Types of Towing and Their Differences
There are different types of Towing, you need to know which one is best suited for the vehicle and scenario. Brad’s Towing & Recovery has compiled a quick breakdown of the differences between the various types of towing.
Flatbed Towing
The ideal choice for most cars, motorcycles, and SUVs, flatbed towing requires a vehicle to be loaded onto the flatbed of a specialist towing vehicle. When secured, the vehicle can then be transported safely, without further risk of damage.
Hook & Chain Towing
An unpopular and somewhat archaic form of towing is hook and chain towing. It utilizes a truck with a crane hook, which is used to lift the front or rear of a vehicle off the ground. This has become an unpopular method of towing due to the high risk of damage to the vehicle being towed.
