Flatbed towing is a method of transporting a vehicle using a flatbed truck, a carrier where the entire vehicle is loaded onto a flat, level platform and secured firmly with straps or chains. Unlike traditional wheel lift towing, all four wheels of your car are off the ground during transport. This makes it the safest and most damage free towing method available.

Our team responds quickly to calls throughout the city from River Heights to St. Vital, from The Forks area to Transcona ensuring your vehicle reaches its destination safely and without a scratch.
We handle everything from everyday passenger cars and SUVs to motorcycles, luxury vehicles, and low learance sports cars. If your vehicle matters to you, flatbed towing is the right choice and we’re the right team.
Not all tow trucks are the same. When people search for “towing near me” in Winnipeg, they often don’t realize there’s a big difference between the type of towing equipment used and that difference can determine whether your car arrives safely or with new damage.
Flatbed towing, also called rollback towing, uses a specialized truck with a hydraulically operated flat platform at the rear. The platform tilts or slides down to ground level, allowing the vehicle to be driven, winched, or rolled onto it. Once secured, the platform lifts back into a horizontal position and your vehicle rides safely elevated above the road for the entire journey.
This is different from dolly towing or wheel lift towing, where only two wheels are lifted off the ground and the other two remain in contact with the road surface. That method introduces wear on your transmission and drivetrain especially problematic for all wheel drive (AWD) vehicles, front wheel drive (FWD) cars, and vehicles with low ground clearance.
In Winnipeg’s climate, where roads face extreme cold in winter and potholes in spring, having your car fully elevated on a flatbed protects it from road debris, ice, and uneven pavement during towing.
Whether you need accident recovery towing, emergency towing, or long distance vehicle transport, flatbed is the professional grade, damage free solution.

Choosing flatbed towing over other methods isn’t just about convenience, it’s about protecting one of your most valuable assets. Here’s why drivers across Winnipeg, MB consistently choose flatbed towing when they have the choice.
When two wheels stay on the road during traditional towing, the transmission and drivetrain can suffer serious damage — especially on AWD, 4WD, and newer automatic vehicles. Flatbed towing eliminates this risk completely because all four wheels are off the ground.
Winnipeg’s roads are notorious for their potholes, frost heaves, and winter debris. When your vehicle sits elevated on a flatbed platform, it bypasses all of that entirely. No secondary damage from curbs, bumps, or road debris.
If your car has been in a collision and has structural damage, broken axles, or deflated tires, flatbed towing is often the only safe and legal way to transport it. Wheel-lift towing on a damaged vehicle can cause further harm.
Sports cars, lowered vehicles, exotics, and luxury vehicles have lower ground clearance and are more vulnerable to scrapes and undercarriage damage. Our flatbed trucks load smoothly with minimal ground clearance requirements.
Motorcycles require upright, secured loading that only a flatbed can provide properly. Classic or vintage cars with fragile bodywork benefit from the stable, vibration-reduced ride a flatbed offers.
Honestly? Just knowing your car is sitting flat, fully secured, and completely off the road that peace of mind is worth it. Especially when you’re already stressed from a breakdown or accident.
