Rollback tow trucks for sale at Ritchie Bros. range from 6-ton standard-duty units on light chassis to 8.5-ton medium-duty carriers with 30-foot decks, so the right truck comes down to matching deck length and GVWR to what you actually haul rather than buying the biggest carrier available.

What size rollback truck do I need?

Match the deck length and capacity to the vehicles you haul most, then size the chassis GVWR to match.

• 6-ton standard duty: 20 to 22 ft decks, 12,000 lb deck capacity, on light-duty chassis like Ford F-600, Dodge/Ram 5500, or Hino L6 — suited to cars, light trucks, and routine impound/recovery work.
• 8.5-ton medium duty: 22 to 30 ft decks, 17,000 lb deck capacity, on chassis with a minimum GVWR of 25,500 lbs (33,000 lbs with a wheel lift) — suited to pickups, vans, and larger vehicles that outgrow a 6-ton deck.

Deck width runs 96 or 102 inches on both classes, and a lower load angle (as low as 7.5 degrees on dual-angle decks versus 10 degrees on conventional decks) makes it easier to load low-clearance cars without scraping a bumper.

Single axle or tandem axle rollback - which should I buy?

Single axle chassis suit shorter decks up to 22 feet; tandem axle chassis carry the 24-to-30-foot decks and the added weight of a wheel lift.

A single axle rollback is lighter, more maneuverable, and less expensive to buy and maintain, making it the better fit for a 20-to-22-foot deck doing routine car recovery. Once a deck runs 24 feet or longer, or the truck is specced with a wheel lift (pushing minimum GVWR to 33,000 lbs), a tandem axle chassis carries that weight more safely. Browse our single axle rollback trucks specifically if that's the class you're after.

How much can a rollback truck winch and lift?

Winch capacity on a rollback runs 8,000 to 12,000 lbs, and an optional wheel lift adds 3,500 to 5,000 lbs of lift capacity with up to 12,000 lbs of tow capacity.

The winch pulls a disabled vehicle up the tilted deck; the wheel lift, when equipped, handles a vehicle that can't be winched normally, such as one with a locked-up drivetrain, by lifting one end clear of the ground. A dual-winch setup (two 8,000 lb winches) is common on medium-duty carriers that need to load two vehicles or handle heavier single loads than a single winch allows.

Every rollback truck listed here includes usage hours, location, and equipment history, and many have IronClad Assurance inspection reports available so you can compare deck class, axle configuration, and winch capacity across listings before you bid.
