Different problems call for different solutions, and it’s no different with tow trucks! When you need a tow from A1 Towing Cincinnati, your particular issue will determine the type of tow truck they send out to help. Whether your tire is flat or you’ve been in an accident, these towing pros will always send the right vehicle to transport your stranded set of wheels. 

3 Types Of Tow Truck

1. Sling

Also known as “hook and chain” trucks, sling tow trucks are probably the most recognizable to the average driver. However, they’re much less common on the road today because they often damage bumpers. They are helpful in towing cars from accidents or cars who have missing front wheels.

2. Wheel-Lift

This tow truck uses a metal yoke to cradle the front or rear wheels of the vehicle. These are used in similar situations as sling tow trucks, but are favored over slings because they are less prone to cause damage to vehicles.

3. Flatbed

The flatbed tow truck uses a hydraulic lift to give the truck bed an incline. The bed is then lowered to the ground and the vehicle is driven or dragged onto the back. This is often used in emergency towing situations.
