Heavy-Duty

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

Box trucks, rental moving trucks, step vans, port drayage trucks, and buses need a rotator or heavy-duty wrecker - not a light-duty rollback. Port NOLA alone sees more than 2,000 trucks a day moving cargo through the Chalmette and Violet-area terminals, and the refinery corridor at Norco and Chalmette runs its own fleet of vocational and tanker trucks. We run Class 7 and 8 wreckers with integrated booms, underreach, and heavy winch capacity, up to 50,000 lb GVWR, 24/7.

What do homeowners ask about Heavy-Duty?

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 New Orleans?

Heavy-duty jobs are quoted flat once we know the vehicle type and job complexity. 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 with the port and refinery corridor on contract?

Yes. We contract with drayage carriers, refinery-adjacent fleets, construction companies, and cruise-terminal shuttle operators for priority heavy-duty response. Flat monthly or per-call rates available. Call (858) 925-5546 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 Louisiana State Police, local police, and insurance adjusters so you do not have to.
