Not every vehicle requires heavy-duty equipment, but every vehicle requires the right equipment. Ontario Towing provides professional light and medium duty towing services in Ottawa for everything from standard passenger cars to commercial vans, box trucks, and motorhomes. Whether you're dealing with a breakdown, collision recovery, private property removal, or a scheduled transport, we dispatch the correct unit for the job the first time.
We're available 24 hours a day across Ottawa and the surrounding Capital Region.
Light-Duty Towing in Ottawa
Light duty towing covers standard passenger vehicles and smaller transport units. Vehicles we commonly handle under light duty include:
Sedans, coupes, and hatchbacks
Minivans and small SUVs
Half-ton pickup trucks
Light duty calls come in for breakdowns, collision recovery, private property removal, abandoned vehicle relocation, and roadside assistance transport. Depending on the vehicle's drivetrain and condition we use wheel-lift, dolly, or flatbed equipment. The right choice depends on the specific vehicle, not just its size.
Medium-Duty Towing in Ottawa
Medium duty towing is required for vehicles that exceed light duty capacity but don't fall into heavy commercial classification. These vehicles need increased lifting capacity, stronger chassis support, and specialized towing configuration to move safely.
Vehicles we commonly handle under medium duty include:
Cargo and utility vans
Delivery vehicles and box trucks
Small motorhomes
Class B and Class C RVs
Our fleet includes properly equipped medium duty tow trucks capable of handling a wide range of commercial and recreational vehicles across Ottawa.
Proper Equipment Selection Matters
Sending the wrong truck to a towing job causes delays at best and vehicle damage at worst. When you call, having the following information ready helps us dispatch the right unit immediately:
Vehicle make and model
Drive configuration (front, rear, all-wheel, four-wheel)
Vehicle condition and whether it can roll
Exact location
That information makes a real difference in response time and how smoothly the job goes when we arrive.
Operated by People Who Know the Difference
Light and medium duty towing aren't interchangeable. Each vehicle class has different weight distribution requirements, loading procedures, and drivetrain protection considerations. Our operators understand the mechanical differences between vehicle types and apply the correct method every time rather than defaulting to whatever's easiest.
Available 24/7 Across Ottawa
Our light and medium duty towing services in Ottawa run around the clock across Ottawa, Kanata, Orleans, Barrhaven, Gloucester, Nepean, Westboro, Downtown, and the surrounding Capital Region. When your vehicle can't move safely, we position the right unit and get there without delay.
