Tow trucks, recovery vehicle

Tow truck is a type of special trucks whose main purpose is to transport vehicles which for any reason are not able to continue movement on their own (breakdown, accident, serious violation of traffic regulations by the driver and so on).

There is quite a large range of tow trucks with different constructive features. For example, one can distinguish groups of tow trucks with partial or full loading of the transported vehicles. In the first case, only one axis the car is fixed, while the second case the car is completely placed on the loading platform of the tow truck; depending on the model, this platform can be either fixed or sliding (it is powered by a hydraulic system). After the loading, the car is fixed securely with the use of special devices and fastening straps.

Integral elements of the tow truck equipment undoubtedly include various devices for loading and unloading (winches or cranes, sliding or folding ramps, etc.), which allows it to fully carry out its functions without the need for additional equipment.

It is clear that each specific situation defines the need to choose one or another type of the tow trucks. While a vehicle with minor breakages or the one evacuated because of traffic violations or parking rules can be transported without problems on a tow truck with partial loading (and even by simply being towed), in the case of a serious accident one can not do without a tow truck equipped with a crane, which provides the possibility of full loading.
