Light-Duty Towing

When it comes to light-duty towing services, there are a number of duties that Doug Yates Towing & Recovery can handle. These duties include:

• Removal of abandoned vehicles
• Towing vehicles away from private property
• Recovering vehicles from accidents

Light-duty towing typically involves towing smaller vehicles/trailers or motorcycles. Light-duty tow trucks utilize a cable and winch system and are also commonly used for roadside assistance and routine services, such as engine stalls, flat tires and jump-starts. The wheel system lifts the vehicle from the road, either the front or back wheels, while the two remaining wheels are allowed to stay on the ground as the vehicle is towed and transported.

Recovery Towing

Although we hope it never happens to you, accidents do happen and vehicles find themselves in all kinds of dangerous situations and need our assistance. Recovery towing requires special towing tools and equipment. A vehicle may require recovery towing services if it has found itself in a ditch or ravine, stuck in the mud, underwater or upside down from a rollover accident, among many other instances. Using heavy-duty equipment, such as a crane and mechanical winch, the recovery towing professionals at Doug Yates Towing & Recovery can extract any vehicle and place it safely back on the road, towing it away for repairs as needed.
