Heavy Duty Towing Service | Durham NC
When that bus breaks down, construction backhoe stalls out, or tractor trailer overturns, you need an experienced heavy duty towing company that can handle the job. At Durham Towing Company, we’ve spent over 15 years providing specialized heavy towing and roadside assistance for everything from commercial trucks to agricultural equipment.
Whether it’s a scheduled relocation or sudden breakdown of a big rig, excavator, bus, or other oversize vehicle, we have the capabilities and expertise to take care of it. Let’s talk about why we’re the leading heavy duty towing provider in Durham, RTP, and Chapel Hill.
What Make Towing “Heavy Duty”?
Heavy duty towing involves moving vehicles over 26,000 lbs like commercial trucks, RVs, construction equipment, farm machinery, and other large vehicles that exceed the capabilities of standard tow trucks. These robust, specialized trucks require extra power and reinforced towing apparatus.
At Durham Towing Company, our fleet includes rotator and flatbed trucks capable of safely lifting and hauling all makes and models of heavy machinery. We can upright overturned vehicles, winch stuck equipment, and maneuver vehicles in tight spaces. Our drivers have the expertise to secure varied loads and operate the controls of different machinery during transport.
Planned to Emergency Heavy Duty Services
Durham Towing Company handles both planned transportation jobs and urgent roadside assistance calls requiring immediate response. For scheduled heavy equipment transport between jobsites or facilities, we dispatch specialty flatbed trucks and drivers to safely relocate your machinery. For breakdowns, accidents, or other unplanned heavy duty towing needs, we mobilize our rapid response team 24/7 to uplift and recover your equipment as quickly as possible.
Sudden stalled machinery can bring operations to a halt, so we make emergency heavy towing our top priority. You can rely on Durham Towing Company for both timely coordinated equipment transportation as well as urgent on-call assistance when heavy machinery is immobilized. We have the capabilities, training and responsiveness to handle any heavy duty towing situation.
