Towing Equipment
Towing Equipments are of three Types
Flat-bed equipment: The vehicle is loaded on the
back of a truck. This is the safest and best way of
towing.
Wheel-lift equipment: The tow truck uses two
pivoting arms that go under the tyres (front or rear)
and lift them off the ground. The other two tyres
remain on the ground.
Sling-type equipment: The tow truck uses metal
cables with hooks on both ends. These hooks go
around parts of the frame or suspension and lift the
end of the vehicle off the ground. This is not a good
method of towing as it may damage the vehicle's
suspension and body. Avoid tow with sling type
equipment.
If the vehicle cannot be transported by flat-bed
equipment, it should be towed by wheel-lift
equipment with the front wheels off the ground.
