Types of Towing

Hook and Chain Towing (Rope Towing)

This form of towing is not permitted in South Africa and is not a reliable form in which to professionally tow vehicles without causing damage to the vehicle. Due to the likelihood of damage this type of towing is currently reserved for the recovery of written-off or severely damaged vehicles in usually inaccessible areas, usually with a roll-back tow truck on standby to pick up the vehicle once it has been recovered. In this method a chain or rope is secured around the vehicle's undercarriage or axel.

Axle Cradle Towing (Sling Towing)

This form of towing uses a metal and rubber yoke which is placed underneath the front or rear carriage of the vehicle, it is then secured to the wheels of the vehicle. This form of towing lifts one side of the vehicle (front or rear) and coupled with the yoke, reduces the chance of a towed vehicle being damaged compared to the rough approach of hook and chain towing used for recovery.

Flat-bed Towing (Roll-back)

Truck and/or Trailer rollback systems The roll-back system is mounted in two different forms, namely onto trucks and onto trailers. This system employs the use of a platform surface structure (Metal) which is mounted onto either a trailer base or onto the back-end of a truck from which hydraulic arms lower the flatbed creating a ramp from which an accompanying winch either pull the vehicle onto the platform or alternatively the vehicle is driven onto the platform.

The vehicle is secures to the platform which is them lifted back into its transport position on the back of the truck or trailer. This is the safest and most professional form of towing currently being utilised within the market and offers the client the least likelihood of vehicle damage whilst the vehicle is being towed.

Implementation

Moot Towing's Tow Type Usage Moot Towing utilises all three of these different forms of towing, each is used whilst encountering different situations, we utilise these three forms as follows; Roll-back Towing is Moot Towing's first and foremost form of towing in all circumstances where the rollback is able to pick up the vehicle safely. This is also the main form from which all vehicles are mainly transported between it location and destination.

Hook and Chain towing is used during a vehicle recovery. When a client's vehicle has been in an accident and has rolled off of the road into an inaccessible area either covered in water or marsh land where tow truck vehicles are unable to safely recover the vehicle. A chain and hook are used to recover the wrecked vehicle from a distance.

Axel Cradle Towing is used when vehicles cannot be picked up by one of our roll-back tow trucks; this problem is usually experienced when a client’s vehicle is parked in an underground basement or with a low lying structure above the vehicle where the vehicle cannot be raised onto a higher roll-back. The vehicle is then carefully mounted onto a cradle tow truck and brought out into an accessible area where it can be lifted by a roll-back tow truck and transported to its destination.
