It’s not every day you see a semi-truck stalled on the side of the road, but when it happens, it’s not a minor issue—it’s a massive one. As someone who has worked in the towing and recovery industry for years, I can confidently say that heavy duty towing is in a league of its own. Here in Aurora, CO, where commercial trucking routes crisscross the region and industrial vehicles are always on the move, heavy-duty breakdowns happen more than people realize. And when they do, MPH Towing and Recovery is who they call.
Let me take you behind the scenes of what it really takes to tow the “giants” of the road.
Towing a compact car is one thing—towing a fully loaded tractor-trailer is another. These heavy-duty vehicles can weigh 80,000 pounds or more. That means your everyday tow truck simply won’t cut it. At MPH Towing and Recovery, we’re equipped with specialized wreckers, rotators, and flatbeds that are designed to handle the size, weight, and complexity of these breakdowns.
But it’s not just about the equipment. It’s about skill, precision, and safety. Maneuvering a heavy-duty tow truck in tight spaces—on a freeway shoulder, at a job site, or even in a snowstorm—is no small task. That’s why our team undergoes regular training and certifications to ensure we’re ready for any scenario.
When a big rig breaks down, time is money. Every minute that vehicle is out of commission is a minute of lost business and frustrated schedules. We understand that urgency, and that’s why we offer 24/7 heavy-duty towing across Aurora and the surrounding areas.
Our dispatch team is trained to assess the situation quickly and send out the right type of truck and crew without delay. Whether it’s a mechanical breakdown, a jackknife incident, or a load shift that’s compromised the vehicle’s balance, we act fast—and more importantly, we act smart.
Heavy duty towing isn’t only about hauling a vehicle from point A to point B. Sometimes it involves recovery from a rollover, winching a truck out of a ditch, or safely transporting damaged cargo. We’ve dealt with frozen brakes, snapped axles, and even trailers hanging off overpasses. Every situation is unique, and it takes problem-solving on the fly.
At MPH Towing and Recovery, we’re proud to be problem-solvers. We don’t show up to complain about the mess—we show up to fix it.
With massive equipment and tons of weight in play, safety isn’t optional—it’s everything. From using the proper rigging techniques to stabilizing vehicles before towing, every action we take is done with the safety of our team, our clients, and the public in mind. We also work closely with law enforcement and emergency responders when accidents are involved to coordinate clean-up and clearance quickly and professionally.
Aurora is growing, and with that growth comes more trucks, more construction, and more demand for reliable heavy-duty towing services. We’ve earned our reputation in this community by showing up, staying prepared, and doing the job right every time.
Whether it’s a stranded cement mixer, a dump truck that slid off an icy road, or a charter bus that broke down mid-route, we’re proud to be the team Aurora relies on when giants break down.
So the next time you see a massive tow truck rumbling down I-225 or parked at the scene of a breakdown, remember—it’s not just towing. It’s expertise, muscle, timing, and trust. That’s what we deliver at MPH Towing and Recovery. And we’re always ready to answer the call.
