Choose the recovery system after confirming the disabled vehicle, incident condition, loading method, access space, towing limits and destination rules. Deck, underlift, boom and crane arrangements serve different recovery tasks.
| Configuration | Recovery method | Vehicle or incident | Route fit | Main advantage | Not suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flatbed Wrecker | Winch loads the vehicle onto a tilting or sliding deck | Disabled passenger and light commercial vehicles | Urban, highway and planned vehicle transport | Carries the recovered vehicle clear of the road | Heavy recovery or incidents needing a rotating boom |
| Integrated Wrecker | Combined boom and underlift recover and tow from one chassis | Heavy trucks, buses or commercial vehicles within the confirmed rating | Highway, depot and fleet recovery routes | Combines lifting, pulling and towing functions | Sites without the required setup space or confirmed axle loading |
| Pickup Tow Truck | Compact towing equipment on a pickup-based chassis | Passenger vehicles and light roadside assistance work | Tight urban streets, parking areas and local routes | Compact access and lower operating footprint | Heavy commercial vehicles or complex accident recovery |
| Rotator Wrecker | Rotating recovery boom works with stabilizers and rigging | Overturned, obstructed or heavy accident-damaged vehicles | Complex roadside recovery with controlled setup space | Reaches and repositions loads around obstacles | Routine light towing or unstable sites without safe outrigger support |
| Flatbed Wrecker with Crane | Deck transport combined with a truck-mounted material crane | Damaged vehicles, equipment or components requiring a lift | Industrial sites, workshops and mixed recovery work | Lifts selected loads before carrying them on the deck | Personnel lifting or loads outside the confirmed crane chart |
