When your vehicle needs to be transported, choosing the right towing method is crucial for safety and protection. At Markham Towing, we offer both flatbed and traditional towing services to suit different vehicle types and situations. Here’s what you need to know about each method.
Flatbed Towing: The Safest Transport Option
How It Works: Your vehicle is fully loaded onto a flatbed tow truck and securely fastened for transport.
Best For:
- Luxury, classic, and sports cars that require extra care.
- All-wheel drive (AWD) and low-clearance vehicles that shouldn’t be towed traditionally.
- Long-distance towing, ensuring minimal wear and tear.
Safety Benefits:
- Keeps the entire vehicle off the ground, protecting it from road debris and potential damage.
- Eliminates strain on tires, transmission, and suspension.
Traditional Towing (Dolly Towing): A Quick and Cost-Effective Solution
How It Works: Uses a tow dolly or direct connection to a tow truck, lifting only the front or rear wheels while the rest of the car remains on the road.
Best For:
- Short-distance towing or emergency roadside situations.
- Front-wheel-drive (FWD) vehicles that do not require all wheels to be off the ground.
Considerations:
- Exposure to road hazards such as potholes, debris, and weather conditions.
- Not ideal for AWD or luxury vehicles due to the risk of transmission damage.
Mechanized Car Towing Cranes: Advanced Solutions
At Markham Towing, we also offer mechanized towing cranes equipped with hydraulic jacks and advanced lifting systems, perfect for tight spaces and challenging road conditions.
Which Towing Service Should You Choose?
- For premium, AWD, or long-distance transport, flatbed towing is the best choice.
- For quick, short-distance, or emergency situations, traditional towing is a viable option.
