Semi-truck towing in Ottawa
Semi-trucks require high-capacity towing solutions due to their size and weight. Our heavy-duty wreckers are fully equipped to handle tandem-axle and tri-axle trucks across Eastern Ontario. We assist with breakdowns, accidents, and recovery from off-road or snowy conditions. With thousands of 18-wheelers passing through Ottawa weekly, our fast-response towing helps minimize delays and get drivers back on the road.
RV & Motorhome Towing
RVs and motorhomes often require flatbed or underlift towing depending on size and drivetrain. Whether you’re a tourist passing through or a resident heading to a nearby campground, we offer reliable towing for Class A, B, and C RVs. Our operators understand the extra care needed to avoid damaging components like slide-outs, leveling systems, and plumbing.
Construction Equipment Transport
Our lowboy trailers and heavy-duty wreckers are ideal for transporting construction equipment throughout Ottawa and rural job sites. From mini-excavators to backhoes and compactors, we ensure secure loading, transport, and offloading. Contractors trust us to meet tight schedules and strict safety requirements at construction zones across the region.
Big Rig Recovery
When a big rig ends up jackknifed or rolled over, you need more than just muscle—you need strategy and precision. Our rotator trucks and air cushion systems allow us to upright and recover big rigs without causing secondary damage. Whether on a narrow ramp or a snowy embankment, we coordinate with local law enforcement to clear the scene safely and quickly.

Ottawa’s Heavy Trucking Scene: Why Reliable Towing Matters
Ottawa is a major link in Eastern Ontario’s freight and logistics chain. With over 22,000 commercial trucks crossing the Ontario-Quebec border daily (Statistics Canada), truck traffic is high and roadside incidents are inevitable.
When an 18-wheeler breaks down, it can block major roadways, disrupt traffic, and impact supply chains. That’s why professional, licensed heavy-duty towing in Ottawa is critical—not just for your fleet, but for road safety and the broader economy.
Our team is certified and trained for:
- Accident recovery in complex scenarios – Including jackknifes, underrides, and load spills.
- Towing on narrow city streets or busy highways – We’re familiar with high-traffic zones like Bronson Avenue and Nicholas Street.
- Recovery in construction zones or muddy terrain – Ideal for Ottawa’s suburban development corridors and rural infrastructure projects.
- Load transfers to reduce axle strain or balance freight – Prevents citations and ensures legal weight distribution before continuing travel.
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) provides oversight for commercial vehicle standards and enforcement, helping ensure safe recovery protocols across the province.
