Flatbed Towing

In most situations, flatbed towing stands out as the optimal choice, and it is the primary towing service we provide to our customers. However, if you require a different type of tow, please inform us, and we will make the necessary arrangements to accommodate your request. If no specific instructions are provided or if the towing requirement appears to be a standard flatbed tow, our team will arrive equipped accordingly.


The process of a flatbed tow involves hydraulically lowering the back of the tow truck to create a ramp for loading the vehicle. Depending on the condition of the vehicle, we employ a winch or a similar mechanism to load it onto the flatbed. Once the vehicle is securely positioned, we employ chains, straps, or other tools to fasten it down, ensuring no movement or damage during transportation. Subsequently, the flatbed is raised back to its level position to facilitate a smooth transfer. This is the standard procedure associated with flatbed towing, making it one of the most reliable and widely-used options within the towing industry.

Flatbed towing stands out as a superior option primarily due to its emphasis on safety compared to other towing methods. Unlike alternative approaches that may leave a vehicle in contact with the road, making it susceptible to foreign objects and potential hazards, flatbed towing ensures the vehicle is securely placed on the flatbed with a significant distance from the ground. This arrangement minimizes the risk of external damage. Moreover, flatbed towing incorporates locking mechanisms to maintain the vehicle's security throughout the transportation process. Consequently, the towed vehicle remains in a position similar to a normal parked state, enhancing safety. In addition to its safety advantages, the versatility of flatbed tow trucks makes them an excellent choice for various towing needs. As stated on our website, we have the capability to tow motorcycles and utilize flatbed tow trucks for this purpose.  The flatbed design provides ample support for any type of vehicle, making it an indispensable asset in our towing fleet. With flatbed tow trucks readily available, we are equipped to handle diverse situations that may arise on the road, ensuring we can efficiently respond to any towing requirement.

Flatbed towing offers exceptional accessibility and security, distinguishing it from other towing alternatives. With its spacious flatbed, this type of tow truck can accommodate vehicles of various types. It effortlessly handles four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles, while even severely damaged vehicles can be easily loaded onto the flatbed for towing. By loading the vehicles onto the flatbed, extra protection and security are provided, as the vehicles are kept off the road surface. Although using a flatbed tow truck may require a few additional minutes compared to methods like hook and chain towing, this slight increase in time is minimal and not a significant drawback. Another consideration is that the trucks used for flatbed towing are generally longer, making navigation through smaller city streets slightly more challenging. However, in most cases, flatbed towing remains the preferred option. To ensure a seamless towing experience, kindly provide us with a few details about your unique situation. This information will enable us to determine the appropriate tow truck and
towing services required. Rest assured, we will promptly dispatch our team to assist you as soon as possible.
