When a loaded semi goes off the shoulder, a heavy duty wrecker is the truck that gets the call. These units are built for heavy vehicle recovery and commercial vehicle towing, not everyday light duty runs.
Jerr-Dan heavy duty wreckers come in 25, 35, and 50-ton configurations. Every one is built with high strength steel for maximum power, stability, and durability.
What a Heavy Duty Wrecker Can Handle
- Loaded semis and trailers
- Buses and motorcoaches
- Dump trucks and box trucks
- Farm and construction equipment
- Rollovers and off-road recoveries
If it’s too big for a light duty truck, it’s a job for a heavy duty tow truck.
Integrated vs. Independent Heavy Duty Wreckers
Integrated units pair the wrecker body and chassis as one package. Independent units let you match the body to the chassis of your choice.
Both configurations give you the boom and winch capacity for serious vehicle recovery work. Our sales staff can walk you through which setup fits the calls you actually get, and financing options are available to help you get the right unit working for you sooner.
Fleet and Commercial Towing
Heavy duty towing contracts are where these trucks earn their keep. Police rotation work, municipal contracts, truck repair shops, and fleet accounts all call for heavy duty recovery trucks that show up and get the job done.
Adding a heavy duty wrecker to your fleet means taking calls your competitors can’t. It also means commercial vehicle towing jobs that pay better than the average light duty run.
Buying New vs. Used Heavy Duty Wreckers
New or used? Both get the job done. It comes down to budget, timeline, and how the truck fits your plans.
- A new heavy duty wrecker gives you the latest Jerr-Dan engineering, full warranty coverage, and the exact chassis and body spec you want.
- A used heavy duty wrecker gets you into heavy recovery work at a lower price point, or adds fleet capacity without the wait of a new build.
