The first thing you need recognize is whether your is 2 wheel drive (2WD), 4 wheel drive (4WD), or all wheel drive. 2WD drive cars can be front or rear wheel drive and may also be towed safely by keeping the drive wheels going. If this isn’t possible, then the car should be towed by a flat bed tow truck or by placing tow dollies under those with disability vehicle in order to keep the drive wheels up and running.
Today’s modern towing equipment utilizes two different varieties of technology. The first being wheel lift, which can be utilised for both cars and medium or durable tow. Bulk tows the car by the wheels therefore assuring damage free towing. No part of the towing apparatus contacts the car or truck’s body. Another method of towing is flat bed, which is a hydraulically operated tilt bed body using a winch. Most flatbeds purchase the capability to tow a second car on the rear making use of the wheel lift technology.
Flat beds are appropriate all wheel drive and 4WD cars, exotic cars, and cars with low ground discount. This method allows for all of four wheels to be off the soil. The car sits on the surface of the bed and is secured down with chains or straps to insure against harms.
