Wheel-Lift Towing

Wheel-lift towing for compatible vehicles and tight spaces.

A wheel-lift truck can fit places where a flatbed has too little room, including some apartment garages and compact lots. It lifts one end of a compatible vehicle while the other wheels remain on the road. Tell the operator the drivetrain, weight, clearance, damage, and garage height so they can confirm that a wheel lift is suitable and that their equipment fits the job.

What do drivers ask about Wheel-Lift Towing?

What is wheel-lift towing?

A wheel-lift truck has a metal yoke that slides under the drive wheels and lifts only that end of your vehicle off the ground - the other end rolls on its own wheels. It is faster than a flatbed and fits into tight lots where a flatbed cannot.

Is wheel-lift safe for my car?

It depends on the drivetrain, manufacturer instructions, wheel condition, weight, and which end can be lifted. Give the exact year, make, and model. Ask the operator to explain why the proposed wheel-lift or dolly setup is compatible before loading.

Will a wheel-lift truck fit into an apartment garage?

Measure the posted entrance height and describe turns, ramps, gates, and deck clearance. Ask the operator for the actual truck height and maneuvering needs; do not assume a wheel-lift truck will fit from a typical dimension.

How much does wheel-lift towing cost?

Local wheel-lift tows start at $125 plus disclosed mileage at roughly $3-5 per mile. Short-distance moves under 5 miles are usually just that $125 hook fee with no mileage added.

Can a jump start and a tow happen on the same call?

Ask whether the operator can attempt a manufacturer-compatible jump and tow if needed. Confirm the revised plan and total if the vehicle still cannot run; do not assume both services are included.
