What type of tow truck do I need to tow my car? Flatbed or Wheel lift?

Mainly there are two types of tow trucks that are mostly used to move and transport cars: a traditional wrecker trucks and a flatbed towing trucks. Most of our customers, when they are in need of towing service, they just want the vehicle taken from the breakdown location to a repair garage or a residence. Depending on the make, model and special circumstances we will dispatch either flatbed or a wrecker truck to the site. Now you would ask : Should my car be towed by flatbed towing Portland or a wheel lift truck and how would I know which one is safer for my situation?

 You obviously have been in a parking structure or an underground garage in Downtown Portland. Now try to remember what was the clearance of that garage or how low was the ceiling. If your car doesn’t start on the 3rd lever of the parking garage and you have to get it towed, there would be impossible to get a flatbed tow truck in to that parking garage, but a wheel lift truck would pick up your car right up and tow it out of this tight space.

Proper towing of a all wheel drive 4×4 vehicles.

If you are driving AWD car and have a breakdown you most definitely will request a flatbed towing service. In most cases you would be right. Towing a 4 by 4 car just by lifting its front or rear wheels may damage its transmission or differential. Modern wreckers carry car dollies to completely lift the vehicle of the ground when towing, so no damage is caused when transporting a vehicle. Today’s modern wrecker tow trucks are as capable as flat bed tow trucks.
