A good towing company will know what kind of towing services you require after asking you a few questions over the phone. They’ll figure out whether you need light, or heavy-duty towing. Most people are unable to distinguish between the various types of towing services that they require. However, depending on the type of towing required, the job assignment can vary significantly.

Towing for Wide Range of Light Duty Vehicles

At Totalease Minneapolis Towing Company, we are fully equipped to handle all of your towing requirements. We have the towing trucks for all scenarios. Light duty towing includes towing vehicles such as automobiles, motorcycles, SUVs, or mini-vans. The vehicles are classified as having a GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of less than 10,000 lbs. Tow truck drivers will use the appropriate tow truck for the towing situation. The GVWR system is used to determine the type of towing you’ll require. We can calculate your vehicle’s maximum operating mass using the system. It’s important to note that the operating mass of your vehicle includes the chassis, engine, fuel, accessories, passengers, and cargo capacity. The GVWR system is divided into three groups, each with nine classes. These are classified as light, medium, and heavy duties.

Using the Right Towing Equipment

We have two options for towing light-duty vehicles. Typically, we will secure either the front or rear two wheels of your vehicle. The remaining wheels will remain in contact with the road, assisting us in our transportation. In addition, we have regular dolly towing trucks in our fleet that are ideal for light-duty towing. The dolly towing technique entails attaching a dolly to the towing truck as an extension. Using this method, we can completely remove your vehicle from the road. This means that none of your vehicle’s wheels will make contact with the road. Dolly towing is appropriate for vehicles that are stuck in gear or are severely damaged. Furthermore, it is an excellent option if you require us to tow your vehicle.
