, we have you covered.

Trained Operators

Towing a heavy vehicle is not something you learn overnight. Our drivers are trained and experienced in handling large vehicles safely. They know how to position the tow truck, secure the load, and navigate the roads without causing damage or creating hazards.

When You Need Heavy-Duty Towing

There are many situations where you might need heavy-duty towing. Here are a few common examples:

  • Breakdowns: Your truck or RV broke down on the highway or in a parking lot and you need it towed to a repair shop.
  • Accidents: Your commercial vehicle was involved in a crash and needs to be recovered. We offer accident recovery and winching services for heavy vehicles too.
  • Relocation: You are moving your RV or truck to a new location and need it transported. We offer long-distance towing for heavy-duty vehicles.
  • Fleet Service: Your business has a fleet of commercial vehicles and one needs to be towed for repairs or maintenance.
  • Off-Road Recovery: Your vehicle got stuck off-road or in a ditch and needs to be winched out.

No matter the situation, we treat your heavy-duty vehicle with care. We know these vehicles are expensive and important to you, and we do everything we can to protect them during the towing process.
