Wheel lift recovery
Wheel-lift equipment supports one end of a vehicle. Suitability depends on its drivetrain, condition and the manufacturer's recovery requirements.
Wheel lift recovery: checking compatibility before lifting
What needs checking
Driven wheels, steering, transmission, overall weight and damage must be checked.
Collection and handover
The operator confirms whether a wheel lift is appropriate or whether dollies or full transport are needed instead.
Useful details for your call
Give the exact model, drive type if known and condition of all wheels.
Wheel lift recovery: questions and answers
Is a wheel lift suitable for electric or four-wheel-drive cars?
Do not assume so. Model-specific instructions and compatible additional equipment determine the answer.
Why might a flatbed be recommended instead?
Full transport may suit the drivetrain, damage or loading circumstances better than lifting one end.
What affects the quotation for wheel lift recovery?
Equipment choice, compatibility checks, access and distance affect the price. A quotation should confirm the agreed collection, loading and transport scope before work is arranged.
