When Light-Duty Won't Cut It
Hamilton's Heavy-Duty Towing, Right Rig, Right Route, Right Away.
A rolled semi on Highway 403, a Class A motorhome with a blown transmission on the Lincoln Alexander Pkwy, a fifth-wheel trailer blocking the QEW shoulder near Stoney Creek, none of those situations end well with a standard wheel-lift. Heavy-duty rotators and wreckers in the Hamilton network are built for exactly these calls: highway clearance, commercial fleet recovery, on-scene insurance documentation and multi-axle load management.
Before any heavy-duty tow truck rolls, the operator collects make, overall length, GVWR and the nature of the failure. That information determines whether a rotator, a lowboy or a tandem-axle wrecker is the right tool. Expect a hook-up fee in the $80 to $150 range plus $3 to $6 per kilometre; heavy equipment sits at the upper end of that scale. After-hours calls between 10 PM and 6 AM carry a $20 to $50 surcharge, stated before the rig leaves the yard. See the full commercial towing options or check semi truck towing for tractor-trailer specifics.

Hamilton Towing Services, Answers Drivers Ask Most
Which tow truck fits your vehicle, what the full service range covers, how 24/7 availability works, and what to expect on pricing across Hamilton and surrounding cities.
A wheel-lift handles most passenger cars and light pickups. Flatbed towing is required for AWD vehicles, EVs, lowered cars and anything with low ground clearance, the deck keeps all four wheels off the pavement. Medium-duty covers box trucks and step-vans up to roughly 17,000 lbs. Heavy-duty wreckers and rotators handle Class 7 and 8 trucks, full-size motorhomes and fifth-wheel rigs. Describe your vehicle, its weight and what failed, and the operator matches the right rig before rolling.
Yes, towing, flatbed, heavy-duty, and every roadside service (battery boost, fuel delivery, lockout, flat tire, winch recovery) run around the clock. Calls between 10 PM and 6 AM may carry an after-hours surcharge of $20 to $50, which is confirmed before any rig is sent out.
One number, (289) 277-1744, handles calls from Hamilton, Burlington, Stoney Creek, Grimsby and Ancaster. Routing matches the nearest available unit that carries the right equipment for the job, a heavy-duty call won't be handed to a light-duty wheel-lift just because it's closer.

Transmission let go on a busy arterial during morning rush hour. Called Hamilton Towing, got a quote and ETA on the spot, and a flatbed tow truck was on scene in under 35 minutes. Dropped at my shop without a scratch.
