Wreckers can be divided into three types: one-to-two flatbed tow trucks, towing-coupled tow trucks, and towing-separated tow trucks. Today, let’s talk about the operation method of a one-to-two flatbed tow truck
Drive the tow truck to the appropriate position of the transported vehicle. The specific steps are as follows:
1. First, disengage the winch clutch, pull out the steel cable to the front of the transported vehicle, and hook the “J” line hook to the towing hook ring at the lower part of the towed end of the transported vehicle. Then engage the clutch of the winch. Note that the number of steel cable turns left when pulling out the steel cable must not be less than 5 turns.
2. The transported vehicle must be in neutral gear and the parking brake of the transported vehicle must be released.
3. Control the winch joystick to pull the car onto the platform, and control the j-shaped hook on the steel cable to be more than 0.4m away from the winch. When the winch is under load, do not disengage the manual control clutch of the winch, which will damage the winch. Note: When using a chain hook to tow the accident vehicle with a winch, be very careful not to damage the towed part of a car with a lower chassis to avoid unnecessary trouble.
4. After the loaded vehicle has been towed to its place, tie the rear tire with a safety strap and tighten the loaded car diagonally to the rear sides and fix it on the flat pull rings on both sides. Note: If the safety pull ring is broken, the safety strap should be wrapped around the solid parts of the car. If the safety strap cannot be locked manually, the winch joystick can be controlled to operate the winch to move the loaded vehicle forward a little to properly tighten the safety chain.
5. For flatbed tow trucks, when using straps to fix the faulty vehicle on the flatbed, all four straps must be locked on the wheels or body.
6. The strap ratchet must be in a closed state when locked.
Note: Nylon straps will become loose if tightened for a long time. The tightening of the straps should be checked regularly during operation, especially in bad road conditions or when there are many sudden brakes. The tightening should be checked in time to avoid accidents.

7. Control the platform tilt joystick to raise the tail of the platform 0.15m above the ground.
8. Control the platform tilt joystick to move the platform forward to about 0.6m from the front end of the ***, and control the platform tilt joystick to return the platform to a horizontal position.
9. Control the platform sliding joystick to move the platform forward to the front end of the ***.
10. In order to prevent the damage to the winch caused by the tension of the steel cable due to vibration during the following driving, the other two safety chains must be used to fix the front end of the car according to the above method and tighten as much as possible. Loading positioning and tightening.
11. Put the loaded car in first gear and pull the handbrake.
12. Check whether all safety chains or chain belts and connections are secure and tightened.
13. After completing the above steps, proceed with the subsequent work procedures. Step on the clutch of the road tow truck, disengage the power take-off, and the platform loading operation is completed.
