Red Tow Heavy Truck Towing – Frequently Asked Questions
1. When do you need to disconnect the tail shaft on a truck before towing?
If the truck is empty and accessible from the rear, Red Tow prefers a rear tow as it is faster and more cost-effective. In this case, the tail shaft does not need to be disconnected, saving time and workshop labour. For forward tows, the tail shaft must always be disconnected to prevent gearbox damage.
2. How quickly can Red Tow attend a roadside breakdown in Melbourne?
Red Tow is one of the fastest heavy truck towing services in Melbourne. We typically arrive at most metropolitan breakdowns within 60–90 minutes. Once on site, it usually takes 30–60 minutes to safely hook up the casualty vehicle and prepare it for towing, depending on the complexity of the job.
3. Can Red Tow tow accident-damaged trucks and trailers?
By law, collision towing in Victoria must be handled by licensed accident tow operators authorised by Police, Fire, or Ambulance. Red Tow is not permitted to tow directly from an accident scene. However, we can attend all other types of incidents — such as a semi-trailer bogged on a roundabout or a breakdown that is not classified as a collision.
4. Does Red Tow provide salvage towing services?
Yes. Red Tow regularly provides salvage towing and transport services. While we cannot remove vehicles directly from accident scenes, we can tow damaged trucks, trailers, or machinery to and from auctions, depots, vendors, and buyers.
We frequently service Pickles, Manheim, and Slattery Auctions across Melbourne. Call 0407 733 869 for fast salvage transport.
5. What weights and dimensions can the SuperTilt transport without a permit?
Our SuperTilt semi-trailer can safely transport and tilt loads up to:
- 18.5 tonnes in weight
- 3.5 metres in height
- 3.5 metres in width
Loads larger than this may require a permit, which we can help arrange.
6. What size trucks and machinery can Red Tow handle?
Our Mack Titan tow truck, fitted with a Century KB55 underlift, is rated to tow up to 80 tonnes on the stinger in Australia. This allows us to tow all legal multi-combination vehicles in both Victoria and NSW, as well as large heavy machinery and equipment.
7. Which areas does Red Tow service?
Red Tow is based in Sunshine, VIC, making us the closest heavy towing operator to Melbourne’s north-west suburbs. Our pricing is most competitive in this region, but we provide Victoria-wide coverage and interstate transport on request.
