Towing Services


Tow companies like Buzz Towing, offer a wide variety of services to accommodate their customers, but being a well-educated customer is the best way to take advantage of what the company has to offer. Along with knowing what services tow companies offer and how they are most effectively used is always a fun way to get to understand how and why they work the way they do. When major accidents happen along the highway and cause backups for hours you can have an idea of why they are using what equipment that they are.



Wheel Lift Tow Truck

When a wheel lift tow truck is used this is the most efficient way for a car to be transported after a breakdown. This method is not always right for every vehicle or situation, but it is one of the useful ways to haul a car that is broken down and needs a local tow.
Wheel lift towing is a truck that has a metal lift system with a yoke that fits under the front or back wheels of your vehicle. It uses a hydraulic system to lift an end of your car off the ground while the other two wheels stay on the surface to assist with towing.
Using this method offers an advantage of not having to use chains to pull your vehicle. Using a wheel lift tow truck is less likely to cause harm to your vehicles' bumper or frame.



Flatbed Towing

Another method of towing a vehicle is using a flatbed tow truck. Flatbed towing can sometimes be the only way that a vehicle can be transported. They are equipped to handle situations that a wheel lift truck is not.
They are often required depending on the type of damage to a vehicle, the distance the vehicle needs to be hauled, and what the road conditions are. When a vehicle is damaged in an accident often the wheels and axles can be damaged making the standard wheel lift, not an option. Flatbed towing allows your car to completely be off the ground. This not only allows them to haul vehicles that are highly damaged, but it also allows a tow company to haul vehicles to keep them safe.
 If you have an expensive or older vehicle that you do not want road debris or potholes causing issues, flatbed towing is the best method to be used. Wheel lift towing also has a weight capacity that is much lower than a flatbed tow truck. A flatbed tow truck is much better equipped to handle larger and heavier loads more securely. Vehicle manufacturers also have a say in what is the safest way for the transported.
When flatbed towing is the only way for the vehicle to be towed it will clearly state it in the owner’s manual. The risk usually involves vehicles transmission damage and if the wrong type of car transportation is used it could be a costly mistake.
