Beside the fact that we're the folks who come to your rescue when you’re stranded on the side of the road, what do you know about tow trucks? If you’re like most people, the answer is probably “not a whole lot.”
That might not seem like a big deal—after all, how many times in your lifetime will you need to call for a tow truck? Nevertheless, we believe all motorists should know the basics of the towing industry.
TYPES OF TOWING
There’s not just one towing method for vehicles and we'd like to explain a few of them below.
Wheel Lift Service:
This is probably what comes to mind when you think of towing. In this process, a vehicle is lifted by its front two wheels and transported away by a tow truck. A standard tow truck "wrecker/wheel lift" is NOT recommended for 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicles. Wreckers generally have a lower height and are the truck of choice to get disabled vehicles out of low clearance parking garages. At times however, additional equipment, such as dollies are required.
Flatbed Towing
: Rollback tow trucks are used to put the entire vehicle onto a flatbed. All four wheels of the disabled vehicle are off the ground with this method.
There are plenty of towing companies in our area that can come to your rescue, but not all towing companies are created equal. We believe we’re the best 24 hour towing service in the Tri-State area.
