Flatbed Towing

Why Flatbed Towing Is the Best Choice

When your vehicle needs to be towed, the method matters. Flatbed towing is the safest and most secure way to transport cars, trucks, and SUVs. Your vehicle sits completely on the truck bed with all four wheels off the ground. This means no wear on your tires, no stress on your transmission, and no risk of additional damage during transport. At DriveNGo Strongsville Towing, we use modern flatbed trucks for most towing jobs because we want to protect your vehicle like it is our own.

We have been providing flatbed towing services in Strongsville, OH since 2024. Our drivers are trained in proper loading techniques and vehicle securement. We handle everything from small economy cars to large pickup trucks with the same care and attention to detail. Whether you need emergency towing or planned vehicle transport, our flatbed service keeps your vehicle safe from start to finish.

How Flatbed Towing Works

Understanding the flatbed towing process helps you know what to expect when we arrive. Here is how it works:

Our flatbed truck has a large platform that tilts down to ground level. We call this the bed. When we reach your location, we position the truck and lower the bed using hydraulic controls. Then we carefully drive or winch your vehicle onto the flatbed. Once your car is properly positioned, we secure it using heavy-duty straps and chains at multiple points. This keeps your vehicle from shifting during transport. Finally, we raise the bed back to its horizontal position and transport your vehicle to wherever you need it to go.

The entire loading process takes about 10 to 15 minutes when conditions are normal. Our drivers work efficiently while still being careful with your vehicle. We check all securement points before we leave to ensure everything is properly fastened.

Vehicles That Benefit Most from Flatbed Towing

While flatbed towing works for almost any vehicle, some situations absolutely require it:

• Luxury and exotic cars: High-end vehicles need extra protection. Flatbed towing eliminates the risk of damage to expensive suspension and drivetrain components.
• All-wheel drive vehicles: AWD systems can be damaged if towed with wheels on the ground. Flatbed towing is the only safe option.
• Severely damaged vehicles: After an accident, your car might not roll properly. A flatbed can accommodate vehicles with significant damage.
• Classic and antique cars: Vintage vehicles deserve special care. Flatbed towing protects collector cars from any road contact.
• Low-clearance vehicles: Sports cars and lowered vehicles can scrape on traditional tow equipment. Flatbeds avoid this problem entirely.
• Motorcycles: Our flatbed service also handles motorcycle towing safely and securely.

Flatbed vs. Wheel-Lift Towing

You might wonder about the difference between flatbed towing and traditional wheel-lift towing. Here is a simple breakdown:

Wheel-lift towing lifts either the front or rear wheels off the ground while the other wheels roll on the road. This method works fine for some situations and costs less. However, it puts stress on your vehicle and limits where we can tow it. Flatbed towing lifts your entire vehicle off the ground. All four wheels are secured on the truck bed. This eliminates stress on your drivetrain, protects your tires from wear, and works for any type of vehicle regardless of drive configuration.

For long-distance towing, flatbed is always the better choice. The longer the distance, the more important it is to protect your vehicle from additional wear and tear. We recommend flatbed towing for distances over 50 miles and for any vehicle worth protecting.
