Types of Tow Trucks

Wheel lift tow trucks are used for lifting the car from the front or back of the vehicle using a metal hook that is called a yoke. Sometimes the yoke would be under the front or back wheels, it isn't the safest way to tow a car or truck like the flatbed will. The quick hook up  drags your car from the front or the back causing it to have minor damages. The wheel lift are used for repossessions because of the compaction. 

Flatbed Tow Truck is one of the safest trucks to use to tow a car or truck. Its one of the most popular methods used for towing. Most towing companies use this tow truck for every job because it wont cause any damages to anyone vehicle. The only thing is that it takes a while to fasten the car into the flatbed but the extra time it takes, its well worth it if you do not want anything to happen to your vehicle.

Hook And Chain Trucks are used for towing different types of cargo. Since there were a lot of problems that occurred in the past its no longer common for towing companies to use them. Using them you have a bigger change on scratching or scraping the vehicle. The only time you might come across a hook an chain truck would be when you a junk a car or transporting wrecked cars or trucks because they are wrecked. 

Integrated Tow Truck is a special towing equipment for heavy duty towing purposes. They are used for towing heavy duty trucks or rigs because of their strong arm and it can hold a capacity up to 4,000 pounds.
