Flatbed Towing

About this service

Looking for a flatbed tow in the Upstate of South Carolina? Woodruff Towing & Roadside Assistance carries all-wheel-drive cars, lowered vehicles, motorcycles and anything with drivetrain or suspension damage on a hydraulic flatbed, so the wheels never touch the road. We serve Woodruff and the towns within about 25 miles, and we quote the price before dispatch. Call (864) 756-8255, any hour.

Some vehicles should never be towed with the wheels on the ground, including all-wheel-drive cars, lowered vehicles, motorcycles, and anything with existing drivetrain or suspension damage. Our flatbed towing service carries your vehicle fully off the road on a hydraulic flatbed, which means zero added wear on your tires, transmission, or undercarriage during the tow.

A flatbed is a full steel deck that tilts down to the ground and winches the vehicle up under its own power or on a cable, instead of lifting just two wheels like a standard tow truck. All four wheels come off the road, so nothing drags or keeps turning during the trip, which is exactly why it's the right call for AWD and four-wheel-drive vehicles. A wheel-lift tow leaves two wheels spinning against a drivetrain that expects all four to turn together, and that mismatch is what causes damage.

Lowered cars and anything with very little ground clearance need the ramp angle handled carefully, not just the loading itself. Our operators ease the deck down to its shallowest angle and use rubber ramps or blocks under the front lip and exhaust tip so nothing scrapes or cracks going up. Once the vehicle is on the deck, it gets secured with wheel straps over all four tires rather than a single hook on the frame or suspension, checked twice before the truck moves.

Motorcycles get their own setup. A front wheel chock holds the bike upright while separate tie-downs at the handlebars and rear frame keep it from shifting, nothing like the strap pattern used on a car. For a household dealing with multiple AWD or lowered vehicles at once, keep in mind a flatbed carries one vehicle per trip, so a second tow needs to be arranged separately rather than assumed to ride along.
