When Standard Towing Won't Work
Class 8 trucks, motorhomes and rolled rigs need heavy-duty wrecker recovery.
A grain truck jackknifed on Highway 50 during harvest season, a fifth-wheel trailer flipped on Highway 148, or a Class A motorhome stranded on Autoroute 50 all require rotator and heavy-duty wrecker equipment. Standard wheel-lift rigs cannot handle the weight, length or angle. Gatineau Towing operators assess the scene, confirm GVWR and damage scope, then route the right heavy-duty rig with the skill to recover safely.
The operator will ask about vehicle make, axle count, cargo weight and whether the unit is still drivable. Insurance details and police coordination happen on-scene. Pricing for heavy-duty towing in Quebec runs $80 to $150 for the hook-up, then $3 to $6 per kilometre depending on distance and conditions. After-hours calls between 10 PM and 6 AM carry a $20 to $50 surcharge, stated before the rig rolls. A wrecker service call is confirmed with a free quote and realistic arrival time.
