Tow trucks, recovery trucks, recovery vehicles

A tow truck is designed to pull vehicles that face defects on the road. The weight of this truck depends on which vehicles it is designed to transport. Tow trucks come in different styles for different purposes, such as hauling a wrecked car to a junkyard or pulling a car with a malfunction to a repair shop.

Main types of tow trucks:

1. The flatbed tow truck has a large platform on which a vehicle can sit completely. The platform can extend and tilt towards the ground.
2. The hook and chain tow truck uses a hook and a chain to tow vehicles from one place to another.
3. The wheel lift tow trucks use a yoke, which is a piece attached to the back of the tow truck that goes under the car’s front wheels.
4. An integrated tow truck uses two different mechanisms, usually a boom and a wheel lift, combined into one unit.
5. A boom truck has a hydraulic arm called a boom that extends outside the vehicle and grabs vehicles.
