Low Clearance Towing Hobart & Car Park Extraction
If you are stuck in a multi-story car park or basement garage, you need specialized low clearance towing in Hobart. Standard tow trucks are too tall to enter these buildings. Therefore, calling a regular company often results in delays and damage. However, Big Boy Towing has the solution.
We operate dedicated low clearance towing vehicles designed to fit into tight spaces with height restrictions as low as 1.9 meters. Consequently, we can extract your vehicle safely without scraping the roof or the ceiling.
Where We Provide Low Clearance Towing
Hobart is full of tight parking structures. Specifically, our compact low clearance towing units access:
- Shopping Centre Car Parks: We recover cars from Eastlands, Northgate, and Centrepoint multi-decks.
- Hotel Basements: Stuck in a hotel garage? We navigate tight spirals and low ceilings.
- Apartment Complexes: We extract vehicles from residential underground parking safely.
- Private Garages: If your car won’t start in a low-roof home garage, our low clearance towing team can pull it out.
How Our Low Clearance Towing Works
Retrieving a car from a basement requires skill. We use specific techniques for low clearance towing jobs:
- The “Winch Out”: We use a specialized “stinger” truck or 4WD recovery unit to tow your car out of the structure to a safe loading zone.
- Wheel Dollies: If your car is in Park or has a locked steering wheel, we put it on skates. Thus, we can move it around tight corners.
- Transfer to Tilt Tray: Once outside, we load your vehicle onto a standard tilt tray for transport to the mechanic.
For parking height restrictions in the city, the Hobart City Council Parking Guide lists clearance heights for all major structures.
Why You Need a Specialist for Low Clearance Towing
Attempting to tow a car out of a garage with a rope or a friend’s ute is dangerous. Concrete pillars and steep ramps cause accidents. Instead, trust our professional team because:
- Height Aware: We know the clearance of every major car park in Hobart.
- Damage Free: We use soft straps and dollies to protect your car and the building during low clearance towing.
- Fully Insured: Our policy covers “On-Hook” liability even in private car parks.
