Flatbed Towing

Flatbed towing is the safest and most secure way to transport a vehicle. Instead of lifting your car by the front or rear wheels like a traditional wheel-lift tow, a flatbed truck has a large platform that tilts down to the ground. Your vehicle is driven or pulled onto the platform, secured with straps and chains, and then the platform lifts back up. This means all four wheels are off the ground during transport, which eliminates the risk of damage to your tires, suspension, or drivetrain.

This method is ideal for vehicles that cannot be towed safely with a wheel-lift setup. If your car has all-wheel drive, low ground clearance, or serious mechanical damage, flatbed towing is often the only safe option. It is also the preferred choice for luxury vehicles, classic cars, and motorcycles, because it provides the highest level of protection during transport. When you choose flatbed towing, you can be confident that your vehicle will arrive at its destination in the same condition it was in when we picked it up.

We use modern flatbed trucks with hydraulic lift systems that make loading and unloading easy and efficient. Our operators are trained to secure vehicles properly, using multiple tie-down points to prevent any movement during transport. Whether your car is running or completely disabled, we can get it onto the flatbed safely. If you need emergency towing for a vehicle that requires special care, flatbed towing is the way to go.

Not every towing situation requires a flatbed, but there are certain scenarios where it is the best or only option. Here are the most common situations where flatbed towing is recommended.

Vehicles That Need Flatbed Towing

• All-Wheel Drive Vehicles: Cars with all-wheel drive systems can be damaged if towed with two wheels on the ground. Flatbed towing keeps all four wheels off the ground, protecting the drivetrain from harm.
• Low-Clearance Sports Cars: If your car sits low to the ground, a traditional tow could scrape the undercarriage. A flatbed eliminates this risk by lifting the entire vehicle onto the platform.
• Luxury and Classic Cars: High-value vehicles deserve extra protection. Flatbed towing prevents wear on expensive tires and suspension components, and it reduces the risk of cosmetic damage during transport.
• Vehicles with Major Damage: If your car was in an accident and cannot roll or steer properly, a flatbed is the safest way to move it. We can winch it onto the platform without causing additional damage.
• Long-Distance Towing: For trips that involve highways or extended distances, flatbed towing is more secure and puts less stress on your vehicle. It is the preferred method for long-distance towing.

If you are not sure whether your vehicle needs flatbed towing, just ask us when you call. We will help you figure out the best option based on your car's make and model, its condition, and where it needs to go. Our goal is to protect your vehicle and get it safely to its destination, whether that is a repair shop, your home, or a storage facility. As a professional towing company, we prioritize your vehicle's safety above all else.

The main advantage of flatbed towing is that it eliminates the risks associated with traditional towing methods. When a car is towed with a wheel-lift, the front or rear wheels stay on the ground while the vehicle is pulled. This can cause problems for certain types of vehicles, especially those with all-wheel drive or complex drivetrains. It can also put extra wear on tires and suspension components, and it increases the risk of scraping the undercarriage on uneven roads.

With flatbed towing, none of those issues exist. Your car sits securely on the platform, with all four wheels off the ground. This means there is no risk of drivetrain damage, no wear on your tires, and no chance of scraping the underside of your vehicle. The flatbed also protects your car from road debris, weather, and other hazards during transport. If you are towing a high-value vehicle, this extra layer of protection is well worth it.

Another benefit of flatbed towing is that it works for vehicles that are not in running condition. If your car cannot roll, steer, or brake properly, a wheel-lift tow could cause serious damage or even be impossible. Our flatbed trucks have winches that can pull a disabled vehicle onto the platform, even if the wheels are locked or the frame is damaged. This makes flatbed towing the go-to choice for accident recovery and severe mechanical failures.

We take extra care when loading and securing your vehicle on the flatbed. Our operators use heavy-duty straps and chains at multiple points to ensure the car does not shift during transport. We also use wheel chocks and other safety equipment to keep everything stable, even on bumpy roads or during sudden stops. When you trust us with your vehicle, you can be confident that it is in good hands from start to finish.
