Flatbed Towing
Flatbed towing is the best towing option in most scenarios, so it is the typical towing service that we provide our customers. Of course if there is a different type of tow you are looking for, just let us know so we can accommodate that. If nothing is specified or if the tow needed seems like a common flatbed tow, then that is what we will arrive with. The back of the tow truck is hydraulically lowered to the ground to create a ramp to allow the vehicle to be moved onto it. We then use a winch or other similar mechanism to load the vehicle onto the flatbed, depending on the condition of the vehicle. Once the vehicle has been loaded, it is secured down with chains, straps, or other tools to prevent any potential movement or damage during the transport process. The flatbed is raised back to its normal flat position to allow for ease of transfer. This is the typical process that comes with a flatbed tow, and it makes it one of the best options in towing services that are currently offered.
Safety is one of the main reasons that flatbed towing is superior to pretty much every other type of tow. Other alternatives may leave the vehicle touching the road at some point, leaving it vulnerable to foreign objects or other potential hazards. Flatbed towing safely secures the vehicle on the flatbed with plenty of distance between it and the road. It also comes with locking mechanisms to maintain the security of the vehicle on the flatbed while the truck is in motion. So the vehicle being towed is essentially in a normal parked position that vehicles are in all the time, so it is the most safe in this position. The versatility of flatbed tow trucks also lead to it being an excellent option when it comes to towing. As mentioned throughout our site, we can handle towing other vehicles such as motorcycles, and we utilize our flatbed tow trucks to do so. Its flatbed offers support for every type of vehicle, making it the best option to have in our fleets so that we are ready for any situation that may arise on the road.
Accessibility and security are two other great attributes of flatbed towing compared to other towing alternatives. With its large flatbed, this type of tow truck can accommodate vehicles of all sorts. Those vehicles that are either four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive are able to be towed easily on the flatbed. Even vehicles that are severely damaged can still be loaded onto the flatbed and then towed with ease. Getting these vehicles onto the flatbed then provides extra protection and security since the vehicle does not have to make contact with the surface of the road. It may take a few extra minutes to use a flatbed tow compared to a hook and chain or something similar. That is probably the only drawback to this towing option and really it is not much of one. The other one may be that the trucks that we need for these are rather long, so it is a bit harder to maneuver around the city on smaller streets. Make the right choice by choosing this option in most cases. Tell us about your unique situation, so we can provide the perfect tow truck and towing services for you. Whether it's
