Towing equipment are of two types.
•
Flat-bed equipment - Your vehicle is loaded on the back of a truck. This is the
safest and best way of towing.
•
Wheel-lift equipment - The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the
tires (front or rear) and lift them off the ground. The other two tires remain on the
ground.
•
Sling-type equipment - The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on both ends.
These hooks go around parts of the frame or suspension and lift the end of the
vehicle off the ground. This is not a good method of towing as it may damage the
vehicle's suspension and body. Avoid a tow with sling type equipment
