How This Towing Service Works

The process of ordering a towing vehicle is straightforward and designed to provide the most convenient experience for you. Here are the steps you can look forward to when you order a commercial towing service

Order with Specifics

During your call, the professionals will want to know your situation’s specifics. This includes the size of the vehicle you want to pull and the approximate weight if you can estimate it. Experts will also like to know your current location and preferred destination. This information helps them allocate the necessary resources.

During the order, it also helps to provide other special considerations you might need. For example, towers will need winches to load and tow broken-down vehicles and machinery. This is opposed to operational cars that can be driven up the truck.

Loading

The loading process is critical to the safety of everyone on the project. Towing professionals use a step-by-step process to load heavy machinery. It begins with checking to ensure there are no loose components that require securing on the machine.

Next, they line it up and drive the vehicle onto the truck. If it’s inoperational, the towing professional may use a winch to pull it onboard. Following this, they secure the tires and other parts using the regulation-standard 4-5 tie-down points. The chains are fastened to eliminate slack and maximize downforce. If the vehicle has emergency brakes, these are also activated.

Other precautions include locking all doors, securing the tires, and possibly, covering the vehicle with a tarp.

Special legal and traffic considerations

Commercial vehicle towing experts also account for possible traffic on the designated route. Their goal is to avoid causing discomfort for other road users while also securing the cargo.

As a result, they may plan routes days based on the information you provide. The route may avoid high traffic areas and roads with rough terrain.

There are also special legal considerations when moving heavy-duty machinery. For example, individuals require a class C licence to drive tractors and towing equipment in Australia. There are also road restrictions for vehicles deemed oversized or too heavy.

Towing experts are familiar with all these regulations, and they know how to request the proper permits and licenses.
