We offer professional towing services for construction vehicles, machinery, and equipment, safely transported to any job site.
Construction Equipment & Machinery Towing
TowSquad deploys heavy-duty flatbed tow trucks to transport construction machinery, landscaping equipment, and warehouse vehicles across Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, and Maple Ridge. Our operators use load-rated chain binders and reinforced tie-down points to secure heavy payloads during transit. This mechanical securement process prevents weight shifting while moving equipment between job sites, industrial yards, and repair facilities.
Small Machinery & Landscaping Equipment Towing
Landscaping contractors and independent operators require specialized hauling for compact machinery. Our flatbed trucks accommodate mini excavators, skid steers, trenchers, and commercial wood chippers. The hydraulic tilt deck creates a gradual incline, allowing for the low-clearance loading of tracked and wheeled landscaping equipment without causing ground scraping or undercarriage damage.
Forklift & Warehouse Equipment Transport
Industrial facilities regularly relocate material handling equipment between warehouses and loading docks. TowSquad transports electric pallet jacks, reach trucks, and standard counterbalance forklifts. The tow operators assess the machine’s gross weight and center of gravity to apply multi-point chain anchoring systems for strict transit stabilization.

This initial fee covers the heavy-duty flatbed truck dispatch and the commercial load securement protocol required for heavy machinery. Total transportation costs combine this base rate with a transparent per-kilometer charge calculated using the specific pickup location and the final job site destination.
Equipment & Construction Towing FAQ
Q: How do tow operators secure heavy construction equipment on a flatbed tow truck?
A: Tow operators utilize a minimum four-point anchoring system with Grade 70 steel transport chains to secure tracked and wheeled machinery. They attach the chains to designated structural frame points or manufacturer-approved D-rings to achieve an aggregate working load limit that exceeds 50% of the machine’s gross weight. Operators also lower all booms, buckets, and front attachments to the flatbed deck and secure them with independent load binders to comply with commercial load securement regulations.
Q: How does the hydraulic tilt deck facilitate the loading of compact machinery?
A: The hydraulic tilt deck creates a gradual incline that allows low-clearance equipment to drive directly onto the flatbed surface. This loading mechanism prevents undercarriage scraping and ground contact issues for tracked mini excavators, skid steers, and counterbalance forklifts. The operator adjusts the deck angle based on the specific wheelbase, weight distribution, and approach angle of the machinery.
Q: How is the final cost calculated for construction equipment transport?
A: The base rate covers the dispatch of a heavy-duty flatbed truck and the commercial load securement protocol required for industrial payloads. Dispatchers calculate the final transportation cost by adding a set per-kilometer travel rate to this base fee. The exact route distance from the initial pickup location to the final job site destination determines the total charge provided before deployment.
