Why Choose a Used International Tow Truck?

In roadside assistance, every minute counts — and a truck broken down on the side of the road is an unacceptable situation. Reliability and power are essential. Choosing a used International tow truck means banking on:

A rugged vocational chassis designed to support the weight of towing equipment and the most demanding recovery loads — heavy trucks, construction equipment, and accident-damaged vehicles in all conditions
Reliable powertrains with high torque available at low RPM, essential for recovery and towing maneuvers on difficult terrain, slopes, or in winter conditions
A highly accessible service and parts network throughout Quebec and North America, minimizing downtime and ensuring a quick return to service for an essential emergency response vehicle
Configurations suited to different types of towing equipment — tow arms, flatbeds, heavy recovery equipment — depending on the model and available wheelbase
An attractive acquisition cost on the used market that allows towing operators to invest more in their specialized equipment rather than in the rolling base

A well-selected used International tow truck is a reliable work tool that answers every call — whether it's at 2 PM on a Tuesday or 2 AM on a Sunday in January.

International Models Suited for Towing

International offers several models well suited to towing applications, from light towing to heavy-duty recovery. Here are the most common ones in our inventory for this type of use.

International HV: The International HV is a solid base for medium to heavy-duty towing in Quebec. Its vocational ruggedness, load capacity, and multi-axle configurations make it an effective carrier for towing medium-sized trucks, commercial vehicles, and recovery operations on Quebec roads and highways.

International WorkStar: The International WorkStar is a proven base for heavy-duty towing — recovery of semi-trailers, buses, construction equipment, and off-road vehicles. Its solid structure and power make it a benchmark carrier for operators who respond to heavy truck accidents and complex recoveries.

International PayStar: The International PayStar is the base of choice for heavy to extra-heavy-duty towing — recovery of vehicle combinations, massive industrial equipment, and interventions on major accidents involving oversized vehicles. Its maximum load capacity and reinforced structure make it the preferred base for heavy-duty towing operators in Quebec.

International MV: The International MV is well suited for light to medium-duty towing in urban and suburban environments. Its maneuverability in narrow streets and parking lots, combined with its proven reliability, makes it an effective work tool for operators who primarily respond to light and commercial vehicles in densely populated urban areas.
