Heavy-duty towing service for large vehicles in Ankeny, IA

When You Need More Than a Standard Tow Truck

Not every vehicle can be towed by a regular tow truck. Large trucks, RVs, buses, box trucks, and other heavy vehicles require specialized equipment and trained operators. That is whereour heavy-duty towing service comes in. We have the powerful trucks, winches, and experience to safely tow vehicles that weigh thousands of pounds more than a typical car.

Heavy-duty towing is not just about size. It is about understanding the weight distribution, handling complex mechanical systems, and using the right equipment to move a large vehicle without damaging it or the road. Our fleet includes heavy-duty tow trucks capable of handling everything from commercial delivery trucks to full-size RVs. If your vehicle is too big for a standard tow, we have you covered.

Types of Heavy Vehicles We Tow

Our heavy-duty towing service is designed for vehicles that standard tow trucks cannot handle. Here are some of the most common types of heavy vehicles we tow regularly in the Ankeny area.

  • Commercial Trucks: Delivery trucks, box trucks, moving trucks, and other commercial vehicles.
  • RVs and Motorhomes: Class A, B, and C motorhomes of any size.
  • Buses: School buses, shuttle buses, and tour buses.
  • Work Trucks: Dump trucks, tow trucks, utility trucks, and construction vehicles.
  • Trailers and Campers: Large trailers, fifth-wheel campers, and travel trailers.

If your vehicle is too large or too heavy for a standard tow, do not try to force it. Heavy vehicles need heavy-duty equipment. We have the right tools for the job, and we know how to use them safely. For smaller vehicles, check out our flatbed towing service.

The Equipment That Makes Heavy-Duty Towing Possible

Heavy-duty towing requires more than just a bigger truck. It requires specialized equipment like heavy-duty winches, reinforced tow bars, air brake connections, and hydraulic lifts designed for extreme weight. Our fleet is equipped with everything needed to handle large vehicles safely and efficiently.

Our operators are trained to handle heavy-duty towing situations, from connecting air brakes to securing oversized loads. We know how to navigate tight spaces, steep hills, and busy highways while towing large vehicles. Safety is always our top priority, both for your vehicle and for other drivers on the road. If your heavy vehicle is also stuck in a difficult spot, ouraccident recovery and winching service can help pull it free before we tow it.

Common Situations That Require Heavy-Duty Towing

Heavy vehicles break down just like cars, but the consequences are bigger. When a commercial truck or RV stops working on the side of the highway, it creates a hazard for other drivers and needs to be moved quickly. Here are some of the most common reasons people call us for heavy-duty towing.

  • Engine Breakdowns: When your truck or RV will not start or loses power on the road.
  • Transmission Problems: Shifting issues or complete transmission failure.
  • Accidents: Commercial vehicle accidents require specialized recovery and towing.
  • Flat Tires: Heavy vehicles cannot just throw on a spare. We tow them to a repair facility.
  • Relocations: Moving a non-running RV or commercial truck to storage or a new location.

Whatever the reason, we respond quickly and handle heavy-duty towing with professionalism and care. We serve Ankeny and the surrounding areas 24/7, so you can get help whenever you need it. For other towing needs, check out our emergency towing for standard vehicles.
