Flatbed Towing

Why Flatbed Towing Is the Best Choice

When you need to move your vehicle, how it gets there matters just as much as where it goes. Flatbed towing is the safest transport method available because your car sits completely on the truck bed. All four wheels are off the ground, which means no wear on your transmission, no stress on your tires, and no contact with the road during transport.

This method is especially important for luxury cars, sports cars, classic vehicles, and any car with low ground clearance. It also works perfectly for vehicles that cannot roll, like cars with locked brakes or major mechanical issues. At SolidLift Watertown Towing, we use modern flatbed trucks to ensure your vehicle arrives exactly as we found it.

When You Should Choose Flatbed Towing

Not every tow requires a flatbed, but many situations are better handled with one. Here is when flatbed towing is the right choice:

• Your car has all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive
• Your vehicle sits low to the ground and could scrape with a wheel lift
• The transmission is damaged or not working properly
• Your tires are flat, missing, or cannot roll
• You own a classic, luxury, or high-value vehicle
• Your car was in an accident and has frame or suspension damage

Flatbed towing eliminates risk. Your vehicle is secured to the bed with strong straps and chains, then lifted completely off the ground. For serious accidents or difficult recovery situations, you may also need our accident recovery and winching service to safely extract your vehicle first.

How Flatbed Towing Protects Your Vehicle

Traditional wheel-lift towing pulls your car with two wheels on the ground. That method works fine for many vehicles, but it can cause problems. If your car has drivetrain issues, towing with wheels down can make them worse. Even in good conditions, dragging a car can put stress on the suspension and undercarriage.

Flatbed towing avoids all of those problems. Your car is loaded onto the bed, secured tightly, and lifted into the air. Nothing touches the road. Nothing gets dragged. Your vehicle stays in the same condition from pickup to delivery. If you need urgent help, we also provide emergency towing services with flatbed trucks available 24/7.
