Light Duty Towing

A black tow truck is parked in a parking lot.

What you might consider basic towing services are included in light and medium load towing services. Towing sedans, coupes, and smaller cars, removing abandoned vehicles, assisting victims of roadside accidents, and towing vehicles from private land are only some of the services available. The vehicles that perform these light-duty services are smaller, lighter trucks with good driving efficiency. Heavy-duty towing trucks, on the other hand, are substantially larger and typically have up to 25-ton boom lifts, a winch, and 6-ton wheel lifts. Their job is to haul enormous loads and freight, which necessitates a lot of horsepower and torque to move safely. Light-duty jobs are equally important, but towing with the wrong truck can be costly and inefficient. If you hire a heavy duty tow truck to transport your automobile, the tow task may take longer than it would if a smaller, more efficient light duty truck was dispatched. Using the wrong truck for the job will cost you extra money and waste resources that you don't need. You won't be able to safely tow or even move the weight if you send a light duty truck for a heavy duty tow. As a result, it's critical to hire a skilled towing firm that knows

which towing truck is appropriate for the job. It's not uncommon to come across both regular and standard towing operations in Chapel Hill when it comes to light-duty towing. Light duty responsibilities may include removing abandoned automobiles, private property, and accident recovery. Consider a Nissan Frontier, Honda Civic, or Ford F Series truck if you're attempting to imagine what types of vehicles might be deemed light duty.
