What equipment towing looks like in Steveston
Most of our equipment calls are smaller than people expect. A landscaping trailer with a flat in a townhouse lot, a towable generator that has to leave a job site, a pressure washer trailer that won't make it home to a driveway off No. 1 Road. We bring the truck that fits, load it on the deck and take it to your yard, a repair shop or storage, the same careful way we handle flatbed towing for cars.
Bigger pieces, like a mini excavator, a skid steer or a scissor lift, go on the heavy flatbed with chains at the tie-down points the maker built in. If your work truck is the thing that quit, that's a job for heavy duty towing, and a pallet of materials is cargo transport. When you're not sure which it is, describe it and we'll sort it out on the phone.

Equipment towing near the harbour and the Trites Area
Steveston is still a working waterfront. The Steveston Harbour Authority runs the largest small craft commercial fishing harbour in Canada, with more than 500 commercial fishing vessels, loading derricks and paved gear storage across its Gulf of Georgia and Paramount sites. That means gear trailers and boat trailers coming and going, and some of them stop moving at the worst time. We know those roads, and we line the truck up so it doesn't block the harbour traffic.
Up the road, the Trites Area holds some of Steveston's last industrial lots near the river. A generator left behind on a finished job, or a trailer with a seized bearing, is an easy load for us there. A boat on its trailer is covered on our boat towing page, and heavier site machines move under heavy equipment transport, part of our heavy duty services.

How we secure equipment on a Steveston tow truck
A machine on a deck has to stay put through every stop on Steveston Highway. BC uses National Safety Code Standard 10 for cargo securement, and a commercial vehicle can't leave with a load that isn't contained, immobilized or secured. So we chain at the tie-down points, block the wheels or tracks, lower any bucket or boom, and check it all again before we pull out. The same habits keep a motorcycle upright on our deck.
From the village we usually head out along Steveston Highway to the new Steveston interchange on Highway 99, which keeps a heavy load off the narrow heritage streets around Moncton and Bayview. Taking it further than Richmond? That trip is priced under long distance towing, and we work out the number before we leave. Questions before you book? Send us a note with a photo of the gear.
