Tow truck with a sliding platform is used to transport vehicles in case of breakdown, accident or in case of improper parking.
Features of the device and principle of operation
The design of a tow truck with a broken sliding platform includes the following elements and mechanisms:
- hydraulic device;
- winch;
- fasteners;
- wheel stops;
- driver's cab;
- straps required for fixing vehicle.
Also, the tow truck device consists of:
- Front guard, which protects the driver's cab in case of emergency displacement of the evacuated vehicle forward.
- Perforated decking, which provides a high level of platform strength, thereby increasing its service life.
- The slotted holes are used to fix the wheel stops.
- A block that allows you to change the direction of the cable or double the traction force.
- Ramps, which are necessary for the transportation of goods weighing more than 4,500 kg.
- Rear lights, which are located in metal boxes.
- Electrical equipment, which consists of headlights, interior lighting systems and stop signals.
During the evacuation, the vehicle drives onto the cargo platform on its own, moving along the retractable ramps, which were previously securely fixed. If independent movement of the car is impossible, then it is loaded onto a tow truck using an installed winch. After that, the transport is fixed with special anti-roll mechanisms.
Main types
The main types of tow trucks:
- tow truck with a retractable platform;
- with a winch;
- with hydraulic manipulator;
- with straight platform and crane;
- with a broken platform;
- with partial loading;
- double decker.
The modification with a winch is used for transporting vehicles. A special winch is used to drive onto the cargo platform. Among the advantages of this equipment is the possibility of lateral movement.
The hydraulic manipulator model consists of a crane and a loading platform, which are combined into one device. It is used to solve problems of transporting vehicles in an emergency condition.
The straight platform tow truck is capable of carrying out evacuation work. It is equipped with a crossbar to keep the vehicles in a horizontal position.
See " Specifications tow truck installed on the GAZelle chassis
The equipment with a sloping platform is equipped with retractable ramps and an electric type winch. Such a tow truck has a double bend. The model is equipped with a cross arm and consumes the least fuel fluid.
Partial loading modification is used to move trailers, heavy buses. The transport only partially raises the front or rear axle transported vehicle to the platform.
The design of the double-deck models allows you to transport 2 vehicles at the same time. A support frame is installed here, which increases the level of stability of recovery vehicles during transportation.

A tow truck today is not uncommon on the streets of the city and has firmly and forever entered our everyday life. In most cases, this is the only way to get to the service. Unlike overseas exotics, where this type of service has been mastered since the beginning of the last century, our market is apparently saturated with primitive broken platforms installed on Gazelles, on which to take away a decent car you must have extraordinary abilities and do not care. Tow trucks with a manipulator crane (KMU) the most versatile, but expensive.
- the method of partial loading in our country is not inapplicable to the evacuation of four-wheel drive vehicles due to the real absence of normal roads. The most convenient and a budget option- this is sliding platforms, better turntables, different options execution. In this case, a small angle of arrival makes it easy to load the vast majority of cars, so the market for such cars is likely to develop further.
When you visit us, determine the future working conditions of the ordered tow truck, taking into account the abundance of options, this will save your money.
Manufacturing work NS an evacuator platform, installation of a CMU, installation of an additional hydraulic line (if it is not there), etc. costs from 700 thousand rubles.
The cost without a cable CMU depends on your preferences, the choice in the section loader cranes, a fully hydraulic recovery CMU, for example, HYVA HA series, with a loading moment ranging from 9 to 16 tm, is suitable for these purposes. The rotator, traverse, wheel grips and slings are also purchased.
Lift-and-slide tow truck- the most common type of tow trucks used in urban environments for transportation faulty cars... Tow trucks are equipped with a WERKER platform with a lifting capacity up to 6 tons and length up to 6 meters... Our company carries out installation of evacuation platforms on any type of chassis, both Russian and foreign.
When working on a project of an evacuation platform of our own production, we tried to take into account and correct the shortcomings of the lifting-sliding platforms of competing manufacturers, which we discovered during the repair and maintenance this technique.
Design features of WERKER lift-and-slide platforms:
|
WERKER platforms use 4 mm metal instead of 3 mm as in competitors, which improves reliability |
|
 |
The increased diameter of the hydraulic cylinder rod - 65 mm allows to increase the lifespan of the lifting mechanism |
 |
Reinforced beam and outriggers increase platform stability during operation |
 |
Powerful Come-UP winch allows for high speed loading of the vehicle onto the platform |
Each released tow truck undergoes control dynamic and static tests, close to the conditions of real operation.
WERKER evacuation platforms are subject to guarantee 1 year from the manufacturer.
Each tow truck has all the necessary package of documents, including an operation manual.

Professional conversion into a tow truck trucks
A tow truck is a type of special equipment that is designed to transport or tow various vehicles in the event of their failure or violation of the rules. road traffic...

Broken platforms and other devices for the manufacture of tow trucks
This special transport consists of two main parts: a chassis with a loading platform and a loading mechanism, which can be a crane-manipulator or a winch (electric or hydraulic). In principle, a tow truck can be made from any suitable truck. It is the conversion into a truck tow truck that is one of the main activities of the Spetsservice company.
Most often, our specialists convert trucks into winch tow trucks, as they are more in demand than tow trucks with loader cranes. However, the installation of a cargo winch is not limited to the installation - it is also necessary to re-equip the loading place, which is usually used for such tow trucks a broken platform.
It is a stationary cargo platform, the deck of which has one or more breaks. Together with special ramps, this design greatly simplifies the loading of the evacuated vehicle, especially if it has a low stance.
If the machine is able to move, then it drives into this platform under its own power, if not, it is pulled there using the installed winch. On the platform itself, the car can be fastened with special belts or fixed with wheel stops. Entry ramps are most often made removable and stored in special niches, without protruding beyond the platform dimensions.
Features of the production of tow trucks
The manufacture of this special equipment by alteration of trucks includes several main stages. First, you need to obtain permission from the traffic police to re-equip the vehicle. Only after that our specialists get down to business.
_____________________________________________________________
For each converted truck, a broken platform (frame, flooring, wheel tracks, retractable ramps) is made and adjusted individually, as agreed with the customer. In the production of the platform, only metal is used, the quality of which is confirmed by appropriate certificates.
The complex of works also includes preparation of a place for a winch, its installation, installation of all required side lights and carrying out the necessary painting works... As a rule, we install on tow trucks electric winches, which are more economical in operation, but if necessary, a hydraulic winch can be mounted on the chassis.

Upon completion of the conversion into a tow truck, the client receives in his hands a full set of documents necessary for registering the vehicle with the traffic police.
