Towing Around Welshpool

Welshpool sits in the City of Canning, 11km south-east of the Perth CBD. That is what decides how long we take to reach you, so it is the first thing we work from when you ring.

Welshpool is one of Perth's main industrial areas, so a fair share of what we move here is a forklift, a generator or a container rather than a car. Give us the tonnage and the footprint and you get a yes or a no on the phone.

Roads through the area

  • Welshpool Road
  • Orrong Road
  • Kewdale Road
  • Rutland Avenue
  • Swansea Street
  • Star Street

Landmarks and local spots

  • the Welshpool grain and feed silos
  • Perth Airport, immediately adjacent
  • the Kewdale freight terminal precinct

Out here it is forklifts, containers, plant and trade vehicles as much as cars, and the weight is what decides which truck we send.

Booking a Tow Truck in Welshpool

50+ years of combined experience
  • 1. Tell us what it is and where

    Vehicle or machine, roughly how heavy, and whether it rolls. That settles which truck comes out. Welshpool Road is enough to place you.

  • 2. We sort the access

    Gate times, who needs to sign, whether a forklift is on site and whether the yard is locked by the time we would arrive.

  • 3. You get a time and a price

    Both up front, before a truck is committed, so a job sitting in a loading bay is not also a job with an open price on it.

  • 4. We load it properly

    Strapped and chained as the load requires. Plant, containers and fleet vehicles each want a different tie-down, not the same one.

  • 5. We deliver and invoice

    To the workshop, the yard or the auction you nominate. If you run regular work with us, ask about account terms.

Where We Get Called in Welshpool

The roads carrying most of Welshpool are Welshpool Road, Orrong Road, Kewdale Road, Rutland Avenue, Swansea Street and Star Street. Any one of those is enough of a location for us to start from, and a cross street makes it exact.

Off the main roads a landmark beats an address every time. The Welshpool grain and feed silos, Perth Airport and the Kewdale freight terminal precinct all work as a starting point, and a dropped pin from your phone works better than any of them.

Welshpool railway station closed in November 2023 and was demolished, so it is no longer a landmark worth giving us.

Out here it is forklifts, containers, plant and trade vehicles as much as cars, and the weight is what decides which truck we send.

Whatever the job turns out to be, the order is the same: you tell us where in Welshpool you are and what you are driving, we give you a timeframe and a price, and only then does a truck leave. Nothing about that changes at two in the morning.

Why Call Us for a Tow in Welshpool?

Welshpool is one of Perth's main industrial areas. Almost none of it is housing: it is workshops, transport yards and warehousing, sitting right against Perth Airport.

50+ years of combined experience
  • Plant, not just vehicles

    Welshpool is one of Perth's main industrial areas, so a fair share of what we move here is a forklift, a generator or a container rather than a car. Give us the tonnage and the footprint and you get a yes or a no on the phone.

  • The station is gone

    Welshpool railway station closed in November 2023 and was demolished, so it is no longer a landmark worth giving us. Kewdale Road, Orrong Road or the grain silos will place you far better.

  • Yards that lock at four

    Half the sites here shut before we would finish. Tell us the gate time when you book and we will work to that window instead of turning up to a padlock.

  • Accounts, not just card payments

    Most of what we move here belongs to a business rather than a person. If you are putting through more than the occasional job, ask about account terms when you call.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Welshpool is 11km south-east of the Perth CBD, and distance is part of what a tow costs anywhere. You hear the number before we dispatch, so there is no surprise at the other end.
