What stands us apart
Swan Towing doesn’t look or operate like a typical tow truck company. The truth is, WA has little or no regulations to meet today’s towing demands, especially when it comes to heavy recovery. We’re taking a stand by driving positive industry change on the back of genuine commitment and care. Care for what we drive. Care for who we employ to drive. And most importantly, care for how everything we do impacts your experience.
We don’t shy away from our responsibility to drive change and operate ethically. With our unrivalled understanding of the industry, laws, licensing, trends and clients need, our mission is to provide a level of service customers demand (and deserve), while inspiring better standards that make our industry as safe as possible.
- Fair and reasonable pricing
- Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on call day or night for immediate assistance (Within Fatigue Management Regulations)
- Investment in world-class technology to provide a safe and time efficient service
- Provision of realistic arrival times and job status updates
- Highest level of care of assets from pick up to drop off
- Peace of mind that comes from fully insured assets (both while in transit and during the loading and unloading process).
How we do it
To deliver WA’s most comprehensive and reliable towing, relocation and recovery service,
Swan Towing has spent the last 35 years investing (and reinvesting) in three core areas: equipment, personnel and reach.
Our equipment
All of our trucks (including our state-of-the-art heavy recovery trucks) are Australian-built in Queensland to handle Australian conditions. Such is our commitment to ensuring we’re prepared for almost any scenario, we often build trucks to meet specific needs, meaning we have trucks with features you won’t find in our competitors’ fleets. What’s more, we also have other equipment to assist with accident clean-ups such as our Incident Response Truck and Trailer, bobcats, forklifts and lighting towers to assist with site clean-ups and site remediation.
Our personnel
The latest equipment and technology is nothing without honest, hard working people. The Swan Towing team is made up of over 40 enthusiastic members with a can-do attitude who work as one to deliver the highest standards of any Towing Company in WA.
You’ll experience the difference from the moment you make contact with our dedicated Operations Team who offer friendly, professional and knowledgeable assistance, working around the clock to respond to your requests. Their job is to make you feel completely confident that you have called a company that cares about your vehicle and can then dispatch the right recovery unit and driver for the job, supplying a realistic arrival time and providing status updates to keep you in the loop. This detail-focused personal touch flows on to your driver, who’ll treat you with respect, work honestly and professionally, and treat your asset like it’s their own.
All of our drivers:
- Are fully trained
- Have the necessary background checks
- Have the necessary tickets for machinery movements
Many of our drivers:
- Have a Marine Security Induction Card (MSIC) to enable access to various wharfs across the state
- Have Dangerous Goods Drivers Licenses and Security Cards
