Flatbed vs. Wheel-Lift Towing: Which Is Better?

The right method depends on the vehicle, damage, drivetrain, clearance, loading area, and destination.

How a flatbed works

A flatbed carries the vehicle on a level platform. It may be considered for damaged vehicles, AWD or 4WD vehicles, specialty cars, motorcycles, low-clearance vehicles, or longer transport.

How a wheel-lift works

A wheel-lift raises one end of a vehicle while the other remains on the road. It may suit some ordinary towing situations, but the vehicle’s drivetrain and condition matter.

What to tell Markaa Towing

Share the vehicle model, drivetrain, condition, whether it rolls and steers, clearance, and destination. Dispatch can confirm the appropriate equipment in Minneapolis or the Twin Cities metro. See flatbed towing details.
