Everything You Need to Know About Heavy Duty Towing

At Delta Heavy Towing, we know that most people don’t think about tow trucks—until they really need one. Whether you're stuck roadside with a broken-down semi or facing a heavy equipment failure on a job site, you need fast, professional towing you can rely on. Our team specializes in heavy duty towing solutions, and we’re here to give you the essential information you need when the unexpected happens. From roadside assistance for large vehicles to job site equipment relocation, here’s what you need to know before you make the call. Wide and long loads are covered by our over dimensional towing in Brisbane service.

Types of Tow Trucks We Use

Not all tow trucks are built the same—and at Delta Heavy Towing, we use the right equipment for every job. Whether it’s a light-duty breakdown or a major industrial load, we have the fleet and expertise to get the job done safely and efficiently.

Light Duty Towing

Designed for standard passenger vehicles and small trucks, our light-duty trucks are ideal for breakdowns, minor accidents, or short-distance tows. These trucks typically use dolly systems to lift and transport your vehicle safely. Multi-trailer sets are handled by our road train towing specialists.

Medium Duty Towing

Perfect for commercial vans, delivery trucks, and service vehicles. Our medium-duty tow trucks handle vehicles up to 11,000 kg and often feature flatbeds to securely carry your vehicle from point A to B.

Heavy Duty Towing

This is where Delta Heavy Towing really shines. Our heavy duty trucks are built to handle the toughest, heaviest loads—up to 23,000 kg and more. These powerful rigs are equipped with reinforced steel frames, boom lifts, winches, and under lifts to recover and transport:

• Semi-trucks and trailers
• Buses and RVs
• Construction equipment
• Industrial machinery

If it’s big and needs moving, we’re the team to call.

How to Book a Tow with Delta Heavy Towing

Need help now? Booking a tow with Delta Heavy Towing is fast and easy. Here’s what you’ll need to provide when you call:

• Exact location (GPS coordinates or landmark if possible)
• Vehicle details (make, model, and plate number)
• Current condition (e.g., damaged, stuck, off-road, overturned)
• Road and weather conditions

Our dispatcher will match your situation with the appropriate tow truck and give you an estimated arrival time. We prioritize safety and speed to reduce your downtime.

Know Your Rights and Understand the Fees

At Delta Heavy Towing, transparency matters. When we arrive on site, our certified driver will present proper identification and operating licenses. Before your vehicle or equipment is towed, you'll receive an Authority to Tow form. Review it carefully—this document ensures you remain in control of your vehicle's destination. Planned moves of large equipment fall under heavy haulage in Brisbane rather than towing.

Common Towing Fees Include:

• Base tow fee
• Per-kilometre charges
• Wait time or delay fees
• Special equipment surcharges
• Storage fees

We’ll always explain all costs upfront—no hidden surprises. With Delta Heavy Towing, you get professional service, fair pricing, and the confidence that your heavy duty assets are in expert hands.
