Safe, Modern Flatbed Towing Instead of Dangerous Rope or Bar Tows
Attempting to tow a modern broken-down vehicle behind another car with a tow rope or rigid bar is both hazardous and mechanically destructive. Without a running engine, power-assisted steering and vacuum/electro-hydraulic brake servos do not function, and modern automatic or hybrid transmissions overheat rapidly when towed with wheels turning on the road.
Our Hertfordshire emergency towing service uses dedicated hydraulic tilt-and-slide flatbed trucks:
- Complete 4-Wheel Elevation: Your vehicle sits securely on the truck bed with all four wheels lifted off the tarmac and strapped over the tyres.
- Winch & Wheel-Skate Loading for Immobilised Casualties: Whether your steering lock is engaged, your automatic gearbox is stuck in Park (
Vehicle Stuck in Park: Yes), or a wheel bearing has collapsed (Does the Vehicle Roll: No), our winch and low-friction polymer skates load the vehicle cleanly. - Direct Relay to Any UK Destination: We tow your vehicle straight to your home driveway, a trusted local repair garage, a main dealer, or any UK postcode at £2.00 per loaded road mile on top of our £50.00 base call-out.
