When Standard Won't Work
Class 8 trucks, motorhomes and rolled rigs need heavy-duty wrecker recovery.
A standard wheel-lift tow truck cannot handle a loaded grain hauler, a Class A motorhome with slide-outs, or a fifth-wheel trailer on its side. These jobs require rotators, heavy wreckers and operators trained in load management, air-brake systems and highway clearance protocols. Vancouver Tow Truck's heavy-duty network covers Highway 1 eastbound and westbound, Highway 99 north and south, Highway 91, the Trans-Canada corridor, and secondary routes through the Lower Mainland.
When you call with a heavy-duty situation, the operator asks for vehicle make, axle count, GVWR, cargo type and what went wrong. That information routes the right wrecker to your location. Before any hook-up, you get a cost estimate and arrival window. Pricing for heavy-duty work typically ranges from $150 to $300 for the initial hook-up, plus $4 to $8 per kilometre depending on equipment and road conditions. After-hours calls between 10 PM and 6 AM carry a surcharge of $20 to $50, stated upfront.
