Flatbed Towing

In most situations, flatbed towing is the preferred and standard towing service we provide to our customers. However, if you require a different type of tow, kindly inform us so that we can accommodate your specific needs. If no specific instructions are given, or if the towing requirement appears to be a typical flatbed tow, our team will arrive equipped accordingly. During a flatbed tow, the rear of the tow truck is hydraulically lowered to the ground, creating a ramp for the vehicle to be loaded onto the flatbed.


Depending on the vehicle's condition, we utilize a winch or a similar mechanism to facilitate the loading process. Once the vehicle is safely loaded, we secure it using chains, straps, or other appropriate tools to ensure it remains stable and protected throughout the transportation.


Finally, the flatbed is raised back to its regular position, allowing for smooth transfer. This standard procedure associated with flatbed towing makes it one of the most reliable options available within the towing services industry.

Flatbed towing surpasses other towing methods in terms of safety, making it a superior choice. Unlike alternative options that may leave the vehicle in contact with the road, thereby exposing it to potential hazards and foreign objects, flatbed towing ensures the vehicle is securely positioned on the flatbed, maintaining a safe distance from the road surface. Additionally, the use of locking mechanisms guarantees the vehicle's stability during transportation, providing an added layer of security. Essentially, the vehicle being towed assumes a position similar to a normal parked state, which is inherently safe.


Furthermore, the versatility of flatbed tow trucks makes them an excellent choice for various towing needs. As mentioned on our website, we have the capability to tow other vehicles such as motorcycles, utilizing our flatbed tow trucks for this purpose. The flatbed design offers reliable support for vehicles of all types, ensuring we are equipped to handle any situation that may arise on the road. This adaptability positions flatbed towing as an indispensable component of our towing fleet.

Flatbed towing offers remarkable accessibility and security, distinguishing it from other towing alternatives. The expansive flatbed of this type of tow truck can easily accommodate vehicles of various sizes and types. Four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles can be effortlessly loaded onto the flatbed, as can severely damaged vehicles. By placing these vehicles on the flatbed, additional protection and security are provided, eliminating any contact with the road surface.


While it may take a few extra minutes compared to other towing methods such as hook and chain, the use of a flatbed ensures a higher level of safety and preserves the condition of the towed vehicle. The only potential drawback may be the size of the trucks required for flatbed towing, as they tend to be longer and may pose challenges when maneuvering on smaller city streets. However, in most cases, flatbed towing remains the preferred option.
