Towing a Vehicle Steps

Important Preparation for Towing a Vehicle
For a successful towing operation, there has to be adequate planning to ensure that everything is in place. It will also be important to prepare for any eventualities and to have a backup plan before getting on a towing mission. These preparations will include:
  • Check to ensure that the weather will be conducive for the towing; you should know how the weather will be in the next 48 hours before you get into the towing process.
  • Get to know the exact size of the vehicle being towed and also get to know if there are any limitations in the towing process.
  • Ensure that the towing equipment will be able to handle the weight of the vehicle being towed. Do not go for a towing mission if you do not have the right equipment as this will taint your professional image.
  • Consider the route that will be taken when towing the vehicle; factors such as the time when the towing is taking place which could be at night or during the day.
You should also check if you will be going through a road that has heavy traffic, or one that will cause you to pass under a bridge, tight bends, or even a river berth.
  • Ensure that the vehicle that will be used for the towing has enough fuel and water; you should also ensure that you have spare wheels on board before embarking on the towing mission.
  • Ensure that all the towing equipment are in good condition and also get emergency plans in case anything goes wrong.
Besides knowing the weight of the vehicle being towed, you should also know its height. This will help you to make arrangements on the best route to follow as some of the roads have a limit of the height that can pass through it. You would not want to go a certain route only to get stuck because the vehicle exceeds the maximum height and cannot pass through.
Without adequate preparations, the towing process may mess up the image of your company. If the vehicle exceeds the weight of the towing vehicle that can be used for the towing, do not take risks. Learn to be professional and refer what you cannot hand to someone who can as you prepare to get equipped so that you will be in a position to handle it in the future.
