TowHaul Founder Frank Smith had the vision to manufacture the
most reliable, efficient and adaptable off-road equipment in the mineral extraction industry. He was driven to create tough and versatile products that enhance
equipment functionality in towing and hauling. Today, we are still unwavering
in our dedication to create solutions that meet the needs of open-pit mines in
all places with all conditions around the world. We work in some of the most
remote areas on six continents, but you can find us when you need us in our
home office in Montana.
Mission
Words we live by
We are a company of integrity. Always. Being the leader in the industry where we engage with customers and they can rely on us for innovative, effective products, services and support. We operate with honest respect for our employees, customers, company and the communities in which we serve.
Nearly a half-century ago, Frank Smith saw a need for surface operations to haul equipment. He wanted to make it easier for people to do their jobs, decrease costs and increase mobility. In 1977, Smith invented and patented the original heavy-duty, off-road trailer for surface operations. Driven by customer requests, he continued to improve and modify his designs and created the front-loading, single-axle lowboy. Customer need still fuels our designs today. From the Australian Outback to the Arctic Circle, you can depend on TowHaul to keep you towing and hauling.
Innovation
