Truck recovery at the tri-border — from Lake Constance through the Pfändertunnel into the Rheintal
Bregenz, the capital of Vorarlberg, sits on Lake Constance (Bodensee) in the corner where Austria, Germany and Switzerland meet. All freight traffic from southern Germany crosses the border at Hörbranz onto the A14 Rheintal Autobahn and is funnelled through the Pfändertunnel — the bottleneck of the region. When an articulated truck breaks down here — in the Pfändertunnel, stuck in the queue at the border or on the approach to Terminal Wolfurt — the whole Rheintal grinds to a halt in no time. That is exactly what our truck towing service in Vorarlberg is here for: heavy-duty recovery, crane work and mobile breakdown assistance around the clock, with a response time from 50 minutes.
What we handle for trucks and articulated lorries
- Recovery and towing — tractor units, semi-trailers, refrigerated and tanker vehicles, even with locked wheels, axle damage or after an accident in the tunnel
- Crane recovery with rotator up to 80 — righting overturned trucks, securing loads, transferring cargo and repositioning them in the narrow Rheintal
- On-site breakdown assistance — jump-starts, brakes, chassis and electrics, so the run continues without a tow
- Transfer to the specialist workshop, to Terminal Wolfurt or to a guarded parking area on either side of the border
- Special and construction machinery — excavators, wheel loaders, mobile cranes, car transporters and coaches
Our territory: the A14 Rheintal, the Pfändertunnel and the route over the Arlberg
We operate in Bregenz and throughout Vorarlberg: on the A14 Rheintal Autobahn from the German border at Hörbranz through the Pfändertunnel, via Dornbirn and the Ambergtunnel near Feldkirch as far as Bludenz, as well as on the S16 Arlberg Schnellstraße with the Arlbergtunnel — the only motorway link to the rest of Austria. We know the trouble spots: the permanent tailback in the Pfändertunnel, the heavy border and commuter traffic towards Switzerland (near Höchst and Hohenems) and Liechtenstein (via Feldkirch), and the diversion over the Arlbergpass when the tunnel is closed and articulated trucks are not allowed through. We are reachable during the night and weekend driving bans too, 365 days a year.
For drivers from all over Europe a multilingual dispatcher is on hand — crucial in the cross-border traffic between Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. We quote the fixed price before we set off, with no hidden costs. Heavy-duty recovery in Bregenz — that is our speciality.
