Tow Truck Melbourne
When a truck breaks down on Melbourne’s busy roads or highways, it disrupts more than just traffic – it puts businesses, drivers, and freight at risk. Punjab Towing provides fast, safe, and reliable truck towing in Melbourne, backed by years of experience in heavy vehicle recovery, transport, and emergency response.
We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a specialised fleet built for trucks, trailers, buses, and commercial fleets. Whether it’s a delivery vehicle, rigid truck, semi-trailer, or tilt tray, we have the equipment, training, and licensing to handle it safely.
Melbourne’s Trusted Tow Truck Provider
Truck towing isn’t the same as moving a standard car. It takes different tools, larger equipment, and a deep understanding of weight distribution, air braking systems, and axle load limits. Punjab Towing specialises in this category, offering full-service tow truck for light, medium, and heavy trucks across Melbourne and surrounding regions.
We assist with:
1. Breakdown towing for delivery and freight trucks
2. Emergency truck recovery on highways and industrial zones
3.Towing for accident-damaged rigid trucks and trailers
4. Relocation of decommissioned or unregistered trucks
5. Transport of disabled heavy commercial vehicles to repair yards
Our drivers are licensed for heavy vehicle towing and trained to operate under pressure, including in complex accident zones, high-traffic areas, and hazardous road conditions.

Our fleet is equipped to handle various truck types, including:
1. Rigid trucks (2 to 8 tonnes)
