City Wide Towing and Recovery Service Ltd.

 >> Specialty Equipment <<

What can a professional recovery team do for you? We have the equipment, the personnel, the knowledge and the experience to handle any type of accident situation.

Our fleet consists of over 70 vehicles, including:

  • 6 heavy duty fully hydraulic tow trucks 

  • Air Cushion Recovery Unit

  • Emergency Lighting System

  • Modern equipment and trained personnel

City Wide Towing is a recovery system with 100 ton capacity,

Loaded tractor/trailer units are often very difficult, and sometimes impossible to off-load once they have been overturned but with our Air Cushion Recovery System of 100 ton capacity, City Wide Towing is fully capable of handling any kind of accident or overturned tractor/trailer. The quickest and most cost efficient method of recovery is to upright the unit loaded, and we do this with our low pressure Air Cushion Recovery Unit. What does this mean for our customers? It means damage free towing without extra inconvenience and cost.

 

Our recovery vehicle carries a comprehensive lighting system.

 

As many as ten 500-watt quartz halogen lights...

can be utilized to illuminate a recovery scene.

We truly are a 24-hour business, capable of operating at night on the darkest highway!

Power for the lighting system is created by a 5000-watt 120/240 VAC Generator

That also powers various electrical components in the recovery vehicle. A series of junction boxes and extension cords enables lights to be placed up to 500 feet from the power source. A portable "Genset" generator is also available and is easily carried to a remote area.

 

If a larger area must be illuminated, we have a 6000-watt Lister Diesel generator Lighting Tower System. This is a self-contained trailer unit complete with four 1000-watt metal halogen lamps.

Some tractor/trailer units are loaded with hazardous commodities,
which might make recovery difficult and/or dangerous. However, City Wide Towing's professional recovery team cooperates closely with the Fire Department and with the HAZMAT (hazardous Materials) Team to bring dangerous situations under control safely and efficiently.

Our diverse fleet also includes a Tracked Recovery Unit, which maneuvers easily in regions where standard tow trucks might have difficulty. Is your vehicle stuck off-road somewhere, deep in the bush? No problem! Our Tracked Recovery Unit can get to you and your vehicle quickly and efficiently, where ever you might be.
