Machinery towing needs a careful truck, smart loading, and a driver who knows tight sites. Towstar Towing and Recovery™ helps move small machines, compact equipment, and work gear around Coquitlam BC with safe planning and clear updates. For local help near United Boulevard, Burquitlam, Maillardville, or Lougheed Highway, book our towing services team today. We keep the call simple from start to finish.








When a small machine will not move or a job site needs quick transport, our team plans the tow before the truck arrives. We check access, weight, tire condition, and loading room so the move stays simple. If the job is closer to construction gear than a standard car tow, our equipment towing services can help too.
Some machines need a flat deck because the wheels, tracks, or frame cannot handle a rough pull. We look at the size, ground clearance, steering, and brake status before choosing a loading plan. For delicate loads near Austin Heights or City Centre, our flatbed towing services give the machine a steadier ride. That matters when a unit has weak steering or cannot roll well.

Heavy or awkward machines can shift if they are not loaded with care, so we use steady steps and keep you updated before leaving the site. Our team follows safe loading habits, including tie-down checks and route planning. You can also read about safe load securement when moving equipment. For bigger jobs, see our heavy duty towing services.
Machinery towing is common around service yards, repair shops, farms, warehouses, and building sites. We can help when a lift, sweeper, small roller, compressor, or other machine needs transport. For larger work vehicles, our truck towing services may be a better fit, and for out-of-city moves, ask about long distance hauling services. We explain limits before arrival.
Before a machine is loaded, we ask simple questions about weight, length, wheels, attachments, and pickup space. This helps the driver bring the right gear and avoid delays near Burke Mountain, Cape Horn, or Westwood Plateau. If the machine is attached to a small work trailer, our trailer towing services can support that move. This makes the pickup safer for everyone.
Not every machine sits beside a wide road. Some are inside parkades, gated yards, narrow lanes, or sites with low entry points. We confirm height, turning space, slope, and safe winch angles before the tow starts. When access is limited, our underground towing services experience helps us plan a cleaner pickup. This is useful around older parkades and busy work yards.
Need a Quote before scheduling in for roadside assistance?
First, tell us where the machine is, where it needs to go, and what kind of machine it is. Share any known weight, size, or steering issue if you have it. This helps Towstar Towing and Recovery™ choose the right truck, set a clean arrival plan, and avoid sending the wrong setup. It also helps us give better phone guidance before dispatch.
Next, we look at pickup access and choose a safe loading method. A lighter unit may only need a smaller setup, while some gear needs more deck space and stronger winching. If your move is smaller than a full machine tow, our light duty towing services may be enough for the job. We explain the choice in plain words.
Then the driver secures the machine and confirms the route. We try to avoid rough turns, tight grades, and busy loading zones when possible. This same careful thinking helps with specialty moves, from site gear to larger recreational units, including our RV towing services for customers who need size-aware transport. The goal is a smooth tow, not a rushed tow.
At drop-off, we place the machine where access is safe and practical. Tell us if the unit must face a certain way, sit near a bay door, or stay clear of traffic. For watercraft or trailer-style loads, our boat towing services team can help with careful transport planning too. We slow down when space is tight or the ground is uneven.
Customers call Towstar Towing and Recovery™ because machinery moves need more than speed. They need calm planning, careful loading, and honest updates. From Mundy Park area streets to United Boulevard yards, we help owners, contractors, and shops move equipment without guessing. Call with the machine details and we will guide the next step. You get simple answers before we roll.
Yes. We can help with many small machines and work units at yards, shops, and job sites. Tell us the machine type, pickup address, drop-off address, and any access issues. We will ask the right questions before sending a truck, so the driver arrives with a plan that fits the job.
Arrival time depends on traffic, truck availability, and the machine details. A simple tow near City Centre may be faster than a tight site pickup near Burke Mountain. Call Towstar Towing and Recovery™ with the location and load type, and we will give a clear dispatch update before the truck heads out.
Please remove loose items, fold or secure attachments if possible, and tell us if the unit rolls, steers, or brakes. Photos can also help. If the machine is blocked in, let us know before dispatch. These small details help us load faster and reduce the chance of delays on site.
Cost can change with machine size, pickup access, distance, time, and special loading needs. A small local move may cost less than a heavy or long-distance job. For more background, read our guide to heavy-duty tow truck prices or call us with your exact machinery towing details.
