Calgary Heavy Towing

Nothing Too Big To Tow

Calgary Towing has a rotator tow truck ready to dispatch. We provide heavy towing and recovery services for larger vehicles that need more power.  Mining equipment, transports and fleet vehicles are well within the capabilities of Calgary Towing.  

How Heavy Towing Works – Our Process

1. Initial Call & Assessment — Our dispatcher collects your location, vehicle type, load weight, and any damage or terrain issues.
2. Site Survey & Stabilization — When our heavy towing team arrives, we inspect the scene for obstacles, stability, ground conditions, and plan the safest method to lift or recover.
3. Recovery & Loading — We can use a rotator, winches, cranes, dollies or modular trailers as needed. The vehicle is secured, stabilized, and carefully loaded.
4. Transport & Delivery — We tow your vehicle to the destination (repair shop, yard, storage) ensuring the load remains safe throughout, monitoring during transit.
