Are you moving somewhere that’s about 100 miles or more from where you are currently living? Do you need to attend a car show that’s a couple of hundred miles away? Driving for 100 miles or more could take you hours depending on your speed and the amount of traffic present. Although some people enjoy long drives, it isn’t for all. Additionally, driving for long hours could also negatively impact your health.
Why would you risk your health when there is an alternative solution? Towing the car through those long distances would be a great alternative. However, you just don’t tow trucks that far. It has to be done with the right kind of tow truck or else you risk damaging the vehicle.
When you are in need of a tow truck to tow your vehicle for a long distance, the best to choose are the flatbed tow trucks. Flatbed tow trucks have a flat deck that carries the whole vehicle off the ground.
This is the best tow truck for such kind of towing because the car doesn’t touch the ground. This will help prevent the wheels from getting worn out.
With a raised car, rocks or small stones on the ground are less likely to hit the body or underbody of the vehicle. The flatbed offers better protection for the car so it is best to use for long-distance towing. However, you have to carefully load the car especially if it has a low profile.
A wheel lift tow truck is a popular alternative to flatbed tow trucks. They both are powerful enough to transport vehicles. However, wheel lifts aren’t ideal for long-distance towing. They may be good enough for short distances but shouldn’t be used otherwise.
With wheel lift tow trucks, two wheels are lifted while the other two are allowed to roll on the ground. The drivetrain of the vehicle affects which wheels will be lifted off the ground.
If you do this for a long distance, the tires would receive uneven wear and tear. The two used tires would need to be replaced earlier than the ones that are lifted. Additionally, the rolling ones would be more prone to being flat or to be blown out once you already use the vehicle.
Wheel lift tow trucks may be safe to use to tow cars but you must carefully choose when to use them. Distance is an important factor when it comes to choosing which tow truck to use.
When you need to transport your car across a long-distance, you simply have to call All Set Towing Company. They use a flatbed tow truck to safely provide long-distance towing services...
