What is considered a heavy duty tow
Not all towing jobs are created equal. From small sedans to fully loaded semis, different vehicles require different equipment and experience. If you’ve ever wondered what qualifies as a heavy duty tow, here’s everything you need to know and how Bronco Towing handles even the biggest jobs in Tucson AZ.
Understanding the Difference Light Medium and heavy duty Towing
Towing is generally divided into three categories
- Light duty Towing – For passenger cars, motorcycles, and small SUVs.
- Medium duty Towing – For larger pickups, delivery vans, and small box trucks.
- heavy duty Towing – For commercial vehicles, big rigs, and other oversized loads.
heavy duty towing requires specialized trucks, powerful winches, and trained operators capable of safely moving massive vehicles that smaller tow trucks simply cannot handle.
What Qualifies as a heavy duty Tow
A tow is considered heavy duty when the vehicle being recovered or transported exceeds standard weight and size limits — typically over 17000 pounds. Examples include
- semi trucks and trailers
- Dump trucks and construction vehicles
- Buses and RVs
- Fire trucks and utility trucks
- Tractor trailers or large fleet vehicles
- Oversized commercial equipment
These vehicles require extra pulling power and reinforced tow equipment designed for stability, strength, and safety.
