Flatbed Towing London
Flatbed towing is the safest and most professional method of transporting vehicles in London. Cheap Tow Trucks operates a fleet of modern flatbed and tilt-and-slide recovery trucks across the capital, providing flatbed towing in London for all vehicle types, 24 hours a day.
What Is Flatbed Towing?
Flatbed towing, also known as tilt-and-slide or rollback towing, involves loading the entire vehicle onto the bed of the tow truck, with all four wheels off the ground. This is in contrast to conventional towing, where the front or rear wheels remain on the road.
Flatbed towing is considered the gold standard for vehicle transport because it eliminates any risk of additional wear or damage to the towed vehicle transmission, tyres, suspension or drivetrain during transit.
Which Vehicles Need Flatbed Towing?
While flatbed towing is beneficial for any vehicle, it is essential for electric vehicles that cannot be towed with wheels on the ground, all-wheel drive vehicles where conventional towing can damage the transfer box, low-clearance sports cars where tow bars can scrape bodywork, accident-damaged vehicles where suspension or steering is compromised, and classic and prestige cars where maximum protection is required.
