How much does heavy-duty towing cost?

Heavy-duty towing costs more than standard towing because of the specialized equipment and expertise required. Pricing depends on the weight of your vehicle, the distance we need to tow it, and the complexity of the job. We provide detailed quotes before we start work so you know what to expect. Many commercial insurance policies cover heavy-duty towing, so check your coverage.

Can you tow my RV with slide-outs extended?

In most cases, slide-outs need to be retracted before towing to prevent damage and ensure the RV fits safely on the road. If your RV is disabled and you can't retract the slides, we can sometimes help manually retract them, or we'll assess whether it's safe to tow with them out. Each situation is different, so we'll evaluate it when we arrive.

Do you offer 24/7 heavy-duty towing?

Yes, we're available around the clock for heavy-duty towing emergencies. Commercial breakdowns and accidents don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Call us anytime, day or night, and we'll dispatch our heavy-duty equipment to your location as quickly as possible.

Heavy-duty towing service for large vehicles in Kettering, Ohio

Not every tow truck can handle big jobs. Standard trucks work fine for cars and small SUVs, but when you need to move a commercial truck, RV, bus, or heavy equipment, you need specialized heavy-duty towing. At NimbleLift Kettering Towing, we have the equipment and trained operators to handle vehicles that weigh several tons. When regular towing won't cut it, we step in with the power you need.

What We Tow

Heavy-duty towing covers a wide range of large and specialized vehicles. If it's too big or too heavy for a standard flatbed, it falls into our category. Here's what we handle:

•Commercial trucks - Box trucks, delivery trucks, semi-tractors, and straight trucks
•RVs and motorhomes - Class A, Class B, and Class C recreational vehicles of all sizes
•Buses - School buses, shuttle buses, and tour buses
•Construction equipment - Small excavators, skid steers, and similar machinery on trailers
•Large trucks with trailers - Towing both the truck and its attached load when needed
•Agricultural vehicles - Farm trucks, tractors on trailers, and similar equipment

The Equipment Difference

Heavy-duty tow trucks are built differently than the trucks we use for regular cars. They have bigger engines, stronger frames, and more powerful winches. The wheels and axles are rated to handle extreme weight. Our heavy-duty trucks can tow vehicles weighing up to 20 tons or more, depending on the specific situation.

We use different attachment methods too. For some jobs, we use an underlift system that slides under the vehicle and lifts the front axle off the ground. For others, we use integrated boom systems or specialized rigging. The method depends on what we're towing, where it is, and where it needs to go. Similar to our flatbed towing services, we choose the safest approach for each situation.

Safety equipment is also upgraded for heavy-duty work. We use heavier chains, larger straps, and industrial-grade tie-downs. Our operators wear high-visibility gear and use proper traffic control measures, especially when working on highways or busy roads. When you're moving something that weighs as much as a house, there's no room for mistakes.

Common Heavy-Duty Situations

We get calls for heavy-duty towing from all kinds of customers. Business owners call when their delivery truck breaks down and they need it towed to a diesel mechanic. RV owners call when their motorhome has engine trouble on a cross-country trip. Construction companies call when equipment needs to move from one job site to another.

Accident recovery is another big part of heavy-duty work. When a commercial truck is involved in a collision on I-75 or Route 35, we work with law enforcement to clear the scene. These recoveries can be complex, especially if the truck rolled over or the cargo shifted. Our team has the training and equipment to handle these challenging situations safely. We also offer accident recovery and winching services for all vehicle types.

Sometimes the job is straightforward. A bus needs to go to a repair facility. A food truck needs transport to an event. An RV owner is relocating and wants their motorhome delivered. Whatever the reason, we have the capability to handle it.

Serving Kettering and Beyond

Heavy-duty towing often involves longer distances. While we certainly help local businesses and residents in Kettering, we also handle regional and long-distance transport when needed. If your vehicle broke down 100 miles away, we can come get it. If you need something moved from Kettering to Indianapolis or Columbus, we have the range to make it happen. Just give us the details and we'll work out a plan.
