Know Your Tow Truck
Not sure which type of tow truck is ideally suited to the task at hand? Check out our handy guide, and rest assured that A Plus Towing always offers the best truck for the job!
Flatbed Tow Truck
Also known as a rollback, a flatbed tow truck features a long, hydraulically powered platform that tilts until its rear edge meets the ground. Once a vehicle has been driven onto and securely fastened to a flatbed, it can be transported as easily as any other large cargo.
Hook and Chain Tow Truck
This type of vehicle is the one most people picture when they envision a tow truck. Once its hook and chain are secured to a vehicle’s bumper and frame, respectively, the truck lifts the vehicle so only its rear tires remain in contact with the ground. This towing method may damage vehicles, and is typically reserved for pulling them free from snow and hauling wreckage.
Wheel Lift Tow Truck
Instead of a hook and chain, a wheel lift tow truck utilizes a metal yolk to raise a vehicle’s front or rear wheels off the ground. In addition to minimizing the risk of damage, this towing method permits easier maneuvering around tight spots. Its speed makes it optimal for moving damaged vehicles away from busy highways.
No matter the size of the load or where it’s heading, you can count on A Plus Towing to live up to our name.
