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
