Farm use
Farms in the valley use picker trucks for moving bales, feed, building material and equipment, and keep them long after they stop being road trucks. A farm truck that has sat in a field still has value. Tell us how close a tow truck can get, whether the ground is firm and whether there are low branches or wires.
Supply yards
Building supply companies from Abbotsford to Chilliwack retire older picker trucks when they renew their fleets. Those trucks usually sit on firm yard ground, which makes pickup simple. Tell us the yard's address and hours, and whether the truck can be driven to the loading area or needs towing from where it sits.
Tree and utility work
Bucket trucks and grapple trucks from tree and utility services come up across the valley. Tell us whether the unit is insulated and when it was last tested, whether the boom or loader works and whether the truck still drives. Units retired from utility work often still have good booms.
Tri-Cities contractors
Contractors in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody often keep older boom trucks in tight yards with little turning room. Photos of the yard and the way out help us plan. If the truck runs, it can usually be driven to a spot where a tow truck can reach it.
Long lanes
Gravel lanes are fine if they're firm. Soft fields, culverts and light farm bridges are worth mentioning, because a heavy tow can't cross every surface. If the lane floods in the wet months, timing the pickup for a dry spell can make it much easier. Tell us what the lane is like now.
Several units
Quotes for several trucks can be combined, whether they sit on one farm or across a few yards in the valley. We plan the pickups for the fewest trips. Send a short list with years, makes and crane models, and note which trucks run, so we can bring the right equipment.
