Sometimes wheel lift towing isn't the best way to deal with a towing job and it will be better to use a flatbed truck. There are many reasons why this might be the case. Occasionally, for reasons to do with the design of a particular car, the manufacturer will specify that it should be towed only on a flatbed truck with its wheels off the ground. Just as cars differ in their method of manufacturer they can need to be towed in a specific way.

Flatbed towing is also the preferred method of transporting a vehicle for longer distances. The car can be secured on the flatbed truck and will not be subjected to the additional weight being forced on only one side of tires.
Our fleet of tow trucks are fully equipped to handle any type of car.

For instance, vehicles which are fitted with a ride leveling system, air shock absorbers or computer controlled suspensions of any other kind, could suffer damage if they are secured to a flatbed by the traditional method of fitting chains to the vehicle’s front and rear. These vehicles need to be fitted with a system that allows all four wheels to be tied down independently so that their suspension systems can operate normally to adjust to the movement of the truck.
