Short answer: Moss Heavy Duty Towing provides wheel lift towing in Buffalo and Erie County, NY. The truck lifts your car by two wheels, so it fits low garages, narrow driveways and crowded lots. Best for front- or rear-wheel-drive cars. Available 24/7. Call (716) 923-7804.
What Wheel Lift Towing Is
A wheel lift truck slides a metal cradle under two of your tires and lifts that end of the car, while the other two wheels roll on the road. Nothing touches the bumper or the frame. It’s quicker to hook up than a flatbed and works in places a flatbed can’t fit.
When It’s a Good Fit
- Parking garages: wheel lift trucks are shorter and fit under lower ceilings
- Tight driveways and side streets: easier to maneuver in small spaces
- Busy roads: a quick hookup gets the car off the shoulder sooner
- Two-wheel-drive cars and small pickups: the most common wheel lift tows
When We Use a Flatbed Instead
AWD and 4WD vehicles, electric cars, low sports cars and cars with accident damage usually ride on a flatbed instead, with all four wheels off the road. Tell us your vehicle when you call and we’ll send the right truck.
Where We Operate
We provide wheel lift towing throughout Buffalo, Cheektowaga, Amherst, Tonawanda, West Seneca and Lackawanna and the rest of Erie County.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a wheel lift damage my bumper?
No. The cradle holds the tires, not the bumper or the frame, and the operator sets the lift height for your car.
Can you tow an AWD car with a wheel lift?
Usually not. AWD and 4WD vehicles should go on a flatbed to protect the drivetrain.
Can you get my car out of a parking garage?
Often, yes. Tell us the garage and the clearance if you know it, and we’ll send a truck that fits.
Are you open 24/7?
Yes. Call (716) 923-7804 any time, day or night, weekends and holidays.
How much does a tow cost?
It depends on the vehicle, its weight, the distance and whether recovery is needed. Call and we’ll give you a quote on the phone.
