Towing a heavy vehicle is not a routine situation. A TIR, truck with a trailer or semi-trailer requires a different approach, different equipment, and more complicated procedures than transporting regular cars.
We work daily with professional drivers. We know what it means to have a disabled set with a load on the expressway, we understand the consequences — formalities, responsibility for the cargo, time pressure. We act quickly, professionally, and with respect for the specifics of heavy transport.
Can a TIR tow another TIR — a practical answer
Theoretically, it can. In practice — it should not. When a heavy vehicle breaks down, procedures require transport using specialized equipment. A tow truck or vehicle adapted for such tasks is the only safe solution for a heavy vehicle.
There is no point in risking further damage, complications with the cargo, or formal issues. We have professional equipment and experience — so you don’t have to improvise on the road.
TIR transport — procedures and requirements
Towing a heavy vehicle significantly differs from transporting a regular car. If the set has a trailer or semi-trailer, the procedures are even more demanding. Checking the vehicle's condition, securing the cargo, proper documentation — everything must be done according to regulations regarding heavy transport.
We do not operate randomly. We treat each order individually, adjusting our approach to the situation on the road and the needs of the driver and the company.
When a specialized tow truck is necessary
- Damaged steering system — the vehicle cannot be controlled and should not be driven independently
- Brake problems — safe transport requires a functioning brake system or the use of a tow truck
- Transport on the highway — the only acceptable method is to use specialized roadside assistance equipment
- Truck with a trailer or semi-trailer — procedures are more complex and require experience
- Cargo on the vehicle — requires special securing and a well-thought-out transport plan
- Long distances — for the safety of the cargo and vehicle over greater distances, a tow truck is always better
- International transport — crossing borders involves additional formalities and requires a specialized approach
Most common breakdowns of heavy vehicles
The engine won't start — the cause may be a power supply issue, fuel system, or electronics. Gearbox and transmission failures are also common, especially in older vehicles. Suspension damage can occur, particularly when the vehicle is fully loaded. Fluid leaks can lead to serious consequences if the vehicle continues to be used.
Collisions or accidents are situations that require immediate securing of the scene and the vehicle itself. Often, the damage is so severe that the set is completely unsuitable for further driving.
Transporting a heavy vehicle abroad
Is your truck stuck outside Poland? Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland — international transport of heavy vehicles is possible, though more complicated organizationally. Documents, formalities, logistics — we take care of this.
If you are interested in such assistance, contact us — we will discuss the details and establish a schedule of action.
Documents for towing a heavy vehicle
You will need the vehicle's registration number, destination address, and information on where exactly the set should be dropped off. If an invoice is required, company details will also be needed. We handle the rest of the procedures — insurance, transport documentation, and formal details. The driver can focus on communicating with the dispatcher and further organizing the transport.
Fines for improper towing of a heavy vehicle
Towing without proper securing, bypassing safety procedures, carries the risk of high fines. The amount of penalties may vary, so it's worth checking information in official government sources regularly.
We ensure that the transport is carried out 100% in accordance with regulations. This way, you don't have to worry about formal consequences.

How much does it cost to tow a TIR
The price depends on many factors — distance, destination, whether the vehicle has a trailer or semi-trailer, the time of day, and the technical condition of the set.
