What is Wheel Lift Towing?
A wheel lift tow truck consists of a heavy-duty hydraulic crane in the rear with a few crossbars at the very end. The tow truck operator slips the bars underneath either the front two or rear tires of the vehicle. Then, the hydraulic crane will lift the rear end or front end of the vehicle, depending on whichever is best to keep your vehicle’s transmission safe. During the tow, two tires will continue to stay on the ground. The crane keeps the other two tires off the ground and keeps the raised end of your vehicle securely in place.
Is Wheel Lift Towing Right For My Vehicle?
Wheel lift towing is an excellent car towing option for lightweight vehicles. Unfortunately, wheel lift towing is not ideal for every kind of vehicle. Wheeling lift towing is ideal for towing smaller and lighter passenger vehicles a short distance around Chicagoland, but it is not recommended for long-distance tows or large, heavy vehicles. If you have four-wheel drive or an all-wheel drive vehicle, your vehicle will require flatbed towing or it can be damaged extensively. Also, if you have a vintage vehicle or an exotic car that requires extensive protection, wheel lift towing might not work well. Luckily, Lin-Mar Towing also offers a variety of other towing options if wheel lift towing is not the right choice for your vehicle.
The Advantages of a Wheel Lift Tow Truck
There are several benefits to utilizing the wheel lift tow truck vs. other types of towing vehicles:
Gets Your Car Out of a Tight Spot
If your vehicle is stuck in a tight spot, then you need a tow truck wheel lift. This type of towing is ideal for areas with low clearance and vehicles stuck in a tight spot. Wheel lift tow trucks are not that high and don’t need to lift the vehicle very high to attach to the truck.
Affordable Towing Prices
When it comes to tow truck prices, wheel lift towing is less expensive than flatbed towing.
Less Risk of Damage to Your Vehicle
Wheel lift towing is a much safer option than the old hook-and-chain method of towing vehicles.
Driven On Own Wheels
On a wheel lift tow truck, your vehicle is driven on its own wheels, which is beneficial for vehicles with low ground clearance or delicate suspension systems.
Highly Efficient
If you are looking for the fastest method of towing, then you want wheel-lift towing. Wheel-lift towing is an efficient method that allows for a quick towing process, if you are in a tight spot and require a fast tow.
Versatile Services
Wheel lift towing services can be used for a variety of lightweight vehicles, including those that are still drivable after a collision.
