Heavy duty towing — the work we were built for

This is the service the business is named after. Heavy duty towing means vehicles that a standard tow truck is not rated to move — prime movers, loaded trailers, rigids at the top of their class, and multi-combination sets. It needs different equipment, different training and a different way of thinking about the job.

Delta Heavy Towing runs heavy units above 23 tonnes GVM out of six depots across South East Queensland, backed by a hydraulic rotator for the recoveries that need lifting rather than dragging. We cover breakdown towing, accident recovery and planned transport, and the same dispatch number handles all three.

What separates a heavy towing specialist from a general operator with a big truck is usually what happens before the tow: asking the right questions, working out whether the driveline needs disconnecting, knowing whether the route clears, and being honest about what the job will cost. That is where we put the effort.

How it runs

Built for heavy duty performance

The fleet is the reason we can say yes to jobs other operators pass on.

1. Heavy tow units above 23t GVM

   Rated for prime movers, loaded trailers and multi-combination work rather than pressed into it.

2. Hydraulic rotator

   Lifts, rotates and repositions a casualty from multiple angles — the difference between a recovery and a wait for a crane.

3. Low loaders and tilt trays

   For when the driveline should not be involved at all, or the vehicle simply cannot roll.

4. GPS-tracked dispatch

   Real ETAs from the closest available unit, not an average pulled off a whiteboard.

5. Traffic management on board

   Signage and safety equipment carried on the truck so motorway work starts on arrival.

6. Maintained and insured

   Scheduled servicing, pre-departure checks, TruckSafe accreditation and full insurance cover.
