☑️ What is a towing?
A tow truck is a special vehicle designed to help vehicles that are stuck on the road or in need of repair. A tow truck can move the vehicle to a safe location or a repair shop. Tow trucks consist of two main parts: the front part, which includes the driver's and engine compartment, and the rear part, which includes the vehicle lifting and handling devices. Tugs are classified according to size, power and type of rear devices.

☑️ Types of car towers
☑️ 1. Integrated cache
This type of trailer is suitable for heavy vehicles such as trucks and buses. This device has additional axles and powerful arms that contribute to higher stability and security in moving cars.
☑️ 2. Flatbed Cash
This type of towing is one of the most common and safest towing devices. This device has a flat and long surface on which the car is placed and by pulling it back, it moves the car to the desired destination. This device can carry several cars and even boats.
☑️ 3. Wheel Lift cache
This type of tug is similar to chain tugs that were used in the past. But instead of a chain, a metal rod is used. This bar is placed under the two front or rear wheels of the car and with a hydraulic lift, it separates the car from the ground. This device is relatively cheaper and lighter, but in terms of security, it cannot be compared with other devices.
☑️ 4. Hook cache
This type of tow truck pulls and moves the car behind using a chain. This method was very popular in the past, but later it was found that it causes damage to the car's bumper and drivetrain. Therefore, it is only suitable for used and unused cars.
☑️ The benefits of using a tow
1. High security: the tow truck makes the damaged car quickly leave the road and move it to the right place. This prevents the possibility of more accidents, damage to the car, or theft of its parts.
2. Cost savings: Towing may be less expensive than repairing the car on site. Some breakdowns require special equipment and parts that are not available locally. With a tow truck, the car will be transported to a suitable repair shop and repaired at a reasonable cost.
3. Speed and convenience: the tow truck makes the driver not worry about how to repair the car or where to take it. By contacting the tow truck, the driver can easily send the car to the desired destination and use additional services such as public transportation, taxi, or car rental.
☑️ Differentan and boxing difference
Towing and towing are two different methods of transporting damaged or disabled vehicles. Their main difference is in the way of connecting and moving the car. In the towing method, the damaged vehicle is placed on a platform or a rotating truck and transported to the destination. In this method, the damaged vehicle does not have physical contact with the towing vehicle and only sits on it. This method is more suitable for automatic, heavy and luxury cars. In the towing method, the damaged vehicle is connected to the towing vehicle using a hook, tow wire or chain and is pulled behind it. In this method, the damaged vehicle is in physical contact with the towing vehicle and must be removed. This method is more suitable for gear, light and old cars.
