Call City Towing for an affordable winching service in Seattle, and leave the rest of the problems on us.
We have a wide range of tow trucks equipment with advance winching gear to rescue all types of vehicles from cars, trucks, SUV’s and even a motorcycles. Our tow operators are well trained in winching out cars from roadside ditches and deep snow. To ensure the winching process goes smoothly without damaging your car or its parts, we follow our own winching process.
I am mentioning some of the winching process down below:
1. Preparing the car for a safe winch
The first and the foremost thing we do before starting the winching process is to empty the car. This includes getting the driver and luggage out of the car. Then we put the gear in neutral position and unchoke the wheels by removing any mud or rocks that may prevent it from rotating freely.
2. Fastening the winching hook and cable securely
Accidently unfastening of a winching cable can be disastrous, thus fixing the hook and the cable properly is essential. Sometimes if the vehicle is to too big or heavy to winch easily, we anchor it to the nearest tree to ensure that, if the winching cable fails, the car won’t collide with nearby trees.
3. Chocking our towing trucks properly
Before we start the winching process, we chock our tow truck’s wheels and apply the hand brake to ensure our tow truck doesn’t get pulled into the ditch due to the weight of the stuck car.
