From the first time Harold Markle pulled a car out of a ditch 40 years ago, it was clear he was meant to be a part of the Towing Industry embracing the challenges and opportunities that it presented.
With nineteen years operating a successful towing business, coupled with developing training courses for the industry, Harold acquired the background and understanding necessary for Canadian Towing Equipment (CTE) to provide quality products and service. He also gained valuable insight working with Vulcan Towing Equipment for five years on the development of heavy duty products. In addition to this, he trained the Canadian military on the operation of the Vulcan military recovery trucks. These experiences resulted in an in depth understanding of heavy tow truck requirements.

As Vice President of Miller Industries Distribution, Harold gained a global perspective of successful towing and recovery sales and service outlets. Now President and the driving force behind Canadian Towing Equipment, his passion is reflected in his dedication to the growth of the towing industry.

"CTE is your 'ONE SOURCE' for the absolute finest in towing and recovery equipment."
