When you say Big Rig Towing you immediately think of big trucks and trailers being pulled out of ditches or hooked up to other big trucks to be towed but that’s not always the case.
Sometimes things just fall off trucks or a corner taken too fast results in whatever load is being transported catapulted onto the side of the road or worse into the middle of the road.
Big Rig has the capability of managing any of these scenarios and regularly practices for just these situations.
Like this big excavator that lost it’s way.

Not all Big Rig Towing’s calls are for difficult roll overs or impossibly stuck rigs. Sometimes we a called to lift heavy items from one place to another with our 75 ton Rotator other times to assist in training exercises for our fire and police departments.
Once in a while we get a plain old mechanical failure that leaves someone stranded. This however is not how you want to save gas or see the mountains on your family vacation. That being said we have rescue vehicles designed for every occasion.
Get our app and get an immediate response whatever or wherever your breakdown.

When this trailer full of 35,000 chickens rolled over this was not only a truck recovery but a rescue mission as well.
Most of the trapped birds were still alive and had to be extracted from the trailer before it could be set upright for transport and the birds could be sent on to their destination.
Another feather in the Big Rig Towing cap.

This double decker city bus had an engine fire that rendered it unusable. The bus was initially towed back to the contractor’s yard. Big Rig Collision in Calgary was contracted to do the repair work and they hired us to bring it back. The rear tires were burned off and the air system was completely distroyed so the bus had to be flat towed from Sherwood Park to Calgary. The journey was made even longer as bridge heights in Edmonton made the cross city drive a nine hour adventure.
