Big Rig Towing doesn’t tow cars, but if it’s a big rig, truck, bus, RV, or something that’s heavy enough to need a crane, we can get the job done! We make hundreds of rescues and recoveries every year and while they all present individual challenges they are all resolved at the end of the day.
Remember that not all vehicles are made to tow and the safety considerations of properly towing another vehicle or object cannot be understated. Our professionally trained drivers and fleet of trucks are fully equipped to handle any towing situation.
Big Rig Towing & Recovery was recently invited to participate in a fundraising event for the Calgary Special Olympics. In the images below, we demonstrated how to right a tanker rollover.

Big Rig to the rescue when this forklift tried to make an escape through the floor of this trailer! We were called to bring our 75-ton rotator to the scene. After making an adjustment to the roof of the trailer, the rotator made quick work of getting the forklift out and back to work.
Moving heavy equipment is a job for the professionals. When they say don’t try this at home, they mean don’t try this at all if you don’t know what you’re doing!
We are licensed and insured so rest assured that while your rig is in our control it is covered by the most comprehensive insurance available to our industry.
At Big Rig Towing we aren’t always called out to accidents where wreckage is strewn all over and there’s a broken rig that needs righting or towing. Sometimes it’s just a large piece of equipment that has met its end too soon. For example, this big excavator that simply burned out on the job-site. We just picked it up and took it to the scrap yard!
If you find yourself in a disabled or precarious situation give Big Rig Towing a call at 866-398-7444. We’ll help you out when you need to get back on the road or even back to work as quickly as possible. We’re dedicated to providing IMMEDIATE 24/7 service!

If you’ve inadvertently ended up off the hardtop and are carrying a heavy load, you’re likely in trouble!
Spring snow and rain can make roadsides and fields soft and wet, turning them into mud traps. If your rig gets stuck in the mud, it can be a real hair puller to get it “unstuck”.
Mud likes to suck in and trap axles from forward or backward movement. When you spin the tires in an attempt to free them, they will only sink the truck further and deeper into the mud and make the situation worse. You can try to dig some mud from the front end of the leading wheels and then nudge the rig forward slowly until you gain solid ground, but if that fails you can save yourself a whole lot of effort and back pain by contacting the professionals. Big Rig Towing is available 24/7 to come to the rescue.
In the image below this trailer slid off the road loaded with a 40,000 lb packer. Big Rig lifted both the machine and the trailer, placed them back on the road, and got them back on their way safely and quickly.
If you find yourself in a desperate situation give us a shout at 1 (866) 398-7444 for immediate service!
