What is the speed limit for a tow truck?
1 Answers
The maximum speed for towing a vehicle involved in an accident should not exceed 30 km/h. Below is relevant information about tow trucks: 1. Tow Truck: A tow truck generally refers to a large truck or semi-trailer where the cab and trailer are connected by a towing mechanism. This means the cab can detach from its original trailer to tow other trailers, while the trailer can also detach from its original cab to be towed by other cabs. The front part with driving capability is called the tow truck (or tractor), while the rear part without driving capability is called the trailer, which is pulled by the tow truck. 2. Connection Methods: There are two ways to connect a tow truck and trailer: The first method involves the front half of the trailer resting on the fifth wheel coupling at the rear of the tow truck, with the rear axle of the tow truck bearing part of the trailer's weight - this is called a semi-trailer. The second method connects the front end of the trailer to the rear end of the tow truck, where the tow truck only provides forward pulling force to drag the trailer without bearing its downward weight - this is called a full trailer.
