Complex Recovery Made Simple

Boom and rotator towing is not your standard tow. These services are designed to recover, lift, upright, or reposition large vehicles and cargo that can’t be managed with conventional tow trucks.

Our Oshawa-based fleet includes state-of-the-art hydraulic rotators capable of 360-degree rotation and boom extension for precise recovery in tight or dangerous situations. Whether you’re dealing with a fully loaded transport stuck on the side of Highway 401 or a bus rollover near Harmony Road, our heavy-duty team responds with experience, control, and safety at the forefront.

What Situations Require a Rotator Tow Truck?

Jackknifed semi-trucks on 407 ETR

If the vehicle is overturned, wedged, or in a dangerous location, a rotator truck may be necessary to safely and effectively recover it without further damage.
