Our wheel-lift trucks provide quick, cost-effective towing for front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive vehicles. The hydraulic boom lifts the drive wheels off the ground for safe, efficient transport.
Call (740) 812-9489Wheel-lift towing is the most common and cost-effective method for transporting standard front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive vehicles. Our hydraulic wheel-lift systems cradle the drive wheels off the ground while the free-rolling wheels ride on the pavement.
This method is ideal for short to medium-distance tows, parking lot removals, and situations where quick response is the priority. Our wheel-lift trucks are smaller and more maneuverable than flatbeds, making them perfect for tight parking lots, narrow streets, and congested urban areas.
Every wheel-lift tow includes proper vehicle assessment to ensure this method is appropriate for your specific vehicle. If your car requires flatbed service (AWD, lowered, or damaged), we will always recommend the safer option.
