TOWING SERVICE

When was the last time your car, truck, or SUV “did you a favor” and broke down during regular business hours? When the unexpected happens, you shouldn’t have to spend time searching for an open towing company. Jot down our phone number and keep it handy, knowing will come get you anytime you need us. It’s that simple.

Towing is coupling two or more objects together so that they may be pulled by a designated power source or sources. The towing source may be a motorized land vehicle, vessel, animal, or human, and the load being anything that can be pulled. These may be joined by a chain, rope, bar, hitch, three-point, fifth wheel, coupling, drawbar, integrated platform, or other means of keeping the objects together while in motion.

Necessarily, government and towing sector standards have been developed for carriers, lighting, and coupling to ensure the safety and interoperability of towing equipment.

Historically, barges were hauled along rivers or canals using tow ropes drawn by men or draught animals walking along towpaths on the banks. Later came chain boats. Today, tug boats are used to maneuver larger vessels and barges, and offshore and salvage tugs are used to tow unpowered or disabled vessels over long distances. Over thousands of years, the maritime field has refined towing to a science.

Aircraft can tow other aircraft as well. Troop and cargo-carrying gliders were towed behind powered aircraft, which remains a popular means of getting modern leisure gliders aloft.
