Car towing and removal
Car removal businesses like Scrap Car Perth have the necessary equipment and human experience to deal with transporting a scrap or junk car at any size from its current location to the designated facility. Depending on the type of car being removed, they may come with a small or large flatbed tow truck as well as necessary tools to securely and safely transport the vehicle.
Once the tow truck has arrived, the car is loaded onto the truck. If the car is driveable, it is being carefully and slowly driven onto the flatbed. However, it is possible that the car is a wreck and not drivable. In that case, some specialised equipment is used to load the car onto the bed such as specialised loading ramps or attaching a winch to the car and pulling it onto the flatbed. Loading the car onto the flatbed is continued by securing the vehicle. They use chains, straps or wheel nets to tightly fasten and secure on top of the flatbed. It is very important to make sure the car will not shift or move on its own during the transport. In addition, the tow truck driver will do a thorough check to make sure the car is properly secured.
Once the car is safely secured, the truck driver will drive the truck following traffic laws and safety procedures during transportation. When the tow truck arrives at the destination, the procedure is done in reverse, meaning first the straps and chains are opened, and then the car is safely removed from the flatbed and placed on the ground. Tow truck operators have been trained to deal with loading different sorts of vehicles in different situations and locations and their main priority is safety in order to have a successful and safe transportation of the vehicle.
