Everything You Need to Know About Light, Medium, and Heavy-Duty Towing

Yes, even towing comes in different sizes! Whether you drive a compact city car or a heavy-duty truck, there’s a towing service designed just for your needs. For any towing service in Montreal, Remorquage Top Speed is your reliable provider, always ready to respond quickly and efficiently. Here’s our guide to help you understand the differences between light, medium, and heavy-duty towing, and why Remorquage Top Speed is the team to call when you need expert help.

Light-Duty Towing: Perfect for Smaller Vehicles

Light-duty towing covers most standard vehicles like cars, motorcycles, small trucks, and light commercial vans, typically weighing up to 5,000 kg. This service uses agile tow trucks equipped with winches and lifting systems, ideal for navigating Montreal’s narrow and often congested streets.

Whether you’ve had a breakdown or an accident, Remorquage Top Speed responds promptly to assist on-site or transport your vehicle safely to your destination.

Light-duty towing is the most common service, but don’t be fooled, quality equipment and an experienced team make all the difference. Our experts know Montreal’s streets, conditions, and neighbourhoods inside and out, ensuring fast and reliable service wherever you are. Whether it’s a downtown breakdown during rush hour or a late-night call on the outskirts of the city, we’re equipped to handle every situation efficiently.

Medium-Duty Towing: For Larger or Specialized Vehicles

Medium-duty towing is designed for heavier vehicles such as RVs, tank trucks, agricultural vehicles, or certain commercial vehicles weighing up to around 8,000 kg. Remorquage Top Speed operates a robust fleet of tow trucks with low-bed platforms and specialized tools to handle these vehicles safely and efficiently.

Unlike light towing, medium-duty jobs often require more space to maneuver, but our experienced team is trained to work in all kinds of environments, from highways to commercial parking lots. Wherever you’re stuck, we have the right equipment and expertise to get the job done.

Heavy-Duty Towing: Power for Big Rigs and Industrial Machinery

Heavy-duty towing is all about power and precision. It’s used for massive 18-wheelers, semi-trailers, industrial equipment, containers, pools, and even spas. These loads often exceed 8 tonnes and require advanced skills and specialized trucks.

Remorquage Top Speed’s heavy-duty tow trucks are equipped with powerful winches and wheel lifts built to manage large-scale recoveries safely and efficiently. When you need strength, experience, and control, this is the service to rely on.

With over 60 tow trucks in operation and service available 24/7, year-round, we’re always ready to respond, no matter the size of your vehicle or the urgency of your situation.
