Why Should You Hire A Flatbed Truck?

There are many different reasons why flatbed towing should be used. They include the vehicle’s model, make, and weight. Vehicles transported using this method can have all of their wheels secured, rather than the traditional methods of placing chains on the rear and front of the vehicle. Another reason people use this towing method is the design of the vehicle that requires that additional weight not be placed on one end of the vehicle, which is what occurs when wheel lift towing is used. It is the ideal method to use for sport and luxury vehicles due to them not being able to titled at an angle.

What is Wheel Lift Towing?

Most people imagine wheel lift towing when they think about towing. This type of towing is done when either the front or rear wheels of the damaged vehicle gets hooked up to the tow truck and then raised off of the ground. This kind of towing is excellent for short hauls where the vehicle only needs to towed a short distance either to a home or an auto repair shop. It is also an optimal way to transport cars or lightweight vans and trucks.

At times, wheel lift towing is not the best option for specific kinds of vehicles or in certain conditions. In those situations, the best option to tow a vehicle from one location to the next is to use a flatbed truck. They are designed to haul bigger vehicles, those that do not have functioning tires, and vehicles that need all tires to be raised up from the ground. This method of towing vehicles is ideal for low-distance towing.
