Emergency Towing

There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle.

Flat-bed Equipment  - The operator loads the vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the best way of transporting the vehicle. 

To accommodate flat-bed equipment, the vehicle is equipped with towing hook front tie down hook slots (A), and rear tie down hook slots (B).

The towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the truck, and the tie down hook slots can be used to secure the vehicle to the truck.
