24/7 Tow Truck in Edgeworth

Electric vehicles often require different towing methods. Many EVs must be towed with all four wheels off the ground to avoid damaging the electric motor or drivetrain. Flatbed towing is usually recommended. Some EVs also have tow mode settings that should be activated prior to transport. Towing an EV improperly can void warranties or cause costly damage. When requesting a tow, always specify that it's an electric vehicle and provide the make and model so the operator can follow manufacturer-recommended procedures.

A dolly tow involves lifting the front (or rear) wheels of a vehicle off the ground and placing them on a small trailer called a dolly, while the other wheels remain on the road. It’s commonly used for front-wheel drive cars, but not ideal for all-wheel or rear-wheel drive unless special precautions are taken. It's a cost-effective alternative to a flatbed, but not as suitable for long distances or vehicles with drivetrain damage. Dolly towing is often used in short-distance urban recoveries.

Forklifts and scissor lifts are heavy and often lack road capability. To transport them, towing services use tilt tray trucks, flatbeds, or machinery floats. Loading involves ramps or winches, and the equipment is secured with chains and ratchet straps. Operators ensure that fuel or power sources are safely shut off and verify the machinery’s weight and dimensions for compliance. Transporting this equipment requires understanding of load restraint laws and may involve permits for oversized machinery or routes with load limits.
