For excavators, trenchers, skid steers, and other work gear, our machinery towing service may be the right fit. We will review loading access and the delivery address before dispatch.
Some machines need a level deck, strong ramps, and secure tie-downs to travel well. Our team reviews ground space, loading points, and the safe working weight before a move. flatbed towing can help with loads that fit the truck. BC also explains cargo securement rules for commercial loads. Tell us about loose parts, forks, or attachments so we can plan the pickup with care.

A large loader or heavy work machine can need more than a basic tow truck. The right choice depends on total weight, machine size, ground clearance, and the path to the site. We can review whether heavy-duty towing is needed for the job. We also check the route before moving a wide or tall load, especially near busy roads such as Front Street and Brunette Avenue.
Moving a machine between projects takes good timing. A site manager can share the gate number, site contact, safe loading area, and delivery window with our dispatcher. If equipment rides on a suitable trailer, we can also discuss our trailer towing service. Towstar Towing and Recovery™ helps make each step easier for contractors near Uptown, Queensborough, and the industrial areas around Braid Street.
Not every machine stays in the same city. You may need to send a forklift to a new warehouse or move job site equipment to another part of BC. Our long-distance hauling service can help plan a longer trip when the load fits the available equipment. Share both addresses, machine measurements, and the target delivery date. We will discuss access, route needs, and the best next steps before the move.
Have the pickup and delivery addresses ready when you call. It also helps to know the make, model, weight, width, and height of the machine. Tell us if it has damaged wheels, a dead engine, or a part that cannot fold down. If your crew vehicle also needs help, our truck towing service may cover that separate task. Clear details help dispatch choose the right plan.

Start by taking a clear photo of the whole machine and any loose tools or attachments. Measure its widest point and check the maker plate for its listed weight. Tell dispatch if the machine has tracks, forks, tyres, or a bucket. These details help us review the safest loading method. A simple photo of the pickup area also shows gates, curbs, and other limits.
A machine may fit on a truck but still be hard to reach. Let us know about steep driveways, low roofs, narrow doors, and parked cars. Some sites near Downtown and the Quay have tight access. Our underground towing service is a separate option for certain low-clearance vehicle recoveries; it is not a promise that all heavy machines can leave a parkade. We check each job first.
Give us a name and phone number for someone at both ends of the trip. The pickup area should be free of people, parked vehicles, and loose items during loading. Make sure the receiving site knows when the machine may arrive. If a support car breaks down during the same project, light-duty towing can be arranged as a separate service. That keeps the equipment move clear and well planned.
Before the truck leaves, confirm where the machine should be placed at the destination. The drop-off area needs space for unloading, a stable surface, and a person ready to receive the load if required. Check for overhead wires, soft ground, and closed gates. Near the Queensborough Bridge or Victoria Hill, plan for busy traffic and give the driver clear site directions.
Equipment towing prices are based on more than the number of kilometres. A forklift at a level warehouse may need a different truck and loading plan than an excavator on rough ground. Distance, machine weight, access, timing, and any special route needs can change a quote. Towstar Towing and Recovery™ can review your details before dispatch so you know what the planned service covers. Call and ask about the full cost.
Yes, ask us about same-day or urgent equipment towing in New Westminster. Towstar offers 24-hour response, but actual pickup time depends on the load, available truck, and safe site access. Tell us if the machine will not start, has lost a wheel, or blocks a work area. We will review what is needed before giving you a pickup plan.

What If My Forklift Will Not Start? Share the model, weight, and whether it can roll.

What If The Machine Is Leaking Fluid? Tell dispatch before loading so the risk can be assessed.
The loading plan depends on each machine and the space around it. Our team checks its weight, shape, wheels or tracks, and safe lift points before picking a truck. We also ask about ramps, loose forks, buckets, and the ground at pickup. Suitable tie-downs and a stable deck help keep the load in place while the truck travels.
Do I Have To Remove Attachments? Tell us which parts can be lowered or secured.
Who Loads The Machine? The loading roles are confirmed when the job is booked.
Can You Move Equipment Without Keys? Sometimes, after reviewing how it can be handled safely.
