A flatbed tow carries your vehicle on a flat bed instead of pulling it on its own wheels. It is the safest choice for many vehicles, and it is a service Elevated Tow Truck Experts offers in Lake Park and Riviera Beach. Our address is 108 Miller Way, Lake Park, FL 33403.

What flatbed towing is

The truck has a long bed that tilts and slides to the ground. Your vehicle is driven or winched on, strapped down at secure points and carried with all four wheels off the road.

When a flatbed is the better choice

  • All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles.
  • Low or sporty cars that can scrape on a steep ramp.
  • Vehicles with damaged wheels, axles, tires or transmissions.
  • Cars that will not roll or shift into neutral.
  • Valuable, classic or newly purchased vehicles.
  • Vehicles that need to be moved a longer distance without wear on the tires.

What to tell us when you call

  • Year, make and model.
  • Whether the vehicle starts and whether the wheels turn.
  • Whether it is low, lifted or modified.
  • Your location and any access issues such as a gate or tight space.
  • Where the vehicle has to go.

Flatbed vs other tows

A hook-and-chain or wheel-lift tow works for many cars on short trips, but a flatbed puts less stress on the vehicle. If you are not sure which fits, describe the vehicle and we will tell you. See our short-haul towing page for local moves.

Frequently asked questions

Is a flatbed safer than other types of tow?

For many vehicles, yes. All four wheels stay off the ground, which is better for all-wheel-drive, low and damaged vehicles.

Can you flatbed a car that will not roll?

Yes. Tell us when you call and we plan how to winch it on.

Can you flatbed a low car?

Yes. Tell us how low it is so the operator can use a gentle angle.

Do I get a price first?

Yes, we give a free estimate by phone.
