Gympie/Childers Towing

Frequently Asked Questions About Gympie/Childers Towing

Can Gympie/Childers Towing handle shipping containers over long distances, and what size containers do they move?

Absolutely. Ian and his crew specialise in container transport across Queensland — we've heard of them shifting 20-foot and 40-foot containers, including a 12-tonne unit moved from Townsville to Gympie. Gary and Ian are known locally for precise placement on tricky sites, including manoeuvring a 40-foot fridge container down a hill into a difficult block position. Their modern Volvo fleet with super-tilt gear makes heavy container work routine for them.

How competitive is Gympie/Childers Towing's pricing compared to larger towing companies in the region?

Locals consistently tell us their rates beat the big operators. We've heard customers describe their pricing as 'more competitive than some of the bigger companies' and 'affordable' across both emergency towing and heavy haulage jobs. For a 30-year operation with modern equipment — including that Volvo super-tilt — their pricing remains accessible, whether you're shifting a breakdown vehicle or organising transport for a large mobile unit across the Sunshine Coast.

Does Gympie/Childers Towing provide emergency roadside assistance beyond basic towing?

They do. Julie and the team are known for rapid response in urgent roadside situations — locals report incidents like assisting a caravan that lost a tyre on a busy road outside Gympie, organising swift towing before traffic became dangerous. Ian and Dustin have helped stranded holiday travellers get vehicles to dealerships for warranty repairs, ensuring trips weren't ruined. Their 24-hour service covers breakdowns, accidents, and mechanical failures across Gympie, Hervey Bay, Bundaberg, and Brisbane.

Jason is well regarded locally for his skill with the Volvo super-tilt — customers joke he could 'roll a burrito' with it, given his precision placing 40-foot containers on difficult sites. Barry handles complex tilt tray shifts, including moving large mobile units from Morayfield to Buderim. Peter is another experienced driver known for professional heavy vehicle work. Their fleet tackles cabins, portable homes, machinery, and containers weighing up to 12 tonnes across Wide Bay and beyond.
