Heavier Vehicles Need Different Equipment

Medium-duty towing for vans, box trucks, and RVs in Kings Mountain, North Carolina

When a delivery van stops running on a Kings Mountain commercial street or a recreational vehicle breaks down along a highway outside town, standard towing equipment is not strong enough to handle the load. Medium-duty towing uses reinforced trucks with higher weight capacities and longer wheelbases, designed specifically for vehicles that exceed the limits of light-duty service. Arnold's Junk Cars responds to calls throughout Kings Mountain and Cleveland County with equipment built to move box trucks, passenger vans, and large RVs without overloading the tow rig or risking damage to your vehicle.

This service supports local businesses dealing with disabled delivery trucks, travelers whose motorhomes quit working mid-trip, and contractors whose work vans fail during a job. The tow truck positions itself securely, attaches heavy-duty chains or straps at load-bearing points, and lifts or loads the vehicle using hydraulic systems rated for the extra weight. Drivers familiar with industrial routes and commercial zones around Kings Mountain know how to navigate tight loading docks, narrow service roads, and busy intersections while hauling a larger vehicle.

If your van, box truck, or RV is stranded in or near Kings Mountain, contact Arnold's Junk Cars for medium-duty towing.

How Larger Vehicles Get Loaded and Moved

When you call for medium-duty towing in Kings Mountain, the driver confirms your vehicle type, weight estimate, and whether it can roll or if the wheels are locked. They arrive with a tow truck equipped with a reinforced boom, heavy-duty winch, and wide loading platform if using a flatbed. The driver positions the truck, extends the hydraulic arm, and secures chains or straps to your vehicle's frame, then lifts or pulls it onto the bed using controlled winch tension.

After the service is finished, your vehicle reaches its destination without additional strain on the axles, suspension, or body panels caused by improper towing methods. The driver releases the load carefully, ensuring the vehicle sits level and stable before disconnecting all rigging.

This service handles vehicles up to a certain gross weight and does not extend to heavy-duty commercial trucks or trailers requiring specialized permits. It works well for local business breakdowns, RV transport within the region, and moving vehicles from accident scenes or job sites around Kings Mountain when they cannot drive themselves.

Here Are Answers Before You Call

People with larger vehicles often wonder what to expect when arranging a tow, so these questions cover the details that come up most frequently.

What counts as a medium-duty vehicle?
Medium-duty towing covers vans, box trucks, small RVs, shuttle buses, and similar vehicles that weigh more than a standard car but less than a full commercial semi. If your vehicle has dual rear wheels or a cargo box, it likely needs medium-duty service.
How much does medium-duty towing cost in Kings Mountain?
Cost depends on the vehicle size, distance, and complexity of the pickup, but you receive a clear estimate before the driver dispatches. Calling Arnold's Junk Cars directly gives you pricing based on your specific situation in Kings Mountain.
Why does the driver need to know if my vehicle rolls?
Non-rolling vehicles require winching onto a flatbed or the use of wheel dollies, which takes more time and equipment. Letting the driver know in advance ensures they bring the right setup to Kings Mountain and avoid delays.
What happens if my RV breaks down on a highway outside town?
The driver meets you at the breakdown location, uses hazard markers if needed, and loads the RV safely off the roadway before towing it to your preferred repair facility or storage lot. Highway breakdowns near Kings Mountain are handled regularly.
What should I remove from the vehicle before it gets towed?
Take any valuables, personal items, and loose cargo that could shift during transport. The driver secures the vehicle itself, but items inside are your responsibility to protect.
