Special Vehicle Towing Ottawa

Special vehicle towing in Ottawa covers the jobs that a standard tow truck cannot handle. Your Class A motorhome threw a belt on the 417. A horse trailer with a blown axle is blocking a rural road near Manotick. A lowered Porsche 911 needs transport without scraping the front splitter. These vehicles need trucks and operators with the right equipment and the experience to use it properly.

What makes a vehicle "special" for towing?

Any vehicle that falls outside the standard car-SUV-truck category requires special handling. That includes motorcycles that need soft straps and wheel chocks, RVs and motorhomes that weigh 10,000 kg or more, trailers that need their own towing setup, lowered sports cars that cannot clear a standard ramp, and industrial equipment like forklifts that require rated flatbeds.

Why regular tow trucks fail with special vehicles

A standard wheel-lift truck works for a 1,500 kg Civic. It does not work for a 12,000 kg motorhome, a 200 kg motorcycle, or a car with 3 inches of ground clearance. Using the wrong equipment causes damage. Sometimes thousands of dollars of damage. Ontario Towing matches the right truck, the right straps, and the right loading method to every vehicle. That is what 25 years of experience looks like.
