When it comes to relocating non-mobile trucks, trailers, or machinery from auction yards, you need an authorised heavy towing operator who understands the rules, has the right gear, and knows how to get the job done safely. This week, Red Tow Heavy Trucks was called to Pickles Auctions in Tullamarine to relocate a salvage Mercedes truckrecently sold to a buyer based in Laverton, Victoria.
The Job
The Mercedes was a non-running, damaged vehicle that could not be driven off the auction site. Red Tow deployed its Mack Titan Underlift Heavy Recovery Tow Truck, purpose-built for towing prime movers, heavy rigs, and industrial trucks. Using the underlift, our team safely lifted the front axle, secured the load, and towed the vehicle from Tullamarine to Laverton without issue.
Auction yards like Pickles, Manheim, and Slattery only allow authorised and fully insured heavy towing operatorsto remove non-mobile assets. These rules ensure safety for all parties and prevent damage to valuable vehicles during loading and transport.
Why Professional Heavy Towing Matters
Relocating a salvage or broken-down truck isn’t a simple tow job. It requires:
- Specialised equipment like our Titan Underlift and hydraulic winches
- Trained heavy recovery operators familiar with securing and balancing heavy loads
- Compliance with auction site procedures and permits
- Insurance coverage for high-value and damaged vehicles
Using the wrong equipment or an unqualified operator can cause structural damage, delays, or even result in refused pickup at the auction site.
