Exploring the Heavy Metal Towing and Recovery Fleet: A Guide to Different Types of Tow Trucks

At Heavy Metal Towing and Recovery, based in Delaware, Ohio, we take pride in our diverse fleet of tow trucks, each designed to handle a variety of towing and recovery needs with precision and efficiency. In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at the different types of tow trucks in our arsenal, showcasing their unique features and capabilities.


Flatbed Tow Trucks: Flatbed tow trucks, also known as rollback trucks, are perhaps the most versatile vehicles in our fleet. Featuring a flat, hydraulically-operated bed that can be tilted and lowered to the ground, flatbed trucks provide a safe and secure platform for transporting vehicles of all shapes and sizes. From cars and motorcycles to SUVs and small trucks, flatbed tow trucks offer ease of loading and unloading, making them an ideal choice for both short and long-distance towing.








Wheel Lift Tow Trucks: Wheel lift tow trucks are another common sight in our fleet, offering a

more compact and agile towing solution compared to flatbed trucks. These trucks feature a hydraulic lifting mechanism that hoists the front or rear wheels of the towed vehicle off the ground, allowing it to be towed with the remaining wheels rolling on the road. Wheel lift tow trucks are particularly well-suited for towing vehicles parked in tight spaces or those with rear-wheel or front-wheel drive configurations.



Integrated Tow Trucks: Integrated tow trucks, also known as wrecker tow trucks, combine the features of a flatbed truck and a wheel lift truck into a single, multifunctional vehicle. With their versatile design, integrated tow trucks offer the flexibility to handle a wide range of towing and recovery scenarios, from roadside assistance to accident recovery. Equipped with hydraulic booms, winches, and adjustable towing arms, these trucks can adapt to the specific needs of each towing situation, providing efficient and reliable service.



At Heavy Metal Towing and Recovery in Delaware, Ohio, our fleet of tow trucks is equipped to handle any towing or recovery challenge that comes our way. Whether you need a flatbed truck for transporting your classic car, or a wheel lift truck for towing your stranded vehicle from a tight spot, you can count on us to provide professional, reliable service. With our diverse array of tow trucks and experienced team of operators, we're here to help you get back on the road with minimal hassle and downtime.
