Do you need help when your car gets stuck on a cold day?
Let me show you how tow trucks and strong wreckers pull cars out of snow and ice. Winter makes driving harder. Even grown-ups get stuck! But don’t worry—I know just how to help. My company, CLW GROUP, builds powerful trucks. We help people just like you get back on the road.
Why Is Winter Towing So Hard?
Winter brings lots of big problems for cars and trucks.
- Slippery Surfaces: When roads are covered with snow, slush, and black ice, even the best trucks can slide.
- Reduced Visibility: Blizzards, fog, and short winter days make it hard to see. Drivers and tow trucks need special lights.
- Cold Weather: Cold hurts batteries. Brakes freeze. Car doors get stuck.
- Hard-to-Reach Cars: Cars slide into deep snow banks, ditches, or even off skinny roads.
- Many Calls for Help: After a snow storm, tow truck drivers get lots of calls. Sometimes it takes longer to get help.
- Broken Cars: Frozen brakes, dead cars—these can be hard to move.
Take a look at this chart to see how winter makes things harder:
| Challenge | Winter Problem | Why It's Hard |
|---|---|---|
| Slippery Surfaces | Snow, Ice, Black Ice | Trucks and cars can slide |
| Bad Visibility | Blizzards, Fog, Short Days | Hard to see cars and people |
| Extreme Cold | Dead Batteries, Frozen Brakes | Cars won’t start, hard to move |
| Hard Spots | Cars deep in snow or ditches | Towing trucks need more tools |
| Busy Calls | Many cars stuck after storm | Wait time can be longer |
Meet the Tow Trucks: Wrecker vs Flatbed
Not all tow trucks work the same way in winter.
- Wrecker Tow Truck (Boom Truck):
This strong truck uses its big arm, called a boom, to pull cars out of ditches and snow banks. The winch has lots of power! Wreckers are best for tight roads, icy spots, and when a vehicle is stuck deep. Sometimes, lifting a car on ice is tricky, but with my trucks, it gets done fast!
- Flatbed Tow Truck (Rollback):
Want your whole car off the ground? The flatbed rolls out and lifts the car up. This helps if your car has frozen brakes or won’t roll. It’s safe and does not damage your car. Sometimes, in deep snow, a flatbed can get stuck too. My flatbeds use special tire chains so they can go almost anywhere.
When do you need each?
If your car is just stuck on the side, the wrecker works best. If your car won’t move or the tires are frozen, the flatbed is a good choice.
Must-Have Tools for Winter Towing
To get the job done, tow trucks need the right gear:
- High-Powered Winches: Pull stuck cars out of snow banks and ditches.
- Tire Chains and Tread Tires: Stop the truck from slipping on ice.
- Snatch Blocks, Heavy Straps, Anchors: Help pull cars from tricky spots.
- Salt, Sand, Grit: Sprinkle on ice for extra grip near the truck and car.
- Strong Lights and Safety Clothes: Make every worker easy to see, even at night or in a snow storm.
- Warm Heaters and Survival Kits: Keep drivers warm and help anyone waiting for a tow.
Here’s a simple list for you to remember:
- Winch out service winter
- Tire chains for tow trucks
- Winter emergency kit car
- High-visibility clothing for operator
- Sand and salt for extra grip
