The Ultimate Equipment for Towing Repossessed Vehicles

When a towing company takes on the specialized task of towing repossessed vehicles, efficiency, safety, and reliability are not optional—they are essential. At Collins Dollies, we understand this better than most. For over five decades, we’ve earned the reputation “Towers Choice™” because we’ve built equipment that meets the demands of challenging tows—and today our spotlight is on why our Hi-Speed® Dolly and Carrier Dolly make Collins the ultimate choice for professionals charged with towing repossessed vehicles.

Built for the realities of towing repossessed vehicles

When you’re towing a repossessed car, truck, or SUV, you’re often working under pressure — tight time windows, restricted access, low clearances, unknown mechanical condition, and sometimes longer distance hauls. In that environment, you need gear you can trust. The Hi-Speed® Dolly, with its freeway approval, long-distance rating and high towing capacity, gives operators confidence that the job can be done quickly and safely.

At the same time, our Carrier Dolly shines when dealing with locked wheels, vehicles with no hook points, low-clearance exotics, or EVs — common in repossessions. The damage-free loading and user-friendly design provide smooth operations, less risk, and a strong return on investment.

Feature-by-feature: Why Collins is the best

Here are the key features of the two Collins models and how they translate into real-world advantages for the repossession industry:

Hi-Speed® Dolly

• Freeway and long-distance rated: Collins dollies are the only ones in the industry “approved for highway, freeway, and interstate roads” with no towing-distance restrictions.
• High towing capacity & wide fit: For example, the new G7 model offers up to 4,280 lb capacity with a 104″ usable cross-rail width (T12) for oversized or dual-wheel vehicles.
• Lightweight, low-maintenance design: Less strain on the operator, fewer maintenance hours = less downtime between tows.
• Safety first: The Safety Ratchet System, true-positive camber rails, and design historically rooted in decades of innovation make this a robust machine you can trust under challenging conditions.

Carrier Dolly

• Damage-free towing for tricky vehicles: Many repossessed units may have locked wheels, no tow hooks, or extremely low clearance. The Carrier Dolly avoids dragging by using winch force on the dolly rather than the vehicle’s suspension or body, thereby reducing the risk of damage.
• Versatility: Works with cars, light trucks, motorcycles, EVs, AWDs — a benefit when a recovery yard must handle a wide variety of vehicles.
• Expanded capacity: The “wide” version handles wider tires and heavier load sets (6,400 lb per pair) for today’s larger or specialty vehicles.

What it means for repossession fleets

Putting these features into context for a business that specializes in towing repossessed vehicles:

• Fewer trips, more jobs handled: With a dolly that handles high capacity and freeway distances, one tow truck plus one operator can close more jobs in less time.
• Reduced risk of damage → lower costs: If your tow gear causes damage to a seized vehicle, that’s a liability. The Carrier Dolly’s damage-free approach protects your business, your insurance exposure, and your reputation.
• Greater flexibility in the field: Whether you’re dealing with locked wheels, EVs, wide-body trucks, or low-clearance exotics, you’re covered. The ability to adapt means your business isn’t limited by vehicle type.
• Operational efficiency & crew comfort: Low-maintenance design, ergonomic handles, walkable dolly setups—these reduce operator fatigue and maintenance downtime, which improves profitability.
• Professional image, customer confidence: In repossessions, your client (often a lender or remarketing company) expects speed and professionalism. Using premium equipment like Collins dollies signals you’re at the top of your game.
