A wheel-lift truck has a metal yoke that slides under the drive wheels and lifts only that end of your vehicle off the ground - the other end rolls on its own wheels. It is faster than a flatbed and fits into tight lots where a flatbed cannot.
Is wheel-lift safe for my car?
For standard FWD or RWD sedans, yes. For AWD, 4WD, or any EV - absolutely not, call for a flatbed. The spinning driveshaft or dragging drive motors will cause expensive internal damage on any vehicle with all four wheels driven or motored. If you're unsure, we'll tell you honestly.
