Lowered car towing

[speedog]

Here you go for those of you with lowered cars, Seel Towing has a flat deck with a hinged section at the end. Driver said he can load Lamborghinis and and Ferraris with no issues. Their number is 587-889-8697, driver said it's one of two in Canada, not sure if true or not.https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/lhjlidcohyya9lw/20160404_150026.jpg

Still cutting it close, IMO. But having some 2x6's as ramps, I think this would work.

Better than a normal flatbed I suppose but hardly anything special. You still have the cable that is going to dig into your bumper because of the angle. (unless you have tow hooks.)

Drop deck is what you really want.

Are there any drop deck tow trucks in Calgary?

Not that I've seen... They're not really practical, it's bad enough trying to get a regular deck onto the ground in most places (other than highway loads - when do you have 50'+ in front of your vehicle?)

Seel's ain't special - sorry... There's a bunch of decks around with kicked up tail sections, same idea - just fixed so it doesn't break constantly.

I'll stick to these

Dumping air ride, And the occasional use of lumber...

Question for you guys. If I ran a strut tower tow hook is one good or do you need two to pull car up properly?

Car is really awkward with the body kit and exhaust making it hard to anchor onto the stock tow hooks.

Better off calling an operator who knows what he is doing, I've seen some wizards at work... Big body sedans under 2" off the ground (failed air ride) get on normal flat decks with no issues
