Design requirements for tow trucks: Rated load capacity, which can be designed according to the required tonnage. Load-bearing area, designed based on the required width and length of the flatbed tow truck. Tire type, whether solid tires or pneumatic tires; solid tires are wear-resistant and puncture-proof, while pneumatic tires allow for faster travel speeds.
