Breaking down on the side of the road due to mechanical issues or being involved in an accident are just two examples of why you may require the towing services of your Citywide Towing Service experts. Depending on the situation, flatbed towing may be the best option for you. While moving a vehicle from point A to point B seems relatively straightforward, the way your car, SUV or truck gets there is essential to ensuring that your vehicle arrives without further damage.
Benefits of Flatbed Towing
In most cases, a flatbed truck is the preferable way to tow your vehicle, especially when you consider the benefits of riding on a flatbed truck, such as eliminating wear and tear on your tires or if your car has sustained damage to the axel in an accident. Other benefits include safely moving low profile cars which can be damaged by towing dollies. Flatbeds are ideal for moving heavy vehicles safely and essential for towing 4-wheel drive vehicles that can be damaged by a towing dolly where the front tires are lifted and the back tires make contact with the road, potentially causing damage to the transmission. No value can be associated with classic and vintage vehicles, and many owners consider these types of cars and trucks priceless. Utilizing a flatbed tow truck will prevent further damage and ensure safe transport.
How Does a Flatbed Tow Truck Work?
Your time is valuable, and there is nothing more frustrating than being stuck on the side of the road and unable to get where you need to be. A flatbed tow truck carries your vehicle instead of dragging it behind, essentially getting your vehicle to the destination faster. Compared with other towing methods, flatbed towing prevents wear and tear on your tires while also avoiding damage to your engine and transmission. It is also one of the safest ways to transport your vehicle because it is secured firmly to a flatbed instead of swaying behind a truck that can potentially place other cars and pedestrians using the roadway at risk. There are several situations where towing with a flatbed tow truck may be your only available option. For example, if you have been involved in an accident, and your axle or other vehicle components are severely damaged. Using a flatbed to tow your vehicle is relatively easy as your car can be driven up the flatbed before being strapped down or if your vehicle is badly damaged it can be pulled onto the flatbed using a winch system.
