Heavy-Duty

Heavy-duty towing. Up to 50,000 pounds GVWR.

Box trucks, rental moving trucks, step vans, dump trucks, RVs, and buses need a rotator or heavy-duty wrecker — not a light-duty rollback. We run Class 7 and 8 wreckers with integrated booms, underreach, and heavy winch capacity. Up to 50,000 lb GVWR countywide and 24/7 dispatch for fleet breakdowns.

Common questions

What counts as heavy-duty towing?

Anything over roughly 10,000 lb GVWR — box trucks, delivery vans with cube bodies, step vans, shuttles, buses, RVs, dump trucks, and medium-duty commercial vehicles. If you're not sure whether your vehicle qualifies, tell us the make and model when you call — we'll tell you whether a light-duty flatbed or a heavy wrecker is needed.

How much does heavy-duty towing cost in San Diego?

Heavy-duty hook fees start at $285 plus mileage. Complex scenes with winch-outs, underreach recovery, or accident staging are quoted on the scene. We give you a written estimate before work begins and an invoice the same day.

Can you tow a Penske or U-Haul moving truck?

Yes. Rental moving trucks (16-, 20-, 26-foot) all fall under heavy-duty towing. Call the rental company first — they often have contracted roadside coverage that handles the tow at no cost to you. If not, we dispatch directly.

Do you work commercial fleets on contract?

Yes. We contract with delivery fleets, construction companies, and corporate shuttle operators for priority heavy-duty response. Flat monthly or per-call rates available. Call (619) 714-6300 to set up a fleet account.

How long does a heavy recovery take?

A clean hook-up on a disabled truck takes 30–45 minutes on scene. Accident recovery with law enforcement on scene can take 1–3 hours depending on the situation. We coordinate with CHP, local PD, and insurance adjusters so you do not have to.

Homeowners who hired us for this

Broke down on the 5 at 1 a.m. Dispatcher answered on the first ring, gave me a real ETA, and the flatbed showed up 35 minutes later. Driver walked me through the load and I was home by 3. Exactly what I needed.

Our 26-foot rental truck died halfway through a move. Called three companies; Quick Tow was the only one who picked up. Heavy wrecker was onsite in under an hour and they dropped the truck exactly where we needed.

Steve R. Heavy-Duty Towing · El Cajon

Model Y wouldn't shift out of park. They rolled up with a low-clearance flatbed, knew exactly what button combo puts it in transport mode, loaded with soft straps. No drama, no scratches, no nonsense.
