FLATBED TOWING STATESVILLE & MOORESVILLE, NC
One service we are delighted to offer the community here in Statesville is flatbed towing. There are some times when flatbed towing is the only option to move a damaged vehicle - but there are also benefits to using flatbed towing on other occasions, too. Often flatbed towing is easier than using a hook and chain type of truck, and it can also be safer both for the vehicle and other road users. If we think flatbed towing is the best option in your situation, we will let you know.
What Is Flatbed Towing? Traditional tow trucks work by lifting only one end of the car up, with the back wheels staying on the ground while being towed. However, this is not always the best option. A flatbed tow truck has a flatbed at the rear which is large and strong enough to carry a car or other vehicle. The vehicle is driven or winched up onto the flatbed, so that all 4 wheels are off the ground while towing. It is then strapped into place for safety before being moved. For many people, flatbed towing is the preferred method of towing for ease and safety. Why Use Flatbed Towing? Our crew here at Statesville Towing are experienced in all types of towing. Flatbed towing is deployed under a number of circumstances. If the vehicle has been in an accident which has damaged or broken the axle, a flatbed is definitely the best option. A flatbed is good also because it can help to prevent any further damage to the vehicle once it has been picked up. A traditional tow truck could accidentally damage the bumper of the towed vehicle if it hit a bump or hole in the road, but this is not possible with a flatbed truck. Flatbed Towing and Safety A flatbed tow service is sometimes the most convenient, if a car can still be driven up onto the trailer for towing. It is also a good choice for safety reasons. A traditional tow truck can leave the towed vehicle vulnerable to swinging out behind the tow truck, which can be dangerous.
