The Importance of Hiring a Towing Company in Edmonton That Can Handle Heavy or Truck Towing

This is the fourth artice of our 10 part series.  This week we’re going to talk about Insurance.  There are MANY towing companies in the greater Edmonton Region and there are only a hand full that can truly handle heavy towing.  To take a minute to bang our drum, Tuber Towing is proud to share that we are one of those who takes great pride in our ability to offer heavy and truck towing services.

When it comes to towing, not all companies are equipped to handle heavy trucks. Heavy towing requires specialized equipment and expertise, and not all towing companies have the resources necessary to handle these types of jobs. Even if you don’t need a tow for a semi, or heavy truck, by hiring a company that has the capability will show the level of skill, insurance, and engagement in the industry.  This means, as we discussed in our last weeks post they are way more likely to have necessary insurance, training and pride that you’ll want them to be the ones to tow your car.

There are several reasons why it’s important to hire a towing company in Edmonton that can handle heavy towing jobs. First and foremost, heavy towing requires specialized equipment. A company that is equipped to handle heavy towing jobs will have the necessary equipment, such as heavy wreckers, slide axle (recovery) trailers, to transport heavy vehicles safely and efficiently.

The cost associated with heavy or truck towing is pretty amazing.  20 Year old heavy tow trucks sell for as much as $500,000.  Insuring, maintaining and fuelling these trucks comes at a cost.  These costs can’t be carrying by towing companies that don’t have a repuatation and the abilty to provide regular service in the heavy market.

Secondly, heavy towing requires expertise. A towing company that is experienced in heavy towing will have the knowledge and skills necessary to transport heavy vehicles without causing damage to the vehicle or other property. This can be especially important in emergency situations where time is of the essence.  Skills comes with time, knowledge is an investment.

Finally, hiring a towing company in Edmonton that can handle heavy or truck towing can help you avoid potential liabilities. If a towing company isn’t equipped to handle heavy towing and something goes wrong, they may have to call in one of the ‘right’ companies who has the knowledge and experience to solve it.  I would sure feel more comfrotable calling the towing company that other towing companies call when they need help.

In conclusion, hiring a towing company in Edmonton that can handle heavy towing jobs is essential for ensuring the safety of your vehicle and the public. By doing so, you can ensure that the company has the necessary equipment and expertise to handle heavy towing jobs safely and efficiently, and that any potential liabilities are covered.
