Flatbed or Rollback Equipment
The flatbed tow truck comes in two varieties: rollback and flatbed. Both come with an empty flatbed at the rear, designed to carry vehicles. This specialized tow truck is equipped with hydraulics that allow the flatbed to be moved vertically up and down when mounting a vehicle on its bed.
To pick up a vehicle, the operator simply lays up a flatbed on the ground, drives the vehicle on top of it, and then puts the flatbed back on the ground. There are times when a vehicle becomes inoperable and cannot be driven, and the vehicle has to be hoisted onto a truck bed using chains and a winch. In order to set the vehicle securely behind the cab of the tow truck, the truck's powerful hydraulic system lifts the bed and the vehicle to a secure position in front of the cab once the vehicle is placed on the bed.
There is no doubt that flatbed trucks have become more and more popular due to their easy operation. In addition, they often tow vehicles to the desired destination. In most cases, towing companies use them to pick up and transport vehicles that have been involved in accidents or that have broken down on the road.
A flatbed truck has also become increasingly popular because of the safety factor it offers when it comes to transporting vehicles. By using this type of tow truck, you don't have to put any potentially dangerous pressure on the towed vehicle or drag the vehicle across the ground.This is unlike other tow trucks. During transport, the flatbed takes all of the stress off the vehicle, keeping it protected from harmful conditions during the transport process.

Hook and Chain Tow Truck
For towing junked vehicles, companies have hook-and-chain tow trucks available for use. The rear portion of these trucks is fitted with a heavy-duty hook and chain that is attached to the truck's frame.
Using the hook to hook onto a vehicle or piece of cargo that needs to be pulled or hauled, the operator can pull the vehicle behind the truck as they are traveling down the highway. By attaching the hook and chain to a vehicle, the operator can lift one side of it up so that it is suspended in the air while the wheels of the other side remain on the ground.
While suspended in the air by the hook and chain, the vehicle is lifted up on one side. It is important to note that towing trucks of this type basically drag the vehicle behind them as they transport the vehicle to its destination. There is a risk that this sort of transport can cause damage to whatever it is that is being towed, as it puts the bumper and other parts of the car in harm's way, which can cause scratches and more serious damage.
As an added benefit, these tow trucks are not compatible with either four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicles since they are likely to damage their drivetrains due to the dragging involved. For this reason, most companies employ hook-and-chain trucks as a last resort when it comes to towing wrecked vehicles and other cargo that does not require gentle handling during the towing process. Historically, these types of tow trucks were among the most popular types that were available. There are still some applications for them out there, such as towing cars to junkyards, in which they are still useful today.

Wheel Lift Tow Truck
Wheel lift tow trucks have been revamped versions of the hook and chain trucks that lift a vehicle's front or rear end and leave the other side's wheels on the road at the same time. It is then towed behind the tow truck on its way to its destination, while the vehicle is dragged behind it. In the majority of cases, these types of vehicles are transported to garages for repairs.
Tow trucks with a wheel lift rely on a metal yoke instead of hooks and chains to secure the vehicle, unlike hook and chain tow trucks that rely on chains. A metal yoke is placed beneath the front or rear wheels of a vehicle by the operator. As soon as you have positioned the tow truck behind the vehicle, it will utilize a pneumatic hoist or hydraulic lift so that you can partially raise the vehicle upwards. In this position, the tow truck operator will be able to stabilize the vehicle and put it into a position where it can be driven to the preferred destination by the tow truck driver.
The tow trucks use metal yokes instead of chains, and as a result, they cause less strain to the vehicle, since they are not using chains. Thus, they don't damage the vehicle the same way hook and chain trucks do, and operators don't have to worry about scratching a vehicle's bumper as they do with hook and chain trucks. Wheel lift tow trucks are ideal for repairing vehicles in need of repair, compared to those that are going to be disposed of in a junkyard due to lack of damage.

Integrated Tow Truck
There are several kinds of heavy-duty tow trucks, but integrated tow trucks are one of the most common types. These trucks are specifically designed to recover and tow heavy duty vehicles, such as busses and rigs, which play a crucial role in the recovery process.
In addition to towing vehicles quickly, these tow trucks are also often used in repossession applications or to remove illegally parked cars. This is due to the fact that they can hook up very quickly to vehicles.
Generally speaking, an integrated tow truck consists of both a wheel lift and a boom that are integrated into one unit. As a result, they have an extra axle, which is able to carry incredibly heavy and large vehicles, as they were designed for transporting enormous loads. It is important to note that this additional axle of the truck is essential in making the truck more stable and stronger so that it can withstand the great deal of pressure placed on it during transportation.
For more stability, integrated tow trucks are also equipped with arms which have been installed in the core of the vehicle to give them more stability.
The wheel lift and boom systems can be controlled by the operator from the cab of the truck, which means the operator does not have to get out of his cab when picking up a vehicle. As a result of this ability to stay inside the cab, an operator is in a good position to repossess a vehicle at any time, and as a result, the operator will be able to keep moving forward quickly.
