What Is Equipment
Towing in Calgary?
Equipment towing is the transport of machinery, such as forklifts, scissor lifts, and skid steers, between job sites, rental yards, or storage using a flatbed truck and proper load securement.
Full Pull Towing & Recovery works with contractors, equipment rental yards, and warehouses across Calgary who need machinery moved without owning their own trailer or hiring a dedicated logistics team.
This is not the same as oversized heavy-haul transport. We handle equipment that fits safely on a standard flatbed, which covers the vast majority of what construction and rental businesses need moved day to day.

What Affects Equipment
Towing Cost in Calgary?
We don't publish a flat rate because no two equipment moves are the same. Here is exactly what goes into your quote, confirmed before any truck is dispatched.
Weight & Size
Larger equipment needs more securing time and greater truck capacity.
Distance
Job site to job site within Calgary costs less than cross-region moves.
Site Access
Gravel lots, gates, or tight parking can affect loading time.
Scheduling Lead Time
Booking ahead is more cost-efficient than urgent same-day requests.
Equipment Type
Wheeled equipment like scissor lifts needs different securement than a generator or skid steer.

Our Flatbed Fleet:
Built For Equipment Loads
Full Pull Towing & Recovery runs 3 flatbed tow trucks sized and rated for job site equipment, so your forklift, scissor lift, or skid steer gets the right deck and tie-down capacity.

Rated for forklifts, scissor lifts, skid steers, and generators, the equipment that makes up most day-to-day contractor and rental yard moves.
On-Site Loading & Ramps
Low-angle ramps and rated straps and chains load wheeled equipment safely, even on gravel lots or tight job site parking.
Calgary Winter Equipment Moves: Frozen Ground & Icy Ramps
Full Pull Towing & Recovery keeps flatbed trucks running through Calgary winters, when job sites face frozen ground, icy loading ramps, and equipment that's harder to start in the cold. Winter doesn't pause construction and rental schedules, so it shouldn't pause equipment transport either.
Cold hydraulics on scissor lifts and generators, ice buildup on tie-down points, and gravel lots that freeze into uneven ruts all change how a load gets secured. Our operators check for these conditions before loading, whether the job is in Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, or Okotoks.
Ice or packed snow near the pickup point slows loading and adds risk. Clearing it in advance speeds up the job.
Cold-stiffened straps and frozen tie-down points take a few extra minutes to check properly in winter.
Cold weather affects hydraulics and batteries. Let dispatch know if the equipment needs a boost first.
Storm days affect scheduling citywide. A bit more lead time helps us hit your window.
Get Your Site Ready
For Pickup
A little preparation keeps your equipment move on schedule. Full Pull Towing & Recovery recommends having these ready before the flatbed arrives at your Calgary job site or yard.
This keeps loading quick and safe, and helps our driver get in and out without delaying your crew.
Clear a path to the equipment
Move materials, vehicles, or debris out of the way so the flatbed can access it directly.
Have keys and a site contact ready
Someone who can operate or move the equipment onto the ramp speeds up loading.
Confirm your weight and dimensions
Double-check the details you gave dispatch match the actual equipment being moved.
Keep a contact number on hand
Give our driver a number to call if they need gate access or directions on arrival.
Speeds up invoicing for contractors and rental yards running multiple jobs.
Gates, gravel, or narrow lanes are easier to plan for when we know in advance.
Regular moves can be set up as a standing account instead of one-off calls.
Especially important for time-sensitive rental deliveries or job site handoffs.
The Complete Guide to
Equipment Towing in Calgary
Want the full picture? Open the guide below for a deeper look at load standards, scheduling, winter conditions, and choosing a hauler.
What Equipment Towing Actually Covers
Full Pull Towing & Recovery is a Calgary, Alberta equipment towing company, licensed and insured, focused on light and mid-size machinery that fits safely on a standard flatbed truck. That includes forklifts, scissor lifts, skid steers, generators, and small tractors, the equipment types that make up most day-to-day contractor and rental yard needs.
This is different from oversized heavy-haul transport, which requires permits, escort vehicles, and specialized trailers. We stay focused on the equipment segment we can move safely and reliably every time.
Load Securement Standards, Explained
Every piece of equipment is secured using straps, chains, and wheel chocks rated for its specific weight, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Before transport, load balance is checked to prevent shifting, and tie-down points are verified against the equipment manufacturer's guidelines where available.
This matters most for wheeled equipment like scissor lifts and skid steers, which have narrow wheelbases and higher centers of gravity than a typical vehicle.
Scheduled Transport vs. Urgent Breakdown Calls
Most equipment towing in Calgary falls into one of two categories: planned moves between job sites or rental deliveries booked in advance, and urgent calls when equipment breaks down mid-project. Full Pull Towing & Recovery handles both through the same dispatch line, so a scheduled customer and an urgent customer both get the same standard of service.
Winter Conditions And Equipment Moves
Calgary winters add real variables to an equipment move: frozen ground can shift how weight is distributed on a flatbed deck, icy ramps make loading slower and riskier, and cold weather affects hydraulics on scissor lifts and generators. Our operators check for these conditions before loading rather than treating winter as a standard job.
Working With Rental Yards And Contractors
Rental yards need predictable delivery and pickup windows to keep their own customer commitments. Contractors need equipment to arrive without delaying a crew already on-site. Both benefit from setting up a standing relationship with a towing partner rather than calling around for a one-off quote every time.
Choosing A Reliable Equipment Hauler In Calgary
Look for insurance coverage that specifically includes equipment transport, a track record of on-time delivery, and load securement equipment matched to your machinery's weight class. Full Pull Towing & Recovery meets all three, with a straightforward quote process built around your job site's actual schedule.
