Medium duty towing usually covers vehicles weighing between 10,000 and 26,000 pounds. These trucks are heavier than personal vehicles and need more pulling power and stronger equipment to move safely.
If your truck is larger than a pickup but smaller than a semi, it almost always falls into medium duty towing. Larger rigs usually require Heavy Duty Towing.
Medium duty tows most often involve vehicles that are actively working when something goes wrong.
Mechanical Breakdowns
Transmissions fail under load. Cooling systems give out in summer heat. Brake systems wear faster when hauling weight. When any of these systems quit, the truck can’t be driven safely.
Worksite & Traffic Accidents
Low-speed crashes in job sites, intersections, and parking areas damage axles, steering, or frames. After accidents like these, towing is often coordinated with Accident Recovery.
Trucks Stuck in Soft Ground
Rain-softened shoulders, muddy yards, and construction zones trap medium-sized trucks quickly. These situations often require Winching & Off-Road Recovery before towing.
Medium duty towing fills the gap between everyday vehicle towing and large commercial recovery.
