Box Truck Towing Ottawa

Box truck towing in Ottawa handles the cube vans and delivery trucks that keep Ottawa businesses running. A 16-foot cube van used by a moving company weighs 4,500 kg empty. Loaded with furniture, it can hit 7,000 kg. A standard car tow truck is not rated for that weight. Ontario Towing uses medium-duty equipment specifically sized for box trucks and commercial delivery vehicles.

Common box truck breakdowns in Ottawa

The most common box truck calls we get are from moving companies during the summer months, delivery fleets in the St. Laurent and Sheffield industrial corridors, and rental trucks from U-Haul and Penske that break down on residential moves. Box trucks run hard. They carry heavy loads, make frequent stops, and their brakes, tires, and transmissions take a beating that passenger vehicles never see.

Engine overheating on steep grades like the Aviation Parkway hill or the Highway 416 southbound climb is another frequent call. Box trucks struggle with sustained climbs when loaded, especially in summer heat.

We tow box trucks across Ottawa and beyond. Local breakdowns, highway recoveries, and long-distance transport to repair facilities outside the city.
