Vehicle towing is the process of pulling a vehicle that is unable to move on its own, often due to mechanical failure or an accident. Towing is typically performed using a specialized vehicle, known as a tow truck, which is equipped with tools and equipment to safely transport the disabled vehicle to a repair shop or another location. There are different methods of towing, including flatbed towing, where the entire vehicle is loaded onto a flat platform, and wheel-lift towing, which lifts the front or rear wheels off the ground. Proper towing techniques are essential to prevent damage to both the towed vehicle and the towing vehicle.
