Ram 4500 Wrecker Tow Truck

Municipalities and businesses use wrecker tow trucks to haul classic, damaged, wrecked, illegally parked, repossessed, and non-running cars. They can also haul trucks, semitrucks, buses, RVs, and other vehicles, provided they have the necessary towing capacity. They’re also called “wreckers” or “recovery trucks” and can tow thousands of pounds.

Compared to a rollback tow truck or flatbed, both of which can carry vehicles on their empty beds, a wrecker tows vehicles using various combinations of hydraulic and pneumatic controls, an adjustable boom, winches, hooks and chains, wheel-lifts, slings, belts, rubber straps, tow dollies, hoists, spreader bars, and other components.

Modern wreckers generally forgo hooks and chains in favor of using a wheel lift, under lift, or chassis lift approach, which offers less potential for scratches, dents, and other damage to the towed vehicle while in transit. Various wrecker tow truck features may include outriggers to enhance the lifting capacity and stability, sleeper compartments in heavy-duty models for cross-country hauls, remote control abilities, onboard scale systems, and rear cameras.
