When you think of a towing service, you might assume it’s as simple as loading a car onto a truck. However, a truly professional tow service ensures that your vehicle is transported safely, without any damage. Not all towing services offer the same level of care, and to guarantee a damage-free trip, it’s essential to use a flatbed tow truck. At Speedy Tow Services, we use flatbed trucks to provide the highest level of protection for your vehicle during transport.
A flatbed tow truck is designed with a flat, level platform, allowing us to place all four wheels of your vehicle on the back of the truck. This method eliminates the risk of damage to tires, body, engine, and other parts of the vehicle during transport. Unlike traditional tow trucks, which lift one end of the vehicle, flatbed trucks avoid unnecessary wear and tear. If a hook and chain tow truck is used, your vehicle is more likely to experience damage from bumps, potholes, or other road hazards.
Safety is a top priority for us. Flatbed tow trucks offer the safest mode of transportation for your vehicle, as the entire car is secured firmly to the flat platform. Our experienced team takes all necessary precautions to ensure your vehicle is securely strapped down before transport begins. While other tow trucks can allow your vehicle to sway during transit, risking damage and posing a danger to other drivers and pedestrians, a flatbed truck ensures stability, minimizing these risks.
There are certain situations where a flatbed tow truck is the only viable option. For instance, if your vehicle’s back wheels are damaged or immobile, other types of tow trucks that rely on functional wheels may not be able to tow it. A flatbed truck, however, can safely transport any vehicle regardless of the condition of its wheels. This makes flatbed towing the best option for vehicles that are severely damaged or have mechanical issues.
Flatbed towing is also one of the quickest and most efficient methods of vehicle transport. Loading your vehicle onto a flatbed is simple and fast, especially if it’s in good condition—you can drive it right up onto the platform. In cases where the vehicle is not operational, we use a winch to pull it onto the flatbed easily. This is far quicker and more efficient than using a dolly, which requires the removal of your vehicle’s drive shaft to avoid transmission damage.
