What is a Tow Truck?

[MacDaniela]

A tow truck is a vehicle used for towing automobiles. It is suitable for highway and urban road clearance operations. Recovery Vehicle: Mainly used for road-disabled vehicles, urban traffic violators, and emergency rescue operations. Recovery vehicle capabilities can be categorized into light-duty, medium/heavy-duty, and super-heavy-duty. Light-duty recovery vehicles handle light trucks, minivans, and sedans; medium/heavy-duty recovery vehicles are designed for medium/heavy trucks and large/medium buses; super-heavy-duty recovery vehicles are used for heavy trucks and super-heavy semi-trailer series. Heavy Steel Flatbed Tow Truck: Used for large-tonnage industrial cargo transport, these include highway-compatible trailers and flatbed tow trucks. Another type is the port terminal tow truck used for containerized cargo handling, commonly employed as a hauling and towing tool in harbors.
