Light And Medium Duty Towing Ottawa
Light and medium duty towing in Ottawa covers the vehicles that make up 90 percent of the traffic on Ottawa roads. Cars, sedans, SUVs, minivans, pickup trucks, and small commercial vans. These vehicles fall within the weight range that our standard flatbed and wheel-lift trucks handle daily. You do not need a heavy wrecker for a Honda Civic or a Toyota RAV4. You need the right light or medium duty truck dispatched fast.
What counts as light duty vs. medium duty
| Category | Weight range | Typical vehicles |
|---|---|---|
| Light duty | Under 4,500 kg | Sedans, hatchbacks, compact SUVs, small pickups |
| Medium duty | 4,500 - 8,000 kg | Full-size SUVs, large pickups, cargo vans, small box trucks |
Why truck sizing matters for your tow
Sending an oversized heavy wrecker for a Mazda3 is a waste of your money. The truck costs more to run, the operator charges more, and it takes longer to load a small car onto a truck built for semi-trailers. Ontario Towing dispatches the smallest truck that can safely handle your vehicle. That keeps your cost down and your wait time short.
On the other end, sending a light duty truck for a loaded cargo van or a 3/4-ton pickup is dangerous. The tow vehicle needs to be rated for the load. We match truck to vehicle every time so your car gets moved safely and you are not overpaying for equipment you do not need.
We provide light and medium duty towing across all of Ottawa. From Kanata to Orleans, Barrhaven to Gloucester, and every highway corridor in between. Available around the clock.
