Tow Truck Wheel Lift
Sep 1st, 2009 by Kenny
A tow truck is a special emergency vehicle designed to tow or pull disabled vehicles out of the roadway to a safer location. It is also commonly used to confiscate illegally parked vehicles. Most tow trucks are based on a medium truck or heavy-duty pickup chassis.
There are three main types of tow trucks in use today: hook and chain, axle cradling, and flatbed. The hook and chain is the oldest type of tow truck; it uses chains around the towed vehicle. The axle cradling type features a large metal yoke that is fitted under the front wheels; a hydraulic hoist then lifts the front end of the vehicle so it can be towed. The flatbed type of tow truck has a bed at the back of the truck that can be hydraulically moved to ground level. This then allows the vehicle to be placed onto the bed either through a winch or through the towed vehicle’s own power.

Most of the time, the tow truck’s equipment is adequate enough for various situations. However, there are accessories and add-ons that can augment the capabilities of a tow truck and allow it to do more. Tow truck wheel lifts are accessories that can be installed in a tow truck to improve its versatility and functionality. Wheel lifts raise towed vehicles by attaching a winch cable to a lifting ring through a snatch block on the main boom. These wheel lifts can carry a heavy load capacity, although there are some wheel lifts that can be installed in light-duty pickup trucks.
If you are planning to purchase wheel lifts for tow trucks, you can find various types available from different manufacturers. Choose the wheel lift that is guaranteed to be strong and durable, even in heavy-duty situations. Inquire about the different kinds of wheel lifts available in the market. For more information, you can also research tow truck wheel lifts online, where there are a number of manufacturers available.
