Move Box Trucks and Work Vehicles Without Delay

Medium-duty towing for commercial vans, box trucks, and service fleet vehicles in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

When a box truck breaks down on Interstate 25 or a work van stops running during a job in Colorado Springs, you lose time, money, and the ability to serve your customers. Tim's Mannagift Towing uses weight-rated equipment built to handle vehicles heavier than standard cars but not quite at the size of semis or buses. These trucks include delivery vans, shuttle buses, flatbed work trucks, and box trucks used by contractors, caterers, and service companies throughout Colorado Springs.

Medium-duty towing requires stronger lift capacity and reinforced attachment points compared to light-duty service. The truck that arrives will have a boom or underlift system designed to distribute the load evenly and keep the vehicle stable during transport. Whether your van suffered an engine failure on a residential street or your box truck was involved in a minor collision near a loading dock, the operator will secure the vehicle using chains, straps, and positioning blocks that prevent shifting or tilting.

If your commercial vehicle is stuck and you need it moved to a shop or back to your yard in Colorado Springs, contact Tim's Mannagift Towing to confirm your vehicle fits within medium-duty specifications.

What happens when the tow truck arrives for your work vehicle

The driver evaluates your vehicle's weight, wheelbase, and ground clearance before choosing the best lift method. In Colorado Springs, medium-duty tows often involve vehicles parked on slopes or tight commercial lots, so the truck is positioned to avoid obstacles like light poles, dumpsters, and other parked vehicles. Chains are hooked to the frame at factory-rated points, and hydraulic lifts raise the front or rear axle depending on drivetrain layout.

After your vehicle is secured and lifted, it will ride with two wheels on the ground or fully elevated depending on the type of underlift used. You will see the truck move slowly and deliberately through turns and lane changes to keep the load centered. Once delivered, your vehicle is lowered onto level pavement and disconnected without leaving fluid stains, torn bumpers, or bent undercarriage components that were not already damaged.

This service works well for roadside breakdowns and accident recoveries, but it does not cover off-road extraction or vehicles stuck in ditches without paved access nearby. If your truck has a load still inside, you may need to remove cargo before towing to stay within weight limits, depending on how much your vehicle and its contents weigh together.

What business owners and fleet drivers want to know

Fleet managers and business owners calling for medium-duty towing typically want to know if their vehicle qualifies, how quickly it can be moved, and whether the tow will affect insurance claims or repair timelines. The answers depend on vehicle specs, location, and what caused the breakdown.

What types of vehicles qualify for medium-duty towing?
Medium-duty towing handles box trucks, cargo vans, passenger vans, small buses, flatbed work trucks, and similar vehicles with a gross weight between 10,000 and 26,000 pounds. If your vehicle is larger than a standard SUV but smaller than a semi, it likely fits this category.
How quickly can a medium-duty tow truck reach my location in Colorado Springs?
Dispatch times vary based on truck availability and your location, but most medium-duty tows in Colorado Springs are picked up within 45 minutes to an hour. Highway breakdowns may receive priority during peak traffic periods to clear lanes and reduce hazards.
Will the tow truck be able to handle my vehicle if it is fully loaded with tools or materials?
Weight capacity depends on both the vehicle and the tow truck's rated limits. You should provide an estimate of the loaded weight when calling so the dispatcher can send the correct equipment and avoid unsafe towing conditions.
What happens if my vehicle has rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive?
Rear-wheel-drive vehicles can often be towed with the rear wheels lifted and front wheels on the ground, while all-wheel-drive vehicles may require a flatbed or dolly system to avoid drivetrain damage. The operator will ask about your vehicle's drive configuration before loading.
Can I get my vehicle towed directly to a repair shop I choose?
Yes, you can request delivery to any accessible repair facility or business location in or near Colorado Springs. The driver will confirm the address and estimated drop-off time once your vehicle is loaded and secured.
