Over the weekend, Red Tow was called out to Werribee for another heavy vehicle relocation — this time, a Volvo Globetrotter Prime Mover that had reached the end of its working life and was ready for major refurbishment in Campbellfield. The truck was non-mobile, meaning it couldn’t be driven or rolled onto a trailer, so a standard tilt tray or light recovery truck wouldn’t do. That’s where Red Tow’s heavy towing expertise came in.
Precision Heavy Vehicle Towing from Werribee to Campbellfield
The job required careful setup and the right gear. We deployed our Mack Titan Heavy Tow Truck, specifically designed for prime mover and semi-trailer towing, equipped with hydraulic underlift gear and rated winches. The Globetrotter was positioned in a tight yard with limited access, so the first step was to assess angles, load balance, and connection points to ensure a safe recovery without damage to the chassis or bodywork.
Once the vehicle was hooked up, we caged the brakes and checked all air and electrical lines before securing it for transport. The trip from Werribee to Campbellfield took just over an hour — a smooth run made possible by our operators’ experience in long-distance heavy vehicle relocation.
Giving Heavy Trucks a Second Life
At Red Tow, we see many trucks like this Volvo Globetrotter that are far from finished — they just need mechanical attention or a full rebuild. Campbellfield is one of Melbourne’s busiest industrial and mechanical hubs, home to workshops that rebuild and restore trucks for fleets and owner-drivers. Our job is to get these non-running units there safely and efficiently so they can get back to work or be resold.
This Globetrotter, once refurbished, will return to hauling freight across Victoria — proof that the right towing support can keep valuable assets circulating in the transport industry.
