What is Wheel Lift Towing?
Wheel lift towing is a modern, safe vehicle recovery method that uses a hydraulic lift system to securely cradle your vehicle’s wheels in a protective metal yoke. Unlike older hook-and-chain methods that can damage your vehicle, our advanced wheel lift systems distribute weight evenly and eliminate the risk of frame damage, making it the preferred choice for most passenger vehicles in East Houston.
Safe & Secure
Our hydraulic wheel lift systems protect your vehicle’s frame, bumpers, and body panels. The metal yoke cradles your wheels safely, preventing damage during transport.
Fast Response
Wheel lift towing can secure your vehicle in under 3 minutes, making it ideal for emergency situations on busy Houston highways like I-10 and Highway 225.
Cost-Effective
More affordable than flatbed towing while still providing professional protection for your vehicle. Perfect for routine towing needs and budget-conscious customers.
Versatile Access
Our compact wheel lift trucks can access tight spaces, parking garages, and narrow residential streets where larger flatbed trucks cannot operate.

When to Choose Wheel Lift Towing
Wheel lift towing is the ideal choice for many situations common in East Houston:
Perfect For:
- Emergency Breakdowns: Fast setup gets you out of traffic quickly on busy highways like I-10 and Beltway 8
- Mechanical Issues: Engine problems, transmission failures, or electrical issues that leave your car stranded
- Flat Tires: When you don’t have a spare or can’t safely change a tire in traffic
- Dead Battery: When jump-starting isn’t possible or your vehicle won’t hold a charge
- Parking Lot Recovery: Tight spaces around shopping centers, businesses, and residential areas
- Budget-Conscious Transport: Professional service at a more affordable price point
Front-Wheel Drive Vehicles
Wheel lift towing is especially effective for front-wheel drive cars. By lifting the rear wheels, we keep your transmission completely isolated from the road surface, eliminating any possibility of drivetrain damage during transport.
⚠️ Important Safety Notice
All-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles typically require flatbed towing to prevent drivetrain damage. Our operators will assess your vehicle and recommend the safest transport method.

How quickly can you respond for emergency wheel lift towing?
+
We typically respond within 15 minutes for emergency calls in East Houston, Baytown, Humble, and Crosby. Our dispatch system tracks all trucks in real-time to send the closest available unit to your location.
Is wheel lift towing safe for my vehicle’s transmission?
+
Yes, when performed correctly. For front-wheel drive vehicles, we lift the rear wheels, keeping the transmission isolated from the road. For rear-wheel drive vehicles, we lift the front wheels. Our operators are trained to identify drive configurations and use the appropriate method.
What’s the difference between wheel lift and flatbed towing?
+
Wheel lift towing lifts only two wheels while the other wheels roll on the road. It’s faster and more cost-effective for most vehicles. Flatbed towing places the entire vehicle on a platform, providing maximum protection but at a higher cost. We’ll recommend the best method for your specific situation.

Absolutely. Our emergency dispatch center operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. We understand that vehicle emergencies can happen at any time, and we’re always ready to help.

What should I do while waiting for the tow truck?
+
Stay safe by moving your vehicle to the shoulder if possible, turning on hazard lights, and staying away from traffic. Have your vehicle registration, insurance information, and destination address ready. Keep your phone charged and remain aware of your surroundings.
