Van and Commercial Vehicle Towing in Dublin
Dublin Tow provides towing and recovery for vans and light commercial vehicles across all of Dublin, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you are a sole trader with a panel van, a delivery driver in a transit, or a business with a fleet vehicle on the side of the road, we respond quickly and get your vehicle to where it needs to go with minimum disruption.
We tow and recover vans and light commercials up to 3.5 tonnes on our flatbed trucks. Flatbed is the right method for commercial vehicles — it keeps all wheels off the ground, protects the drivetrain, and is stable enough to handle the weight and dimensions of a full-size panel van safely. We are familiar with the common van makes and models on Dublin roads and can deal with the loading considerations particular to vans, including those with racking, roof boxes or tail lifts.
A van breakdown often means lost working time. We understand that, and we aim to give you an honest assessment of the problem as quickly as possible so you can make the right decision — whether that is a roadside repair, a tow to your garage, or arranging a replacement vehicle. We will not keep you guessing.

Van Breakdowns on Dublin's Roads and Motorways
Vans cover a lot of ground in Dublin — motorways, city routes, industrial estates, and narrow residential streets. Dublin Tow covers all of these. We respond to van breakdowns on the M50, N7, N1, M1, N11, N4, N3 and all city centre routes. We also attend call-outs in Dublin Port, at logistics hubs, and in the business parks and industrial estates across the city and county.
On a busy road or motorway, a broken-down van is a significant hazard. If you are in a dangerous position, switch on your hazards, get away from traffic if you can, and call us immediately. We will get to you as quickly as possible and work efficiently to clear the vehicle from the carriageway.

We tow vans and light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes — this covers the vast majority of transit-size and smaller panel vans, pick-up trucks, and light commercials. For heavier vehicles such as trucks, rigid lorries, or heavy plant, we may need to refer you to a specialist heavy recovery operator and will tell you immediately if so.
A loaded van can be towed, but the total weight of the van and its contents must not exceed our flatbed capacity. For very heavy loads, we may need to advise you to remove the load before towing. Call us and describe the vehicle and approximate load — we will tell you whether it is within what we can carry safely.
Our average response time is around 30 minutes anywhere in Dublin city and county — the same for commercial vehicles as for cars. We understand that a van breakdown often means lost working time, so we prioritise getting to you quickly and making an accurate call on the repair or tow as fast as possible.
