Call Now: (631) 640-0868Big Vehicles Require the Right Equipment
A standard tow truck is built for passenger cars and light trucks. When the vehicle in question is a box truck, a dump truck, a bus, a large RV, or a commercial trailer, you need a different class of equipment entirely. Trying to move a heavy vehicle with an undersized truck puts the load, the driver, and everyone else on the road at risk.
Our heavy duty towing rigs are rated for large commercial vehicles and can handle the weight, the wheelbase, and the clearance requirements that big jobs demand. We work with contractors, fleet operators, trucking companies, and individual owners who need a reliable partner when something big breaks down or needs to be moved.
We are available around the clock for heavy duty towing calls throughout Amityville and the surrounding Long Island communities. For our full list of services, visit the Amityville Towing Service home page.

Why Experience and Equipment Both Matter
Heavy duty towing is not just about having a bigger truck. Here is what sets a professional heavy tow apart from a basic recovery.
Weight ratings that match the job
Every piece of our heavy duty equipment is rated for the loads we take on. We do not push standard tow trucks beyond their limits to save a trip. Using the right truck from the start prevents accidents, delays, and liability issues on the road.
Rigging knowledge for complex loads
Attaching a heavy duty tow requires knowing where the vehicle's solid lift points are, how to distribute the load, and how to secure it for the road. A poorly rigged heavy vehicle can shift during transport or come loose on a turn. We train our operators on rigging so that does not happen.
Traffic and scene safety management
A heavy vehicle breakdown often blocks a lane or an intersection. Our drivers are trained to set up the scene safely before beginning the tow, which means cones, lights, and clear communication with anyone in the area. We get the vehicle out fast without creating more hazards.
Questions About Heavy Duty Towing
Here are the things business owners, fleet managers, and drivers most often ask us before booking a heavy duty tow.
What makes something a heavy duty tow job?
Generally, any vehicle over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight falls into the heavy duty category. This includes most commercial trucks, large buses, construction vehicles, and big RVs. If a standard flatbed or wheel-lift truck cannot safely handle the weight or size of your vehicle, you need a heavy duty rig. When you call us, just describe the vehicle and we will tell you right away what equipment is needed.
Do you handle heavy duty towing after accidents?
Yes. Commercial vehicle accidents often involve cargo spills, overturned trailers, or vehicles that have gone off the road and require both a winch recovery and a tow. We respond to these situations and work methodically to clear the vehicle from the scene. If there is a cargo spill, we coordinate with the appropriate parties before moving anything. Safety is the priority from the moment we arrive.
Can you tow my commercial vehicle to a specific shop or yard?
Absolutely. We can deliver your vehicle to any repair facility, fleet yard, storage lot, or commercial location you specify. For larger vehicles, we will confirm the destination can accommodate the size of the vehicle before we head out, which avoids any issues on arrival. Just give us the drop-off address when you call and we will plan the route accordingly.
Big vehicle. Big problem. We can handle it.
Call us any time and describe what you are working with. We will tell you exactly what equipment we will bring and give you an honest quote before we head out. Available 24 hours a day throughout Amityville, NY.
