The basics
What Is Flatbed Towing?
Flatbed towing uses a truck with a flat, tilting platform. The vehicle is winched onto the bed and secured with straps, so no wheels roll on the road during transport. This is why it is the safest towing method for many vehicles.
If you’re unsure which method your vehicle needs, ask us — we’ll recommend the right one.
