Light Duty Wrecker Tow Trucks For Sale

Wreckers vs. Other Tow Vehicles

Compared to a rollback tow truck or a flatbed truck, both of which can carry a vehicle on an empty bed, a wrecker tows a vehicle using various components. These can include:

• Hydraulic and pneumatic controls
• An adjustable boom
• Winches
• Hooks and chains
• Wheel lifts
• Slings
• Belts
• Rubber straps
• Tow dollies
• Hoists
• Spreader bars

Modern wreckers, however, generally forgo using hooks and chains in favor of a wheel lift, underlift, or chassis lift mechanism to lessen the likelihood of scratches, dents, and other damage occurring to the towed vehicle while in transit.

Wrecker Tow Truck Features

Depending on the model, a wrecker tow truck may include a variety of features designed to enhance performance and improve operator comfort and safety. Some examples include:

• Outriggers to improve lifting capacity and stability
• Sleeper compartments in heavy-duty models for cross-country hauls
• Remote control abilities
