Yes, a tow truck can move a travel trailer, but the setup depends on the trailer. A trailer is bigger and heavier than a car, and it has its own wheels, axles and brakes. That is why a good operator will ask questions before sending a truck. When people need a trailer tow What the operator needs to know Can a trailer be towed with a flat tire? Often yes, but it depends on the damage. A flat tire or a bad axle changes the setup, so say so when you call. Should you empty the trailer first? Take out valuables, medication and anything fragile. Secure doors, cabinets and loose items. If the trailer is at a site, disconnect power and water. Heavy items may need to come out; the operator will tell you. What if the trailer is stuck? Soft ground, a wet lot or a driveway edge can trap a trailer. Do not keep pulling with the tow vehicle, because that can dig it in deeper. See ditch and embankment recovery for how we handle stuck vehicles. Is a trailer tow the same as heavy equipment towing? No. Both need planning, but equipment has different weight and size problems. See heavy equipment towing if you are moving a machine. How to prepare for the call Need a trailer moved in Lake Park or Riviera Beach?

A wet road, a tight turn or a moment of distraction can put a car in a ditch. It happens in Lake Park and Riviera Beach, especially after heavy rain when the ground is soft. Here is what to do, and what to avoid, until help arrives. Step 1: Check that everyone is okay If anyone is hurt, call 911 first. Do not move an injured person unless they are in immediate danger. Step 2: Make yourself safe Step 3: Do not keep trying to drive out Spinning the wheels digs the car in deeper and can damage the tires and the drivetrain. Pushing the car by hand on a slope can be dangerous. Stop and call for help. Step 4: Call a recovery service Tell the operator: Our page on ditch and embankment recovery explains how we handle these jobs. Step 5: Stay safe while you wait What not to do After the recovery Once the car is out, have it checked before you drive. Look for tire damage, leaks, bent parts and warning lights. If the car does not drive right, we can tow it to a shop. Stuck in Lake Park or Riviera Beach? Elevated Tow Truck Experts, 108 Miller Way, Lake Park, FL 33403.

You have a car that will not move and one big question: how much will this cost? The honest answer is that it depends on the job. Here are the things that decide the price of a tow in Lake Park and Riviera Beach, so you know what to expect when you call. 1. Distance A tow to a shop a few miles away is not the same job as a long trip. The farther the vehicle has to go, the more time and fuel the job takes. If you can choose a shop close to you, a short-haul tow is usually the simplest option. 2. Type and size of the vehicle A small car, a pickup, a van, a travel trailer and a piece of equipment each need different gear. Larger and heavier vehicles need more equipment. Tell us the year, make and model when you call. 3. Where the vehicle is A car on a flat parking lot is easy to load. A car in a tight garage, behind a gate, on a steep ramp or on soft ground takes more work. See our page on ditch and embankment recovery for those situations. 4. The condition of the vehicle If the wheels roll and the car is in neutral, loading is simple. If the wheels are locked, a tire is flat or the vehicle is damaged, it takes more equipment and time. Always tell us what is wrong. 5. Access at both ends Low clearance, narrow driveways, closed gates and busy roads change how the truck can work. Tell us about any access issues at the pick-up and the drop-off. 6. Extra services Sometimes a tow comes with something else, such as a recovery from a ditch or a lockout. We explain what is included before we start. How to get an accurate estimate We give a free estimate by phone and explain what is included before the truck is sent. If something changes during the job, we talk to you first. Questions to ask any towing company Need a tow in Lake Park or Riviera Beach?
