A towing company's equipment is its service territory made physical: the wreckers, carriers, winches and support hardware that answer the accounts the business holds. This guide walks the equipment classes a Canadian towing operation plans around — and how the mix changes with police rotation, collision, dealer and heavy work.
Equipment and installed packages are what this guide covers. Where equipment rides on a truck chassis, vehicle and chassis eligibility is program-dependent — describe the configuration in the application and FixFin will review the transaction.

START YOUR APPLICATIONTERRITORY SHAPES THE DUTY
Canadian towing duty concentrates where the corridors run: mountain passes and the Coquihalla, the Trans-Canada through northern Ontario, the oil-sands corridors, remote northern highways. The further the corridor, the more recovery-ready the equipment spec — and the more the equipment cost justifies structured financing.
