Flatbed Towing vs. Traditional Tow Trucks
Flatbed towing isn’t just a modern convenience—it’s the smarter, safer choice for many vehicles. While traditional tow trucks lift only one end of your car, flatbed towing lifts the entire vehicle onto a secure platform, eliminating the risks of dragging, wear, and roadside damage.
Why Flatbed Wins Every Time:
🚫 Prevents tire, drivetrain, and suspension damageTraditional tow trucks can stress key vehicle components, especially on long or bumpy trips. Flatbed towing keeps all four wheels off the ground, avoiding unnecessary strain or wear.
🚗 Ideal for AWD, 4x4, and luxury vehiclesAll-wheel-drive and performance cars require special handling. Flatbeds protect these sensitive drivetrains from damage that can result from improper towing methods.
🏍️ Safer for motorcycles and low-clearance vehiclesMotorcycles, lowered cars, or vehicles with custom kits are vulnerable to scraping and imbalance on traditional tows. Flatbeds provide stable, level support that eliminates these risks.
📍 Better for long-distance and out-of-province tripsWhether you're relocating or transporting a vehicle over a long haul, flatbed towing offers better stability, safety, and peace of mind—especially when driving conditions vary.
At Trigger Towing, we recommend flatbed towing for anyone who wants maximum protection and zero guesswork. It’s not just a tow—it’s the safest ride your vehicle can get.

Frequently Asked Questions - Flatbed Towing in Calgary
Why use a flatbed tow truck?
A flatbed tow truck is preferred for its ability to transport vehicles safely by keeping them completely off the ground, reducing the risk of damage to tires, suspension, and transmission. It's versatile enough to tow a wide range of vehicles, including those with low clearance, luxury models, and those involved in accidents. Additionally, flatbed tow trucks are ideal for long-distance towing and ensure easy loading and unloading, making them a reliable choice for preserving the condition of the towed vehicle.
What is the towing capacity of a flatbed?
The towing capacity of a flatbed tow truck typically ranges from 7,000 to 15,000 pounds, depending on the specific model and configuration. Heavy-duty flatbed trucks can handle even greater weights, with some models capable of towing up to 40,000 pounds or more. The exact capacity depends on factors such as the truck's engine, chassis strength, and the type of towing equipment used.
What does flat bed towing mean?
Flatbed towing involves transporting a vehicle on the flatbed of a tow truck, where the entire vehicle is lifted off the ground and secured on the flat surface. This method of towing is considered one of the safest because it keeps the vehicle stationary and prevents any part of it from touching the road during transport, minimizing the risk of damage. Flatbed towing is commonly used for long-distance towing, vehicles with low clearance, luxury cars, and those that are heavily damaged or non-operational.
Can a locked vehicle be towed with a flatbed tow truck in Airdrie?
Yes, a locked vehicle can be towed with a flatbed tow truck in Airdrie. Towing companies like Trigger Towing and Recovery Ltd have the necessary equipment and expertise to safely load and secure a locked vehicle onto a flatbed. The process involves carefully lifting the vehicle onto the flatbed without the need to access the interior, ensuring that the vehicle remains secure and undamaged during the towing process.
How do you load a flatbed tow truck?
Loading a flatbed tow truck involves positioning the truck on a level surface, tilting the flatbed to create a ramp, and attaching a winch cable to the vehicle if it's not drivable. The winch is then used to pull the vehicle onto the flatbed, ensuring it's centered and aligned. Once on the bed, the vehicle is secured using straps or chains at designated tie-down points. The flatbed is then lowered to its horizontal position, and all securing points are double-checked before transporting the vehicle safely.
