When a vehicle needs winch towing
A winch is used when a vehicle cannot reach the loading position under its own power or must be recovered from a difficult angle. Common cases include locked wheels, accident damage, sand, a roadside shoulder, a ramp or a restricted parking area. Call 96665594 and describe the surface, slope, access and vehicle condition.
Winch towing is not the same as ordinary transport
Recovery begins by assessing the vehicle weight, safe attachment points, distance to a stable loading area and nearby obstacles. The car must be moved without placing people in the pull line or attaching equipment to unsuitable suspension or body parts. Once recovered, it can be loaded for transport using the method appropriate to its condition.
Details to send before dispatch
- A live location and wide photos of the vehicle and access route.
- The make, model and approximate vehicle weight.
- Whether the wheels turn and whether steering and brakes work.
- The surface type, slope, clearance height and any visible damage.
Safe winch recovery
Keep people away from cables, straps and the path of the vehicle. Do not attempt to push or pull while recovery equipment is under load. The attachment and recovery direction must be selected for the individual situation.
