Many different kinds of tow trucks are utilized for different scenarios. At Gene’s Towing in Tacoma we have a large fleet that contains all the necessary tow trucks and other equipment to help our customers out of any problem. Our large fleet allows us to provide towing services to anyone in need.
These are useful for a variety of situations. They are a good option for long transportation because the vehicle is secured on the bed and not behind towed behind for a long distance. The foundations of these trucks can be lowered at an angle so that the vehicle in need can be driven up onto the bed and secured. If the vehicle is immobile, the trucks are equipped with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the bed.
The classic truck that most people think of is the hook and chain tow truck. It has an arm that allows a vehicle to be hooked up and towed behind the truck. This method is versatile but not recommended for long distances.
These are similar to hook, and chain but they are equipped with a yoke that attached to the wheels of the vehicle and either tows it behind on the front wheels or the back wheels, depending on the type of vehicle being towed.
These are equipped with a hydraulic arm used to lift vehicles out of tight spots. Some versions the arm is set in a fixed place on the truck, other the arm can pivot, and the heavy-duty boom trucks are small, mobile cranes.
These are a combination between a boom and wheel lift tow trucks. These types of trucks are useful for all kinds of jobs, big and small. The arm of the truck is anchored into the trucks making them more stable for bigger jobs.
