When a forklift, skid steer, lift, or small machine must move, call Towstar Towing and Recovery™. Our trained team plans safe loading, clear access, and the right truck for the job. We provide fast machinery towing in Port Moody, from Moody Centre to Heritage Woods. Explore our towing services or call (604) 332-0894 for clear help.
Machinery can shift, roll, or scrape if the truck and tie-down plan do not fit the load. We check the machine size, weight, wheels, tracks, and pickup space before dispatch. Our flatbed towing team uses careful loading steps for steady handling. We also follow BC cargo securement guidance for safer road travel and secure delivery.
A broken machine can stop a crew and delay the whole day. Tell us where it sits, what went wrong, and where it needs to go. We can plan access near St. Johns Street, Murray Street, or Ioco Road. For larger units, our heavy duty towing service brings the lifting power and deck space needed for a controlled move.

Different machines need different loading plans. A forklift may need low clearance, while a scissor lift needs firm wheel blocks and even deck space. A tracked skid steer needs protected contact points. Our equipment towing crew reviews photos and basic specs before arrival. This helps us choose a safe truck, reduce delays, and protect the machine.
Start by sharing the machine type, rough weight, length, width, height, and condition. Tell us if it starts, rolls, steers, or has locked parts. We then plan the route and drop-off. For moves outside the Tri-Cities, our long distance hauling service can arrange a steady trip with clear timing and updates from pickup to delivery.
Some machines stop inside parkades, fenced yards, alleys, or steep driveways. These spaces can limit truck height and turning room. Send photos of the entrance, ceiling, gate, slope, and machine position. Our underground towing specialists can assess low-clearance access. We may use careful winching or stage the machine in an open area before safe loading.
Contractors, shops, property teams, and fleet managers need simple answers when equipment stops. Towstar Towing and Recovery™ keeps dispatch clear, from the first call to final placement. We can reach commercial areas near Barnet Highway and busy sites around Inlet Centre. When a work vehicle also needs help, our truck towing service can support the same job.

First, tell dispatch the exact pickup point, machine type, and problem. A photo of the data plate can help confirm weight. We also ask if the unit starts, rolls, brakes, or steers. For small support units and compact work vehicles, our light duty towing option may fit the job and keep the whole move simple.
Next, clear people, loose tools, and parked vehicles from the loading area. Mark soft ground, overhead wires, gates, and sharp turns. If the machine sits on a trailer or must move with one, our trailer towing team can review the hitch, tires, load position, and road-ready condition before the planned trip begins with fewer surprises.
The operator loads or winches the machine at a slow, controlled pace. Wheel chocks, chains, straps, and deck points are used based on the machine design. Some units cannot be pulled in a normal way. Our dolly towing service may help with specific rolling needs, while the final setup depends on weight, clearance, and safe connection points.
Before leaving, we confirm the route, delivery contact, and place where the machine should be set down. Tight roads near Moody Centre, slopes by Heritage Mountain, and busy areas near Rocky Point Park may need added planning. At drop-off, the operator checks space again, unloads slowly, and places the unit where the receiving team can safely inspect it.
People searching for a tow truck near me often need help now, but machinery towing also needs the right plan. Our team balances speed with safe handling. We serve job sites, shops, yards, and private properties in College Park, Glenayre, Ioco, and Heritage Woods. Call (604) 332-0894 and share clear details so we can send a suitable truck.
We can assess forklifts, skid steers, scissor lifts, compact loaders, rollers, generators, small tractors, and other job-site machines. The right truck depends on weight, size, ground clearance, and whether the unit can roll or steer. Our construction machinery towing guide explains key planning points. Send clear photos and model details before we dispatch the truck.
Cost depends on the machine weight, truck type, loading time, access, distance, permits, and special recovery work. A simple planned move may cost less than a machine stuck on a slope or inside a tight yard. Our heavy towing cost guide covers common price factors. Call (604) 332-0894 for a clear job-based estimate today now.
Yes, many machines can be moved even when they do not start. We need to know whether the wheels or tracks turn, the brakes release, the steering works, and there are safe tow or winch points. Photos help us plan. In some cases, added recovery tools or another truck may be needed to load the unit without causing damage.
Please share the machine make and model, rough weight, length, width, height, pickup address, drop-off address, and access photos. Tell us if it runs, rolls, steers, or has locked parts. Also note gates, low roofs, slopes, soft ground, or overhead lines. These details help dispatch choose the right tow truck and reduce delays at the site.
