Quick, compact, built for tight spaces
Under lift towing service
An under lift (wheel lift) tow truck raises one pair of wheels and tows the vehicle on the other two. It is compact, quick to hook up and can get into places a long flatbed cannot, such as basement ramps, market lanes and crowded parking lots.
It suits short city moves of manual cars that roll freely. For automatics, EVs, low or damaged vehicles, ask for a flatbed instead.

When to choose under lift towing
Basements and parking levels
Low ceilings and tight turns make a flatbed hard to bring in. An under lift can reverse in, hook up and pull out.
Narrow lanes and markets
In old city lanes and crowded markets a compact truck gets to the car when a larger one cannot turn.
Illegally parked or obstructing vehicles
A quick tow to move a blocked-in or obstructing vehicle, where the owner needs it moved short distances.
Short breakdown tows
A manual car that rolls freely, towed a few kilometres to a garage.

Have this ready when you book
The more we know, the better the truck we send.
- The exact spot, with the basement level or lane name.
- Whether the car is manual or automatic, and whether the steering and wheels turn freely.
- The drop point and how far it is.
- Keys, and whether the handbrake is released.
What sets the fare
You see the fare, with every charge listed, before you confirm. These are the things that move it.
Distance
The fare grows with the distance, counted both ways because the truck returns.
Access
A tight basement or a lane that needs the driver to manoeuvre can change the effort involved.
Vehicle size and condition
A heavier vehicle or one that does not roll freely needs more work.
Tolls and time of day
Tolls are passed through, and some hours or areas carry an adjustment. All of it is shown before you confirm.

Mistakes to avoid
- Using an under lift for an automatic, EV or all-wheel-drive car that needs all four wheels off the road.
- Towing a damaged vehicle with a jammed wheel or broken steering on its own wheels.
- Not saying the car is in a basement, so a truck that cannot get in is sent.
Under lift towing: questions
Can an under lift tow my automatic car?
Generally not on its drive wheels. Ask for a flatbed for automatics, EVs and all-wheel-drive cars.
Will an under lift tow cause damage?
Done properly with the right equipment it is a standard method for short moves of cars that roll freely. If you are unsure about your car, ask for a flatbed.
Can you get a car out of a low basement?
An under lift truck is the usual choice for tight parking levels. Tell us the basement level when you book.
