The lifting plate at the rear of a tow truck is called a tailgate. Tow truck: Its full name is road wrecker, composed of chassis, lifting device, towing and traction device, hydraulic system, electronic control system, body and toolbox, etc. It has multiple functions such as lifting, pulling and towing, and is suitable for highway and urban road clearance operations. Precautions for towing a vehicle are as follows: Locate the towing hook positions at the rear of the towing vehicle and the front of the towed vehicle; when installing towing tools, ensure that the connection to the vehicle hook is secure and reliable. If the towing hook is designed with a safety lock, it must be locked in place. Soft towing ropes without hooks at both ends should be tied with a slip knot when in use. If tied with a dead knot, the towing rope may become difficult to untie after being subjected to strong pulling force.
