Transport Trucks Tow trucks/wreckers

Tow trucks are commonly seen around highways, operated by road authority businesses. Tow trucks, also known as wreckers, usually come in different types but usually consist of a single cabin with an open bed and are meant to transport damaged cars to a repair shop or other location. One category of tow trucks is called “slides” or “flatbeds”. These trucks are equipped with a bed which can be moved to ground level. A car can then be driven or pulled onto the bed. In many emergency towing situations, slides or flatbeds are put into practice.

A second category are the wheel lift trucks. These are equipped with a metal yoke which fits under the front of the car or under the rear wheels. Through a hydraulic system, the car can be lifted by only touching the tires. A third category in tow trucks or wreckers are the so-called hook and chain trucks. These are slowly but surely getting out of business. They are designed in a way that risks unintentional damage to the front and back of cars.

Tradus has a variety of used wreckers and tow trucks available. Most commonly from brands like Mercedes-Benz, MAN, Volvo, Iveco, Scania, DAF, and Renault. Other used tow trucks that are offered come from Linde, Still, Balkancar, Mitsubishi, and many other brands.
