Heavy Duty Towing in Mesa, AZ
When standard tow trucks can’t handle the job, Tow Mesa’s heavy-duty
towing division is ready to respond. We provide professional heavy-duty
towing services for commercial trucks, buses, RVs, construction
equipment, and oversized vehicles throughout Mesa, AZ and the East
Valley. Our fleet includes heavy wreckers with 50-ton capacity,
experienced CDL operators, and the expertise developed over 30+ years of
serving Arizona’s commercial and transportation industries. From
semi-trucks disabled on US-60 to construction equipment stuck at job
sites, we have the muscle to move it.
Why Choose Tow Mesa
for Heavy Duty Towing?
Heavy-duty towing isn’t just about having big equipment—it’s about
knowing how to use it safely and efficiently. Commercial vehicles, big
rigs, and construction equipment present complex recovery challenges
that require specialized training and experience.
At Tow Mesa, our heavy-duty division handles:
- Semi-trucks and tractor-trailers (loaded or
empty) - Box trucks and straight trucks
- Commercial buses and shuttles
- Class A, B, and C motorhomes
- Construction equipment (excavators, skid steers,
rollers) - Agricultural equipment (tractors, combines,
harvesters) - Fifth wheels and heavy trailers
- Municipal vehicles (garbage trucks, fire apparatus,
ambulances)
What separates Tow Mesa from other heavy-duty towing companies in
Mesa? First, our operators are true professionals. They hold commercial
driver’s licenses (CDL) with appropriate endorsements and have extensive
experience with large vehicle recovery. They understand air brake
systems, tandem axle configurations, and the physics of heavy loads.
Second, we respond quickly. A disabled commercial vehicle on the
Superstition Freeway or Loop 202 creates traffic hazards and potentially
costs thousands in lost revenue. Our heavy-duty trucks are strategically
positioned throughout the East Valley for rapid deployment. Average
response time for commercial calls is 30-45 minutes.
Third, we work efficiently with fleet managers, insurance companies,
and trucking dispatchers. We understand the documentation requirements
for commercial tows, can coordinate with load-transfer services if cargo
needs to be moved, and communicate clearly throughout the process.
Fourth, we’re a family-owned business that treats commercial clients
as partners. Many Mesa-area businesses rely on us as their preferred
heavy-duty towing provider because we deliver consistent, professional
service year after year.
Our Heavy Duty Towing
Process
Heavy-duty towing operations require careful planning and
execution:
Step 1: Assessment — When you call 480-725-5862, we
gather complete information: vehicle type, approximate weight, load
status, location, and nature of the breakdown. This determines what
equipment we dispatch.
Step 2: Dispatch — We deploy the appropriately sized
heavy wrecker. For extremely heavy loads, we may dispatch multiple units
or specialized equipment.
Step 3: Scene Safety — Upon arrival, our operator
assesses the scene and implements traffic control measures if needed.
Commercial vehicles on highways create significant hazards that must be
managed.
Step 4: Recovery Planning — Before connecting to
your vehicle, we develop a recovery plan that considers weight
distribution, damaged components, cargo status, and destination
requirements.
Step 5: Hook-Up — Using the appropriate method
(underlift, boom, or combination), we connect to your vehicle at proper
lift points that won’t cause additional damage.
Step 6: Transport — Your vehicle is towed to the
designated repair facility, truck stop, or terminal. We maintain safe
speeds and appropriate following distance throughout.
Step 7: Documentation — We provide complete
documentation of the tow for your records, insurance, or fleet
management system.
