Have you ever seen a big truck helping a car stuck on the highway? That is a tow truck or wrecker. These trucks are the unsung heroes of the road. They help people every day who have car trouble.
Meet The Tow Truck Heroes
Let me tell you a story. One day, a little car had a flat tire on a busy bridge. The driver was scared. Cars zoomed past so fast! A tow truck came and stopped. The driver wore a bright safety vest and put up orange traffic cones. Soon, the car was safe on the shoulder of the road. The tow truck helped take the car to an auto repair shop. The driver was very happy and safe again.
Tow trucks et wreckers do this every day. They come to your rescue when there is a breakdown or accident. They work on highways, city streets, and even in the rain or snow.
What Types of Tow Trucks Are There?
There is more than one kind of tow truck. At CLW GROUP, we make many types! See the table below for the main kinds you may see:
| Type | Ce qu'il fait |
|---|---|
| Flatbed Tow Truck | Moves cars safely by lifting them onto a flat platform |
| Hook and Chain Wrecker | Uses chains to pull older or broken cars (not for new cars) |
| Integrated Tow Truck | Grabs cars fast with a strong arm for easy towing |
| Rotator Tow Truck | Lifts big trucks and heavy things, even from tricky spots |
| Light Duty | For small cars and motorcycles |
| Medium/Heavy Duty | For big trucks, RVs, and buses |
Each tow truck has a job. Some pull cars out of ditches (winching). Some can pick up trucks after a crash. CLW GROUP builds flatbeds, integrated wreckers, and rotator trucks for every use.

Being a tow truck driver or wrecker is not easy. Our drivers are essential workers. Here are some of the dangers they face:
- Standing next to fast cars on highways (primary risk)

It is a hard job. Each year, many tow truck drivers are hurt, and some even lose their lives. They work long hours and need to know safety rules, like using a move over law et emergency lights.
