Heavy towing and recovery specialists based in Barrie since 1949
Currie Heavy Towing is a family-owned heavy towing and recovery company based in Barrie, Ontario, with roots going back to 1949 when founder Alex Currie set out to build a professional towing service for the public. Currie describes its collection of heavy tow trucks and recovery equipment as the biggest operating in the area north of Toronto, built around hydraulic under-reach and tire-lift attachments meant to move vehicles without adding further damage. Beyond light and heavy-duty towing, the crew handles tilt-and-load work for heavy equipment, construction tools and industrial freight, plus fork lift, grapple and wide-load transport, along with environmental spill response and clean-up. The modern fleet also includes floating equipment and Landoll trailers for oversized and heavy loads, and operators carry training in areas such as WHMIS, fall arrest, forklift safety, load securement, workplace violence and harassment, and the transportation of dangerous goods. The company maintains working relationships with a number of government agencies as well as Ontario's Ministry of Transportation, having served both public and private sector clients over the decades, and it offers secure storage for towed and recovered vehicles. Central dispatch answers calls 24 hours a day, with staff aiming to reach a site as quickly as possible once a call comes in, and the company says its goal is repeat business built on customer satisfaction. With more than 60 years in the towing and recovery business, Currie Heavy Towing positions itself as the call for heavy, awkward or hazardous jobs that a standard tow truck can't handle.
