Info

Are you curious to know about a tow truck and a wrecker? If so, you have come to the right place.

Well, it is understood you do not know a lot of things about a tow truck in Windsor as you do not belong to this industry. Also, your knowledge of different types of tow trucks is not as good as someone belonging to the industry itself. For instance, you might not have an idea of what is the basic difference between a tow truck in Windsor and a wrecker.

Once you know the differences, you will know at least who to call for assistance.

We have observed that people use the names tow truck and wrecker interchangeably. However, there is a difference between the two, and it is also important to know what do you want when you are calling a towing company for rescue.

What is a wrecker?

A wrecker is a type of tow truck with a large boom and additional cable winch, that allow it to recover vehicles from different locations. For instance, a wrecker may be used to flip a car or truck that has rolled over, pull a vehicle from a precarious position off the road, or separate multiple vehicles that has been squashed together.

Wreckers are used when there is a recovery action to be performed rather than a straightforward tow. They are mostly used when heavy-duty towing is required in order to two big vehicles like a bus or it could be any commercial vehicle.

Tow trucks may also have a winch and boom, but they are typically made of a flatbed setup making it quick and easy to pick up a vehicle. So, if you need to just pick up your car and it is not trapped into something off the road or roller over, it is likely that a flatbed tow truck is what is going to show up to assist you.

When you call towing companies, they will have a fleet of vehicles predominantly flatbed tow trucks as they are incredibly versatile. Nevertheless, they also have a wrecker standing by for serious recoveries and accidents. Thus, when you are calling for a tow truck, you should offer as much information as you can to the dispatch offer as possible. The more information you give, the better it would be for the office to send the right vehicle for your help. And the earlier you call, the faster the vehicle will reach you.

The last thing you want is to receive a wrong type of vehicle to show up. So, be smart and careful when ordering a tow truck in Windsor
