We recently launched new and advanced tow trucks for flatbed towing purposes in Des Moines. These trucks are capable of safely and smoothly transporting any load to its destination. A flatbed tow truck looks simple compared to other tow trucks, but they are the safest way to tow cars and vans.

What types of vehicles can be towed by flatbed trucks?

Our flatbed trucks can transport all types of light and heavyweight vehicles, including cars, vans, light-duty trucks, medium-duty trucks, and motorcycles. The advantage of towing cars or trucks by flatbed tow trucks is that they do not get damaged while towing. Flatbed towing is mostly used when it becomes impossible to tow a car or truck because of severe damage. This mostly occurs when the damage occurs at the rear or front wheel, and the wheels cannot rotate.

How the flatbed towing works

Most often, flatbed truck service is required when a car or motorbike is damaged so much that transporting it through regular means of transport becomes difficult. Besides transporting severely damaged vehicles, other reasons for hiring our flatbed tow trucks are to transport vintage cars to auto shows and heavy machinery to construction sites.

The truck used for flatbed towing usually comes with a large flat surface or sometimes with a trolley that has a large flat surface on it. The bed that carries vehicles usually leans down to make loading the vehicles easier. A metallic rope is installed on the flatbed truck to winch out cars and trucks to the top of the flatbed truck. An additional metal rope to tie the car with the flatbed truck’s body is used to ensure the safety of the vehicle while towing it on an uneven surface. For the additional safety of the car, we keep a metallic door at the backside of our flatbed tow truck, which ensures that the car doesn’t fall.
