Heavy Duty Towing
Not every tow truck is built the same — and not every vehicle can be moved with standard equipment. That’s where heavy duty towing comes in. Designed specifically for the largest and most demanding jobs, this service handles vehicles that go far beyond the weight or size limits of light duty towing.
Whether it’s a fully loaded box truck, an 18-wheeler, a dump truck, or a bus — if it’s big, heavy, or commercial-grade, you’re in the right place. JJ Hogan Towing has the experience, equipment, and trained operators to handle serious hauls safely and efficiently.
What Is Heavy Duty Towing?
Heavy duty towing refers to the recovery or relocation of large commercial vehicles and machinery — typically vehicles that exceed 26,000 pounds or have specialized structural designs. These include:
Tractor trailers / semi-trucks
Dump trucks and garbage trucks
Buses and RVs
Delivery trucks (such as Amazon, FedEx, or box trucks)
Tow trucks and flatbeds
Boom trucks, crane trucks, or other specialty rigs
Fully loaded fleet and municipal vehicles
These vehicles often require more than just size-appropriate towing equipment. They need operators who understand air brakes, weight distribution, safe hook-up techniques, and special care to avoid frame or suspension damage.
When Should You Call for Heavy Duty Towing?
If you’re driving or managing any kind of large commercial or industrial vehicle and something goes wrong — you call us. Common reasons include:
Engine failure or mechanical breakdown
On-road accidents involving commercial vehicles
Jackknifed or overturned semis
Buses stranded on routes
Fleet vehicle recovery for delivery or service companies
Police-ordered impound or accident clearance
Equipment relocation between job sites
Our team has worked with all kinds of businesses and government agencies to handle jobs of every size and urgency.
