Flatbed (Rollback or Slide)—The entire back of the truck is fitted with a bed that can be hydraulically inclined and moved
to ground level, allowing the customer's vehicle to be placed on it under its own power or pulled by a winch.
Hook and Chain (Sling or Belt Lift)—Chains are looped around the vehicle frame or axle, which is drawn aloft by a
boom winch to rest against a pair of heavy rubberized mats so the customer's vehicle can be towed on its other axle.
Wheel-Lift (Axle Cradling)—A large metal yoke is fitted under the front or rear wheels to cradle them, drawing the front
or rear end of the vehicle clear of the ground by a pneumatic or hydraulic hoist so it can be towed. This apparatus gener-
ally picks up the drive wheels of the vehicle (i.e. the front wheels if it is front wheel drive, the rear wheels if it is rear wheel
drive) touching only the tires.
Integrated (Snatcher or Repo Truck)—Boom and wheel-lift integrated into one unit. Used predominantly to repossess
vehicles or move illegally parked vehicles. Most have controls for the apparatus inside the cab of the tow truck to make
quick pickup possible without the inconvenience of exiting the truck to hook up the vehicle.
