Professional Wheel Lift Tow Trucks for Precise Towing
Our tow fleet is versatile and that’s why we also provide wheel lift towing services across Gwinnett County and Metro Atlanta for quick and flexible options for car transport. Whether you’re dealing with a non disabled car in the City of Lawrenceville Parking Deck, a parking enforcement towing in Norcross Apartment Complex, or a tight-space recovery in downtown Atlanta. Be sure we will get the job done safely and fast.
Wheel lift towing is ideal for light- to mid-duty vehicles, especially in urban or constrained environments where maneuverability is crucial. This towing approach lifts the front or rear wheels (depending on the car’s drivetrain) off the ground using hydraulic lift arms, making it perfect for short-distance hauls, parallel-parked vehicles, or seamless impounds.
When Is Wheel Lift Towing the Best Choice?
Wheel lift towing is not a one-size fits-all solution — but it is perfect in certain situations:
- Tight Parking & City Recovery: Retrieve illegally parked or disabled vehicles from parking garages, as wheel lift tow trucks clearance and overall size allows them to drive into garage structures and make turns safely. Also very efficient for narrow streets, and tight spaces to retrieve cars.
- Short-Distance Tows: Great for towing across town or between local repair shops as well as car auction sites for speed and maneuvering.
- Front-Wheel Drive Cars: Efficiently tow these vehicles without risking drivetrain damage. Otherwise wheel lift needs additional dollies to tow AWD cars or cars with multiple flat tires (like front and rear).
- Parking Enforcement & Private Property Tows: Efficiently and legally removes cars from restricted zones or contracted private properties.
Wheel Lift Safety & Speed While Loading & Unloading
Wheel lift trucks are the fastest and most efficient for loading cars. Our tow truck drivers are trained to use padded L-arms and adjustable yokes that adapt to different wheel sizes and ground clearance levels. We always align the lift with vehicle specifications to uphold suspension safety. Each wheel is getting strapped to ensure complete safety and damage-free transportation.
All our fleet includes combo trucks (flatbed + wheel lift) for complex tows or second-vehicle hauls as well as straight wheel lift only trucks.
