Professional medium-duty towing from AER Towing, available 24/7.
Call (858) 461-7383Medium-duty towing handles vehicles that regular light-duty trucks can't manage — anything from 10,001 to 26,000 pounds. We're talking box trucks, larger RVs, buses, delivery vehicles, and commercial trucks that are too heavy for standard wheel-lift or flatbed equipment. Our medium-duty wrecker uses a boom system with serious hydraulic power, along with heavy-duty winches rated for the extra weight and stress these bigger vehicles create.
The process starts differently than a regular car tow because weight distribution matters a lot more. Before we even hook up, our operator has to assess the vehicle's condition, check for air brake systems, and figure out the safest lift points. Box trucks especially need careful handling since their cargo can shift during the tow, changing the whole balance. We use adjustable boom arms and specialized rigging to distribute the load properly — it's not just about having a bigger truck.
Most medium-duty calls happen when commercial vehicles break down during deliveries or when RV families get stranded on their way to the desert or mountains. The towing process takes longer because everything has to be double-checked for safety, and we often need to secure loose cargo or disconnect auxiliary systems. Our medium-duty rig carries extra chains, straps, and blocking equipment because these heavier vehicles can cause serious damage if something goes wrong during transport.
Since the Vasquez family started AER, we've seen how stressful it gets when your business truck breaks down or your family vacation gets derailed by RV trouble. That's why our medium-duty operator takes time to explain exactly what's happening and gives you realistic timelines upfront — no surprises when you're already dealing with enough problems for one day.
