With the rapid development of the national economy and the increasingly advanced transportation infrastructure, the number of cars has been increasing year by year. When people travel, it is inevitable to encounter traffic accidents or vehicle breakdowns, at which point tow trucks come in handy. Tow trucks are specialized vehicles that can not only quickly and safely clear accident vehicles and illegal vehicles from the highway to ensure smooth traffic, but also be used for emergency rescue.

Wrecker trucks can be divided into four major categories based on their structural forms: pickup wrecker trucks, flatbed wrecker trucks, tow-and-lift integrated wrecker trucks, and tow-and-lift separated wrecker trucks

Chassis configuration: wheelbase 5000, D530VR flat-top cab, Cummins 210/230 horsepower engine, Fast eight-speed gearbox 8JS85E-C, front and rear axles 4.5/9T, tires 10.00R20, 18PR final drive ratio 4.33, leaf spring leaf count 8/10+8, main beam 280×80×[7+4], steel 280L fuel tank, original air conditioning, airbag seat, central door lock. (Specific chassis configuration is subject to actual configuration)

Upper unit configuration: 8-ton upper unit, 8-ton winch, 8-ton three-section split rear jib, tail hydraulic turnover plate, sinking process, imported valve, 6mm checkered plate, plate length about 6.2 meters, main plate about 5 meters, tail hydraulic turnover plate about 1.2 meters, plate width 2.55 meters. 2 sets of fixed forks, 1 set of fork support, 6 straps, additional air pipe connector, yellow warning lights, chassis certificate, complete vehicle certificate, user manual, maintenance manual. Equipped with XCMG 6.3-ton 4-section straight-arm crane or XCMG 8-ton 4-section straight-arm crane (optional 16-thick manganese plate frame, crane beam binding cost is extra)

Technical parameters: The height of the board from the ground is about 1.25 meters, the maximum load capacity of the 8-ton upper structure is about 10 tons, the curb weight is 12,750 kg or 13,300 kg, and the total weight is 18,000 kg.

Main functions of a wrecker truck
1.Lifting function: The lifting function is the main function of a tow truck. It involves using the extension and lifting actions of the lifting arm to lift the damaged vehicle from the front or rear, and then tow the entire vehicle away from the scene.
2.Lifting function: Tow-and-lift type wreckers are generally equipped with a variable-range lifting arm, which allows for lifting damaged vehicles from one end (or side) or the entire vehicle, aligning it for easier towing. Heavy-duty wreckers can also use the telescoping and variable-range of the lifting arm to tow or lift the accident vehicle from the roadbed and nearby areas onto the road surface for alignment.
3.Towing function: The recovery vehicle is equipped with multiple winches, which, in conjunction with the main crane jib and fixed anchor points (fixed pulleys) on site, can be used to right overturned vehicles and pull vehicles that have fallen into deep ditches.
4.Traction function: The recovery vehicle can tow away damaged vehicles that are lifted at one end. In addition, it can also use a towbar to tow away accident vehicles with undamaged axles.
5.Backloading function: The flatbed wrecker can tow the accident vehicle onto the flatbed, fix it with soft contact, and implement non-destructive transportation, which is especially suitable for passenger cars.
6.Warning and lighting functions: The recovery vehicle is equipped with large warning lights and alarms, providing clear signs during recovery operations. It also features a rescue auxiliary lighting function for use during nighttime operations.
