What is a Tow Truck Winch Out Used For?
There is a standard towing service where they can get your car on a flatbed or a wheel lift and take it to a repair shop or your house etc. If you are in a position that your car is not able to be loaded you may need to use a winching service. This is where your car is attached with a chain or wire securely to the back of the tow truck. The way that it works is that the chain is then attached to a pulley system that uses a hydraulic system to drag the car or truck into position so that it can be towed. The winch is also on some trucks that are used for off-roading and find themselves in a position to not be able to get out without some extra assistance.
When Do You Need a Tow Truck Winch Out?
There are lots of instances that you can find yourself pulled off the side of the road waiting for a tow. This safe way to pull off the road is not the only way that you might be stranded. You could be in a precarious situation stuck in a ditch, mud or sand; and that will call for a winch. Some of the ways that this can happen is if your car runs off the road and down in a ditch. It can also be a car that has rolled down a hill or cliff. You also could need a winch out if your car careens off the road and into a body of water. These are all things that you would need to call a tow company that offers winch out services.
