Need a dually moved in Davie? Davie Towing Service dispatches around the clock across Davie, FL. Towing a dually is not the same job as towing a sedan — it comes down to weight rating, deck length, and how the vehicle is secured — so we confirm what you are driving before a truck rolls, and quote the price before the hook goes on.
The right equipment for a dually
Sending an under-rated truck is how a tow turns into damage. Our dispatcher matches the load to the equipment — deck, wheel-lift, or heavy wrecker — and the operator secures it to the manufacturer’s tie-down points rather than whatever is reachable.
A dually pickup's dual rear wheels rule out a standard wheel-lift tow — the extra tire on each side won't seat in the sling, so it needs a flatbed. Davie Towing Service runs flatbed recovery 24/7 at (954) 758-5905; if the dually was towing a trailer when it broke down, that gets recovered separately, not dragged behind.
Dual rear wheels are exactly what make a dually a dually, and they're exactly what keeps a standard wheel-lift from doing the job. A wheel-lift sling is built for one tire per side; try to seat it against a dually's outer wheel and it either doesn't grab cleanly or it grabs the wrong tire and leaves the truck riding crooked behind the tow. That's the difference between a routine pickup tow and a dually call — it needs a flatbed.
It gets more complicated when the dually was doing what duallies do — towing something — when it broke down. A truck pulling an equipment trailer or a horse trailer that loses power or blows a tire doesn't need one recovery, it needs two: the truck onto a flatbed, and the trailer handled on its own axle or unhitched and secured, not left hitched and dragged behind whatever shows up.
Why does a dually need a flatbed instead of a wheel-lift?
The reason comes down to the wheels themselves. A wheel-lift cradles the outer tire on each side and lifts from there; on a dually, the sling either can't get a clean grip on the outer wheel or ends up pinching against the inner one, and either way the truck doesn't ride straight. A flatbed sidesteps the problem entirely by supporting the whole vehicle instead of lifting one axle. It's also the safer call on a lifted truck with aftermarket suspension, where ride height alone can put a wheel-lift's arms in the wrong spot.
What happens if the trailer is still hitched?
The trailer comes off the truck before anything moves. If its axle still turns, it can be towed on its own wheels behind a second truck or secured until someone can pick it up; if it doesn't, it gets lifted clear the same way a locked-up axle on any trailer would be. Either way, it isn't dragged behind the wrecker still hitched to the dually.
What does it cost to flatbed a dually in Davie?
Flatbed towing for a standard vehicle publishes locally in the $50–$125 range. A dually is heavier and wider than what that number was built around, so most dually flatbed calls land at the top of that range or above it, and Davie Towing Service quotes the actual figure on the call. The crew doing the quoting is the same one Davie drivers have rated 4.9 stars across 93 reviews — not a subcontractor picking up the overflow.
Can a dually be towed with a wheel-lift?
Not reliably — the dual rear wheels don't seat correctly in a wheel-lift's sling, so Davie Towing Service dispatches a flatbed for dually calls instead.
What if my dually was towing a trailer when it broke down?
The truck and trailer get recovered separately. The truck goes on a flatbed; the trailer is unhitched and either towed on its own axle or secured, not dragged behind the wrecker.
What does it cost to tow a dually?
Local flatbed towing publishes at $50–$125 for standard vehicles; a dually often runs at or above that range because of its extra weight. Dispatch quotes the actual number on the call.
