Pulling a smoker completed by Dave's Towing Services in Calgary. Real Calgary-area towing, recovery and vehicle transport work.
Not everything we haul is a car. In this photo, Dave's Towing is moving a large smoker unit on the deck of one of our flatbed trucks, at dusk on a snowy day in the Calgary area.
Bulky items like this have an odd shape and a high centre of gravity, so they're loaded with care and tied down before the truck rolls. A flatbed gives a long, flat surface that suits equipment that doesn't fit neatly in a pickup or on a utility trailer.
If you have a smoker, a shed-style unit, or another oversized item that needs to move, tell us the approximate dimensions and weight, whether it can be lifted or winched, and what the ground is like at pickup and drop-off. Snow and soft ground both matter. Our equipment, trailer and RV transport page has more on how we plan moves like this.
