From Show Cars to Motorcycles: Flatbeds in Focus

The MVPs of Towing

We’ve seen just about every type of towing scenario out there, and one thing’s clear: not all tows are created equal. And neither are tow trucks. Some situations call for a little more finesse, a little more protection, and a whole lot more flexibility. Fremont flatbed towing is more than just a service—it’s a solution for a wide variety of transport needs, from delicate show cars to motorcycles and more.

Let’s talk about why flatbed towing is one of the most versatile and valuable tools in our lineup.

What Exactly Is Flatbed Towing?

Flatbed towing uses a truck with a long, flat platform at the back that tilts and lowers to the ground. The vehicle or item being towed is either driven or winched up onto the platform, then secured for the ride. This method keeps all four wheels off the ground, which is a major benefit when vehicle condition or clearance is a concern.

We love using flatbeds because of the safety and security they offer—not just for the cargo, but for everyone else on the road.

When Flatbed Towing Makes the Most Sense

There are times when a traditional wheel-lift tow truck just won’t cut it. Here are the situations where Fremont flatbed towing really shines:

  • Accidents: Vehicles that have been damaged, especially those with compromised suspensions or axles, are best handled with a flatbed. Dragging them might cause further damage.
  • Car relocations: Moving a vehicle long distances? Flatbeds keep the mileage off the odometer and the wear off the tires.
  • Car shows: We’ve helped folks transport vintage or custom cars to events without a scratch. A flatbed keeps everything pristine.
  • Luxury and exotic cars: When clearance is low, the risk of scraping the front or rear ends is high. A flatbed avoids all that.
  • Motorcycles: Bikes don’t sit well on a wheel-lift. On a flatbed, they can be properly secured and protected from tipping or dragging.
  • Non-running vehicles: If it won’t roll or start, a flatbed is often the only way to move it.
  • Heavy equipment or specialty items: We’ve hauled more than just cars—flatbeds are ideal for machinery, small boats, and other bulky loads.
