HEAVY - DUTY TOWING SERVICES IN SAN ANTONIO
When large-scale vehicles break down or require relocation, the stakes are high — and the margin for error is slim. At Roadrunner Towing, we provide specialized heavy-duty towing services across San Antonio, designed for commercial fleets, industrial vehicles, and oversized equipment.
Our operators are trained to handle high-weight, high-risk recoveries with precision and professionalism.
Equipment That’s Built for the Big Jobs
Heavy-duty towing calls for more than brute strength — it demands advanced equipment, careful planning, and experienced handling. We tow and recover vehicles such as tractor-trailers, dump trucks, buses, motorhomes, large box trucks, and other over-dimensional loads. Whether you're facing a roadside emergency or coordinating a scheduled transport, we have the power and control to move your vehicle safely and efficiently.
One of our most versatile tools is the Big D Fabrications 40K heavy-duty dolly — built to haul medium- and heavy-duty vehicles with broken or missing axles or hubs. From garbage trucks with damaged axles to RV trailers with structural failure, this dolly is a game-changer. When paired with our heavy-duty rotator, it allows us to manage complex recoveries and load shifts with confidence and precision.

Safety, Stability, and Smart Recovery
With large vehicles, the risks multiply — from weight imbalances to environmental hazards. That’s why every heavy-duty tow is approached with a detailed safety assessment. Our team evaluates vehicle position, weight class, axle integrity, and recovery angles before making a move. Whether the vehicle is upright, overturned, or embedded, we deploy the right method — not just the fastest one.
How Heavy Towing Stands
Apart from Lighter Jobs
Heavy-duty towing is in a category of its own. These vehicles often exceed 26,000 pounds, require specialized clearance, and are subject to tighter safety and legal requirements. Unlike light or medium towing, these jobs involve complex rigging, high-capacity hydraulics, and multi-operator coordination — making them unsuitable for general tow providers. Roadrunner is equipped for the heavy work others can’t touch.
