Toowoomba heavy towing, including the Range

The Range between Toowoomba and the Lockyer Valley punishes heavy vehicles. Loaded trucks on the descent are working exhaust brakes, retarders and low gears the whole way down, and when something lets go — brake fade, overheating, a mechanical failure — the recovery has to happen on a steep, winding road with almost no shoulder.

We run a Toowoomba depot for exactly this reason. Our crew handles Range recoveries as regular work: they know the pull-over bays, the access points and the technique for securing a vehicle on a gradient before a tow is even attempted.

From that depot we cover the Darling Downs, the Warrego and New England Highway corridors, and the western access routes to the Surat Basin gas fields and Central Queensland mining operations.

How it runs

Areas we reach from Toowoomba

The city, the surrounding region, and the corridors heading west.

1. Toowoomba and surrounds

   Highfields, Oakey, Dalby, Gatton, Laidley, Warwick, Stanthorpe and the Lockyer Valley.

2. The Warrego corridor

   Between Toowoomba and Brisbane, including the full Range descent and the approaches at either end.

3. The New England Highway

   South through Warwick and Stanthorpe toward the border.

4. The Surat Basin

   Gas field construction and operations generate steady heavy transport demand on roads ranging from sealed highway to gravel access track. Our crew knows those routes.

5. Further west

   Roma, Emerald and Longreach by prior arrangement, planned with fuel, rest stops and relay drivers costed in.
