Signature Service
When a standard tow truck won't work, heavy-duty wrecker recovery takes over.
Rolled semi-tractors, stuck motorhomes, Class 8 grain trucks, fifth-wheel trailers and commercial vehicles need rotator equipment and experienced heavy-duty operators. A wheel-lift rig simply cannot handle the weight, angle or complexity. Burnaby Tow Truck routes these calls to operators with the right gear and training for highway clearance, insurance coordination and safe load management.
The operator who answers your call will ask about the vehicle's make, length, GVWR and what went wrong. Before any heavy-duty rig rolls, you get a cost estimate, expected arrival time and a clear picture of what happens next. Typical pricing in British Columbia runs $80 to $150 for the initial hook-up, then $3 to $6 per kilometre depending on distance and conditions. After-hours calls between 10 PM and 6 AM may include a $20 to $50 surcharge, stated upfront. See our heavy-duty towing page for more detail, or call to discuss your specific wrecker service need. For accident scenes, our collision recovery team handles police coordination and scene safety.
