Types of Light Duty Towing

Car Towing

Light duty car towing is used to transport passenger vehicles that cannot continue driving safely. Cars may be towed following a breakdown, accident, flat tire, battery problem, or mechanical failure.

SUV Towing

SUV towing requires equipment appropriate for the vehicle’s size, weight, drivetrain, and configuration. The vehicle is assessed before towing so the appropriate loading and securing method can be used.

Pickup Truck Towing

Light-duty pickup trucks can be transported when mechanical problems, electrical failures, accidents, or other conditions prevent the vehicle from being driven. Towing equipment is selected according to the truck’s specifications and condition.

Breakdown Towing

A vehicle that has stopped operating because of an engine problem, transmission issue, electrical fault, overheating, or another mechanical condition may require towing. Light duty towing can move the disabled vehicle to a suitable repair or storage location.

Accident Towing

Vehicles involved in collisions may have damaged tires, suspension components, body parts, or other systems that make driving unsafe. Towing allows the vehicle to be removed from the accident location and transported for inspection, repair, or storage.

Local Towing

Local light duty towing is used when a vehicle needs to be transported within Riverdale Park or to a nearby community. Common destinations include automotive repair facilities, dealerships, residences, parking facilities, and storage locations.

Light Duty Towing Process

The towing process begins by determining the vehicle type, condition, location, and reason for the tow. This information helps identify the equipment and towing method required for the vehicle.

Before loading, the vehicle and surrounding area are assessed for accessibility and potential obstacles. If the vehicle cannot be driven, additional equipment may be needed to position it for loading.

The vehicle is then loaded using appropriate towing equipment and secured for transportation. Securing methods depend on the vehicle’s configuration and the selected towing method.

After loading, the vehicle is transported to the requested destination. During unloading, the vehicle is positioned carefully according to the available space and destination requirements.
