Towing Eastern Shore

The Eastern Shore of the Derwent covers a broad stretch of suburbs from Bellerive and Rosny through to Cambridge's industrial area. Towing here ranges from suburban breakdowns to machinery and equipment moves, with the Tasman Highway and the Tasman Bridge shaping how vehicles are reached.

Access considerations

The Eastern Shore is mostly flat near the river, which suits loading, but the Tasman Bridge and Cambridge Road carry heavy traffic. Industrial estates around Cambridge offer wide access, while older residential streets near Bellerive can be tighter.

Where vehicles are usually taken
