We're Open Now - Emergency 24/7 Towing
62 Bridge Rd, Keysborough VIC 3173, Australia.
Running a business that relies on vehicles means downtime costs money. When your truck breaks down, your delivery schedule falls apart. When your bus needs to be relocated, your service gets disrupted. That’s where RoadSide Tows steps in with professional heavy tow truck solutions designed specifically for commercial operations. Our heavy truck towing Melbourne service understands the urgency of getting your fleet back on track, and we respond accordingly.
We’re not just another towing company – we’re a commercial towing company that understands business. Our team knows that when your truck is stranded, you’re losing revenue by the hour. We prioritise commercial calls, arrive quickly, and work efficiently to minimise your downtime. Whether you’re a transport company, dealership, mechanical workshop, or any business with commercial vehicles, we’ve got the equipment and expertise to help.
Large trucks present unique challenges when they break down. They’re too heavy for standard tow trucks, often in difficult positions, and require specialised handling. Our heavy towing service uses purpose-built equipment designed to safely recover and transport trucks, vans, and other substantial commercial vehicles. We handle breakdowns on highways, in loading bays, at depots, or wherever your vehicle has stopped.
Melbourne’s commercial districts see constant truck movement, from the Port of Melbourne to industrial estates in Dandenong and Laverton. Our team understands these areas and the specific challenges they present. We work quickly to clear broken-down trucks from loading zones, arterial roads, and business premises, getting your operations back to normal as fast as possible.
Dealerships and transport companies regularly need vehicles moved between locations. Our scheduled trade towing service provides reliable transport for single vehicles or multiple units. Whether you’re relocating stock between dealerships, moving vehicles to auction, or transporting newly purchased fleet additions, we handle the logistics professionally. Punctuality matters in business, and we take scheduled commitments seriously.
We work with automotive businesses across Melbourne, providing consistent service they can depend on. Our drivers understand the importance of protecting vehicle condition during transport – scratches and damage aren’t acceptable when you’re dealing with valuable stock. Every vehicle is loaded carefully, secured properly, and delivered exactly where and when promised.
Buses, coaches, and other large passenger vehicles require specialised towing equipment and experienced operators. As a trusted bus towing company, we handle everything from school buses to touring coaches, using appropriate equipment for their size and weight. Whether it’s mechanical failure, accident damage, or scheduled relocation, our team has the capability to move these substantial vehicles safely.
Large vehicles often break down in challenging locations – narrow streets, school zones, or busy terminals. Our operators assess each situation carefully, planning the safest approach for recovery and transport. We coordinate with local authorities when necessary and work efficiently to minimise disruption to traffic and your operations.
Mechanical workshops rely on dependable towing services to bring customer vehicles in and return them after repairs. Our commercial towing service provides consistent support for workshops across Melbourne. We understand the importance of careful handling – these aren’t our vehicles; they’re your customers’ property, and reputation matters. Every car, van, or truck we collect for workshops receives the same professional care.
We work with your scheduling, collecting vehicles when convenient and delivering them back on time. Need a vehicle picked up from a customer’s business? We handle it discreetly and professionally. Require multiple collections in one day? We coordinate logistics to make your workflow smoother. Consider us an extension of your service team.
Why Businesses Choose RoadSide Tows for Trade Towing:
Standard tow trucks can’t handle heavy commercial vehicles – you need specialised equipment operated by people who know how to use it. Our industrial tow truck fleet includes heavy-duty vehicles designed specifically for substantial loads. We’ve invested in the right gear because cutting corners with commercial recovery isn’t an option. When you call us for a truck or bus, we arrive with equipment that’s actually capable of doing the job properly.
We get it – downtime costs you money. Every hour your truck sits broken down, you’re losing productivity and potentially disappointing customers. That’s why we treat commercial calls differently. Our dispatch team understands urgency in business contexts and prioritises getting help to you quickly. We communicate clearly about arrival times, keep you updated on progress, and work efficiently once on scene. No mucking around, no delays – just professional service that respects your time.
Many of our commercial clients use us repeatedly because we deliver reliable, consistent service. We learn your preferences, understand your operational requirements, and adapt our service to suit your business. Need vehicles collected at specific times? We make that happen. Require detailed paperwork for your records? We’ve got systems in place. Want one contact person who knows your account? We arrange that. Consistency builds trust, and trust is what business relationships should be built on.

Trade towing is a specialised service for moving commercial, trade, and fleet vehicles such as vans, utes, trucks, and machinery. When your vehicle breaks down or needs relocation, a professional tow operator arrives with the right equipment to safely load, secure, and transport it to your preferred workshop or location.
Heavy truck towing requires specialised equipment and experienced operators that standard towing companies simply don't have. Our big truck towing company uses purpose-built heavy-duty tow trucks designed to handle the weight and size of commercial vehicles safely. Our operators are trained specifically for heavy vehicle recovery, understanding the unique challenges of loading, securing, and transporting trucks, buses, and other large commercial vehicles. We also understand business urgency - commercial breakdowns cost money, so we prioritise these calls and respond quickly.
Absolutely. Commercial emergencies don't follow 9-to-5 schedules, and neither do we. Our commercial towing operation runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether your truck breaks down at 2am on a delivery run or your bus needs recovery on a Sunday, we're available and ready to respond. You'll speak with actual team members who can dispatch help immediately, not answering services taking messages. We understand that in business, time is money, and delayed response costs you both.
Yes, and we actually prefer working with regular commercial clients. We offer competitive rates for businesses with ongoing towing needs, and we can establish account relationships that make everything smoother. Regular clients get priority scheduling, consistent service from operators who understand their requirements, and streamlined paperwork systems. Whether you're a dealership needing regular stock transfers, a workshop requiring customer vehicle collections, or a transport company with occasional breakdowns, we'll tailor our service to suit your business.
Our fleet handles a wide range of commercial vehicles, including delivery trucks, box trucks, refrigerated vehicles, buses, coaches, shuttle buses, trade vans, utility vehicles, and even some light industrial equipment. We have different-sized tow trucks for different loads, ensuring we always use appropriate equipment for your specific vehicle. If you're unsure whether we can handle your particular vehicle, just give us a call with the details - we'll let you know honestly whether we've got the right gear for the job.
Yes, our service extends throughout regional Victoria and major interstate routes. Many commercial operations involve long-distance travel, and breakdowns don't always happen in convenient locations. We handle highway recoveries, regional transport, and can arrange interstate towing for vehicles that break down far from home base. Our heavy vehicle capability means we can recover trucks on major freight routes and transport them back to Melbourne or to regional repair facilities, depending on your needs.
Pricing depends on distance, vehicle size, towing difficulty, and urgency. Standard trade towing starts from a base fee, with additional charges for kilometres, heavy-duty loads, or after-hours service. Most companies offer upfront quotes before dispatching a truck.
In business, you need service providers you can actually depend on. RoadSide Tows delivers reliable heavy towing solutions that keep your operations moving. With proper equipment, experienced operators, and a genuine understanding of commercial urgency, we’re the partner Melbourne businesses turn to when vehicles need recovering.
