We have all been in a position that you look down and the gas light pops on in an area that is not ideal. It can be difficult to find a place to refill when you are in a hurry. There are also times that you are stranded on the side of the road. This can be from an accident or from car trouble. Even if you are careful and care for your car regularly there are things that can still go wrong. When you find yourself in a position that your vehicle is inoperable you need to have a plan. You need to always make sure that you are in a safe spot that you can stop. Then call out a tow truck so that we can come and drop off fluids or we can tow you to a garage or your house. When you make the call, the tow truck operator will need to get some information from you in order to bring the tools we will need.
Highway 30 Towing Spotlights Common Types of Tow Trucks
Types of Tow Trucks: You can call a tow company and often have have a few tow truck options. One is called a wheel lift that allows the tow truck driver the ability to lift the car only partially off the ground. We can back the car into the lift or pull it straight in. The trucks often have hydraulic options to help move the car with ease. The other main option of tow truck is called a flatbed. This is a tow truck that can get the car all the way off the ground and onto the back of the truck. The truck has a hydraulic bed so that it can tilt down and the car can be pulled onto the back so all four wheels are on the transport.
When You Need a Flatbed Tow Truck: If you have been in a car accident that has caused severe damage to your vehicle you will likely need to have a flatbed tow. The car is not able to roll on the street and that means that it cannot be lifted only partially. The flatbed is also a great option for a motorcycle that is also a vehicle that can end up having problem. The tow truck operator can strap the motorcycle on safely so that it can be taken to be repaired.
When You Need a Wheel Lift System: If you are having trouble with your car or truck that is making it so that it cannot run then you might be okay using a wheel lift. As long as the vehicle has the ability to roll it can usually be placed on a wheel lift tow truck. The wheel lift is sent out for a car that has overheated, dead battery or any other motor problems. Be sure to talk to the operator about the cars ability so they send the right truck out.
