What is Medium-Duty Towing

Medium duty towing refers to the service of towing vehicles that fall within a specific weight range, typically between 10,001 pounds (4,536 kg) and 26,000 pounds (11,793 kg).

Vehicles in this category include larger trucks, vans, RVs, and some smaller buses.

Medium-duty towing requires specialized equipment and vehicles capable of handling heavier loads compared to light-duty towing but not so big as to make things unnecessarily expensive or awkward.

Our medium-duty wreckers and tow trucks are designed to safely transport larger vehicles to their destination or a repair facility while maximizing cost-saving efficiency and versatility.

What is a Box Truck?

A box truck, also known as a cube truck, cube van, or straight truck, is a type of truck characterized by a large, rectangular cargo area typically separated from the cab.

It features a flat front or cab-over-engine design, where the driver sits directly above the engine.

Box trucks are commonly used for transporting goods, furniture, appliances, and other cargo over short to medium distances.

What is the difference between Medium-Duty & Flatbed Towing?

While medium duty towing may involve using flatbed trucks for certain vehicles within its weight range, not all medium-duty towing necessarily utilizes flatbeds.

Some medium-duty tow trucks are equipped with traditional wheel lifts or tow dollies for towing purposes. Therefore, while there is overlap, they are distinct in terms of the equipment and vehicles they typically handle.
