plattformbärgningsbil

A plattformbärgningsbil, often translated as a flatbed tow truck or rollback tow truck, is a specialized vehicle designed for the transportation of other vehicles. Its primary feature is a hydraulically operated flat platform onto which a damaged, disabled, or inoperable vehicle can be loaded. This loading process is typically achieved by tilting the platform to the ground, allowing the vehicle to be winched or driven onto it. Once secured, the platform is then raised to a horizontal position for transport.

These trucks are widely used in various scenarios, including roadside assistance, vehicle recovery after accidents, and the transport of vehicles to dealerships, repair shops, or auction sites. The flatbed design is advantageous as it minimizes the risk of further damage to the towed vehicle's wheels, suspension, or undercarriage, as the entire vehicle rests on the platform. This contrasts with wheel-lift tow trucks, which only lift and support the front or rear wheels of the towed vehicle.

Plattformbärgningsbilar come in various sizes and weight capacities to accommodate different types of vehicles, from small passenger cars to larger trucks and even specialized equipment. The winch mechanism is a crucial component, enabling the safe and controlled loading of vehicles that may not be drivable. Safety straps and chocks are used to securely fasten the transported vehicle to the platform, ensuring stability during transit. Their versatility and protective nature make them a common sight in the automotive recovery and transport industry.
