When people think of towing, they often picture a standard tow truck pulling a broken-down sedan. But for us at MPH Towing and Recovery, the real test of strength—and skill—comes with heavy duty towing. In Aurora, where industrial transport, commercial fleets, and construction vehicles fill the roads, our work often involves far more than just moving stalled cars. We’re dealing with buses, semis, RVs, and even fully loaded box trucks. And when these giants break down, power alone isn’t enough—precision is everything.
I’ve been in this industry for years, and let me tell you: heavy duty towing is a different beast. These aren’t vehicles you can hook and haul with basic equipment. They require specialized rigs, advanced training, and a deep understanding of safety and logistics. At MPH Towing and Recovery, we’ve built our reputation around combining raw mechanical power with meticulous technique—a blend that ensures we not only get the job done, but get it done right.
One of the biggest misconceptions I encounter is that bigger tow trucks just mean stronger engines and longer chains. The truth is, every heavy vehicle poses a unique challenge. A tractor-trailer jackknifed on I-225 requires a completely different strategy than a fully-loaded dump truck stuck at a job site. We’re not just recovering vehicles—we’re preventing further damage, protecting cargo, and ensuring traffic flows safely around us.
At MPH Towing and Recovery, we use rotators, heavy wreckers, and air cushion recovery systems to lift, stabilize, and transport massive vehicles. Our fleet is equipped for every situation, and our crew undergoes regular training to stay sharp. We don’t just tow—we plan, assess, and execute.
Being based in Aurora, we see it all. The city is a major hub for both local and interstate transport, meaning we’re often responding to incidents on highways like I-70 and E-470. Here are some of the most common calls we handle:
Each call is different, and that’s what keeps our work both challenging and rewarding.
With large vehicles, safety isn’t optional—it’s essential. One wrong move can endanger our operators, the public, and the vehicle itself. That’s why we approach every call with a clear safety protocol. Before we even hook up a truck, we assess weight distribution, road conditions, traffic patterns, and potential hazards.
Our team is licensed, insured, and trained in DOT compliance and heavy recovery techniques. We’re proud to say that our safety record is one of the strongest in the region.
When your business depends on vehicles, downtime isn’t just inconvenient—it’s expensive. That’s why so many companies and drivers trust MPH Towing and Recovery for their heavy duty needs. We respond fast, arrive ready, and handle each recovery as if it were our own.
From the moment we receive a call, our dispatch and field teams work together to ensure the right equipment and people are on site. We communicate clearly with clients, coordinate with law enforcement when needed, and always aim to get vehicles back on the road or to a repair shop as quickly and safely as possible.
Heavy duty towing isn’t about brute strength alone—it’s about understanding the machines, mastering the tools, and working with precision under pressure. Here in Aurora, where transportation and commerce never stop, MPH Towing and Recovery is proud to be the name drivers count on when the big rigs need help.
If you ever find yourself in need of serious towing muscle with the professional care to match, give us a call. Power meets precision here—and that’s how we keep Aurora moving.
