The tow truck company professional noticed that the large layout of the shop allowed him to get the larger truck right in. To begin the job, the tow truck company driver backed up to the truck. The truck’s driver side axle was resting on the swing arm of the lift, so he extended the boom.
Two soft straps were connected to the tow hooks which were attached to the frame of the truck.
The truck was lifted and then stabilized and the tow truck company crew member lowered it back down gently. Once on the ground, the lift was set underneath the truck and resituated.
Lastly, the tow truck company completed the job by placing the wheels back on the truck.
Thankfully, there was minimal damage to the truck. On the driver’s door, there was a little damage and the service body was slightly bent. Lastly, there was minimal undercarriage and door damage. The entire job took the tow truck company professional 40 minutes in total.
