24/7 Tow Truck in Cameron Park 

Towed vehicles are secured using heavy-duty straps, chains, or wheel nets to prevent movement while in transit. On flatbeds or tilt trays, straps are typically attached to designated tie-down points on the frame or wheels. For non-flatbed towing (e.g., wheel-lift), vehicles are secured by lifting two wheels and locking them in place with arms or brackets. Operators regularly inspect tie-downs during transport, especially for long distances. Proper securing is critical to prevent vehicle damage, shifting loads, and road safety issues.

Yes, most towing companies can assist if your boat trailer breaks down, whether it’s due to axle damage, tire blowout, or bearing failure. Depending on the trailer’s condition, they may tow both the trailer and boat on a flatbed or use recovery tools to stabilize it. Some providers have cradle systems or adjustable trailers suited for marine recovery. It’s helpful to provide the boat’s weight and length, as well as trailer type (e.g., single or tandem axle) so they can arrive properly equipped.

In most jurisdictions, towing a car with a rope or chain is only legal under very specific conditions—usually for short distances, at low speeds, and with appropriate lighting and signage. It’s not recommended due to the lack of braking control, steering limitations, and the potential for sudden stops. Improper towing using a rope or chain can be dangerous and may lead to fines or liability for damage or accidents. It’s far safer—and often required by law—to use a professional towing service with suitable equipment.
