Trucks We Tow
- Rigid trucks: Light rigids, medium rigids, and heavy rigids. Tippers, pantech, tautliner, and refrigerated bodies. Most rigid truck tows are straightforward boom-and-underlift jobs.
- Semi-trailers: Prime mover and single trailer combinations. If the prime mover has failed, we tow the entire combination or decouple and tow separately depending on the situation and destination.
- B-doubles: Two-trailer combinations need careful handling during towing. Our operators understand the articulation points, brake systems, and coupling mechanisms involved.
- Road trains: Multi-trailer combinations common on Queensland highways. Road train recovery usually involves decoupling trailers and towing the prime mover and each trailer separately.
- Specialist vehicles: Concrete agitators, garbage trucks, fuel tankers, livestock carriers, and car carriers. Each has specific handling requirements during towing. An agitator with hardened concrete in the drum weighs significantly more than an empty one, for example.
Common Breakdown Scenarios
- Engine failure: The most common reason we get called out. Turbo failure, injector problems, head gasket failure, or overheating. We connect the truck to our boom truck, disconnect the driveline if needed, and tow to the nominated repairer.
- Gearbox and driveline problems: If the truck cannot be put in neutral or the driveline has failed, we perform a driveline disconnect on site. This involves removing the tailshaft so the rear wheels can spin freely during towing. Our operators carry the tools and knowledge to do this on most common truck makes.
- Brake issues: Air brake system failures, compressor faults, or brake actuator problems. A truck with failed brakes cannot be driven, and towing it requires careful planning to manage the braking on the tow truck.
- Electrical faults: Alternator failure, wiring faults, ECU problems. Modern trucks with electronic engine management systems can become undriveable due to electrical faults that would not have stopped an older truck.
- Tyre failures: A steer tyre blowout makes the truck undriveable. A drive tyre failure may allow the truck to limp to a safe location, but sometimes the tyre has damaged the wheel, mudguard, or brake lines and the truck needs towing.
- Accident damage: Collisions, sideswipes, rear-endings, and single-vehicle incidents. Accident towing involves coordination with police, insurers, and sometimes TMR incident response. We handle all of that.
Pricing
We quote every truck towing job before dispatch. The quote is based on the truck type, weight, distance from our nearest depot to the pickup location, distance from the pickup to the destination, and time of day.
We do not add charges after the fact. The quote covers the callout, the tow, and the delivery. If we arrive on site and the job is different from what was described, we will discuss any changes with you before proceeding and before any additional costs are incurred.
For fleet operators with regular towing requirements, we offer account pricing with consolidated monthly invoicing.
Response Times
Our target response time within the Brisbane metro area is 45 minutes. Response to regional locations takes longer depending on distance. When you call, the dispatcher will give you an ETA based on the current location of the nearest available truck.
For motorway breakdowns, response is prioritised because of the safety and traffic management implications. We carry traffic management equipment on our trucks so we can set up lane closures and safety zones without waiting for a separate traffic control company.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you tow a truck with the engine running?
If the engine runs but the truck cannot be driven (gearbox fault, for example), we may be able to tow with the engine running for power steering and air brakes. If the engine will not run, we perform a driveline disconnect and manage braking from our tow truck.
Do you tow refrigerated trucks?
Yes. We tow refrigerated rigids and trailers. If the fridge unit is still running, we keep it running during transport where possible to protect temperature-sensitive cargo.
What information do I need when I call?
Your location (GPS pin or landmark), the truck make, model, and configuration, the approximate weight, what went wrong, and where you want the truck taken.
Can you store my truck if the repairer is not open?
We have holding yards at several of our depot locations. We can store your truck securely until the repairer can receive it.
