Heavy Vehicle Towing Sydney
Specialist towing for buses, rigid trucks, prime movers and semi-trailers. Heavy-duty rated equipment, licensed operators, 24/7 across NSW.
When Your Heavy Vehicle Goes Down, We Come Up
A broken-down bus blocking a main road or a prime mover disabled on the M7 isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a business and safety emergency. Opal Towing operates heavy-rated tow trucks with the capacity and operator licensing to handle these situations fast, safely and legally.
Our operators hold the required NSW heavy vehicle tow truck authority endorsements and our equipment is regularly inspected and rated. We tow rigid trucks up to 4 axle, semi-trailers and B-doubles, buses and coaches, tankers and skip trucks.
For complex breakdowns — disabled on a freeway, rolled onto its side, or loaded with freight — we assess on-site and coordinate recovery using the most appropriate method including rotator cranes where required.

FAQ
Heavy Vehicle Towing Questions
Our heavy equipment is rated for gross vehicle masses exceeding 20 tonnes. For very large loads — articulated B-doubles at full GCM or multiple-axle rigids — we assess on a job-by-job basis and can arrange additional support equipment including rotator cranes for overturned vehicles. Call with your vehicle’s specifications and we’ll advise immediately.
Yes — freeway and motorway breakdowns are a significant part of our heavy vehicle work. Our operators are experienced at working in active traffic environments, and we carry the required traffic management equipment. We’ll coordinate with TfNSW and the relevant road authority as needed to ensure the safe recovery of your vehicle.
Yes. If your business operates multiple heavy vehicles in the Sydney region, we can set up a fleet account with consolidated monthly invoicing, priority dispatch and agreed rate schedules. Call to discuss your fleet size and typical job requirements and we’ll tailor an arrangement accordingly.
In most cases we disconnect the prime mover from the trailer and recover each separately for safe and legal transport. For short recoveries in certain circumstances, the combination can sometimes be towed as a unit — our operator will assess on-site and advise the safest approach.
