A Tow-Away Recovery truck (also called a wreck, a damaged vehicle truck, a salvage car truck or a collapsing truck) is a truck used to transport disabled, poorly parked, reserved or other vehicles. This may involve recovering a damaged vehicle in an accident, returning to a dredged surface in an accident or storm, or towing or moving the vehicle to a repair shop or elsewhere.
A tow truck is different from a road carrier that simultaneously transports new or multiple vehicles in routine transportation operations.
At WorkTruck, we understand the towing business is unbelievably challenging. That’s why we build trucks that are as tough and dependable as the road-warriors who operate them. So no matter what the road throws at you, your WorkTruck Tow-Away Recovery Vehicle gives you the efficiency, protection and grit needed to take care of business.
Unlike the Flatbed, the Tow-Away Recovery truck lifts your car by the drive wheels and then drags it. The Wheel Lift is fitted with a metal yoke and a hydraulic system to help lift your car either on the front or rear tires.
