What exactly does tow truck mean?

A tow truck is a vehicle used to transport vehicles that are not able to move under their own power. This can be due to a breakdown, an accident, or simply because the vehicle is not in working condition. Tow trucks are also used to transport vehicles that are being impounded or towed away for parking violations.

There are many different types of tow trucks, but they all share a few common features. They typically have a large, flatbed platform that can be raised and lowered to load and unload vehicles. They also have a winch or other mechanism to pull or lift vehicles onto the platform.

Some tow trucks are also equipped with hydraulic lifts, which can be used to raise and lower vehicles vertically. This can be useful for loading vehicles that are in tight spaces or that have low ground clearance.

Tow trucks are essential for keeping our roads safe and clear of disabled vehicles. They provide a valuable service to both motorists and law enforcement.
