Broken platforms and other devices for the manufacture of tow trucks
This special vehicle consists of two main parts: a chassis with a loading platform and a loading mechanism, which can be a crane or a winch (electric or hydraulic). In principle, a tow truck can be made from any suitable truck. It is the conversion of trucks into a tow truck that is one of the main activities.
Most often, our specialists convert trucks into winch tow trucks, since they are more in demand than tow trucks with loader cranes. However, the matter is not limited to installing a cargo winch alone - it is also necessary to re-equip the loading area, which is usually used for such tow trucks on a broken platform.
It is a stationary loading platform, the flooring of which has one or more kinks. Together with special entrance ramps, this design greatly simplifies the loading of the vehicle to be evacuated, especially if it has a low landing.
If the car is able to move, then it drives onto this platform under its own power; if not, it is pulled there using an installed winch. On the platform itself, the car can be secured with special belts or fixed with wheel stops. Entrance ramps are most often made removable and stored in special niches, without protruding beyond the dimensions of the platform.
Features of tow truck production
The production of this special equipment by converting trucks includes several main stages. First, you must obtain permission from the traffic police to convert the vehicle. Only after this our specialists get down to business.
_____________________________________________________________
For each converted truck, a broken platform (frame, decking, wheel tracks, retractable ramps) is manufactured and adjusted individually, in agreement with the customer. In the production of the platform, only metal is used, the quality of which is confirmed by relevant certificates.
The scope of work also includes preparing the site for the winch, installing it, installing all the required side lights and carrying out the necessary painting work. As a rule, we install electric winches on tow trucks, which are more economical to operate, but if necessary, a hydraulic winch can also be mounted on the chassis.
_____________________________________________________________
Upon completion of the conversion into a tow truck, the client receives a complete set of documents necessary to register the vehicle with the traffic police.
Today, tow trucks are not uncommon on city streets and have firmly and forever entered our everyday life. In most cases, this is the only way to get to the service. Unlike overseas exotics, where this type of service has been developed since the beginning of the last century, our market is saturated, apparently out of poverty, with primitive broken platforms
installed on Gazelles, on which to take away a decent car you need to have extraordinary abilities and indifference.
Tow trucks with a manipulator crane (CMC)
are the most versatile, but they are expensive.
— our partial loading method is not inapplicable to the evacuation of all-wheel drive vehicles due to the real lack of normal roads. The most convenient and budget option is sliding platforms
, preferably rotating platforms, of different designs. In this case, a small approach angle makes it easy to load the vast majority of passenger cars, so the market for such cars will most likely develop further.
When you come to us, determine the future operating conditions of the ordered tow truck, taking into account the abundance of options, this will save your money.
Manufacturing work
vacuum platform, installation of a hydraulic unit, installation of an additional hydraulic line (if there is none), etc. costs from 700 rubles. The cost without a cable-type crane depends on your preferences, the choice in the cranes section, a fully hydraulic evacuation crane is suitable for these purposes, for example HYVA series HA, with a load moment ranging from 9 to 16 t.m. The rotator, traverse, wheel grips and slings are also purchased.
Tow truck with lift-and-slide platform
- the most common type of tow trucks used in urban environments to transport damaged vehicles.
Tow trucks are equipped with a WERKER platform with a lifting capacity of up to 6 tons
and
a length of up to 6 meters
. Our company installs tow trucks on any type of chassis, both Russian and foreign.
When working on the project of a towing platform of our own production, we tried to take into account and correct the shortcomings of lifting and sliding platforms from competing manufacturers, which we discovered during the repair and maintenance work of this equipment.
Design features of WERKER lift and slide platforms:
| In the manufacture of WERKER platforms, metal with a thickness of 4 mm is used, and not 3 mm, like competitors, which improves the reliability of the platform and its durability. |
| The increased diameter of the hydraulic cylinder rod - 65 mm allows you to increase the service life of the lifting mechanism |
| Reinforced beam and outriggers increase platform stability during operation |
| The powerful Come-UP winch allows you to achieve high speed loading of the car onto the platform |
Each produced tow truck undergoes control dynamic and static tests close to real operating conditions.
WERKER towing platforms are covered by
1-year
warranty from the manufacturer. Each tow truck has all the necessary documents, including an instruction manual.
The standard equipment of the WERKER lift-and-slide tow truck includes:
- Platform with a lifting capacity of 3500 kg with a locking mechanism
- Hydraulic winch with traction force 4.5 tons
- Galvanized cable 20 meters long
- Rear outriggers
- Three-layer painting of the platform
- Fastening straps (2 pieces)
- Flashing Light
- Tool box
At the customer's request, a tow truck with a lift-and-slide platform can be equipped with additional equipment: dolly trolleys, a pulley block, and additional lighting devices.
A tow truck with a sliding platform is used to transport cars when they break down, have an accident, or are parked incorrectly.
Features of the device and principle of operation
The design of a tow truck with a broken sliding platform includes the following elements and mechanisms:
- hydraulic device;
- winch;
- fasteners;
- wheel stops;
- driver's cabin;
- straps necessary to secure the vehicle.
Also, the tow truck device consists of:
- A front guard that protects the driver’s cabin during an emergency movement of the evacuated vehicle forward.
- Perforated flooring, which provides a high level of strength to the platform, thereby increasing its service life.
- Punched holes that are used to fix wheel stops.
- A block that allows you to change the direction of the cable or double the traction force.
- Ramps that are necessary for transporting cargo weighing more than 4,500 kg.
- Rear lights, which are located in metal boxes.
- Electrical equipment, which consists of headlights, interior lighting systems and brake lights.
During evacuation, the vehicle enters the loading platform independently, moving along retractable ramps that were previously securely fixed. If the vehicle cannot move independently, then it is loaded onto a tow truck using an installed winch. After this, the transport is secured with special anti-roll mechanisms.
When is a sliding platform required?
A sliding platform is a straight metal platform that is lowered at an angle from the body of a tow truck, facilitating the placement of vehicles and its evacuation. This mechanism is used when the wheels of the car are not blocked. Otherwise, loading the vehicle onto a tow truck will be problematic, and removing it will be even more difficult.
Important!
A tow truck with a sliding platform is classified as a special equipment with a full load.
Most often, this tow truck model is used in the following situations:
- transportation of sports cars that have low ground clearance, low overhangs or bumpers. It is worth considering that the angle of approach to the tow truck site is on average 10 degrees;
- delivery of new cars from the dealership to the buyer's door. The machine is securely secured with special belts and stops, so the risk of scratches or damage is minimal;
- inability to start the car engine due to various malfunctions;
- moving municipal or construction wheeled equipment.
Main types
Main types of tow trucks:
- tow truck with a retractable platform;
- with winch;
- with hydraulic manipulator;
- with straight platform and crane;
- with a broken platform;
- with partial loading;
- double decker.
The modification with a winch is used when transporting cars. A special winch is used to access the loading platform. Among the advantages of this equipment is the possibility of lateral movement.
The model with a hydraulic manipulator consists of a crane and a loading platform, which are combined into one device. It is used to solve problems of transporting vehicles in emergency condition.
A tow truck with a straight platform is capable of carrying out evacuation work. It is equipped with a crossbar that holds vehicles in a horizontal position.
