Flatbed towing carries your whole vehicle on a flat, hydraulic platform instead of dragging it on two wheels. All four wheels stay off the road, which protects the drivetrain, tires, suspension and bumpers. It is the recommended method for AWD, electric, low-clearance and damaged vehicles. - No road contact during transport - Lower risk of drivetrain and tire wear - Works for vehicles that cannot roll or steer [ Request Flatbed Towing ](tel:7805550199) ![Alberta Rose Towing truck on an Edmonton street at night, professional and reliable emergency service.](https://www.albertarosetowing.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/image-1791273077877.png) ## Flatbed vs Wheel-Lift Towing: Which Is Safer? A flatbed is safer for most modern vehicles. A wheel-lift tow leaves two wheels on the road, which can strain AWD drivetrains, scrape low bumpers and damage transmissions. Choose a flatbed for AWD/4WD, EV, luxury, lowered or accident-damaged vehicles. ### Flatbed Towing - Four wheels off the ground - Suitable for AWD, 4WD and EV - Safe for low-clearance vehicles - Handles vehicles that won't roll or steer - Loaded securely with winch and ramps ### Wheel-Lift Towing - Two wheels stay on the road - Can strain AWD and 4WD drivetrains - Risk of bumper and undercarriage contact - Not suitable for many EVs - Fine for some short tows of standard vehicles Not sure which you need? Tell us your make, model and condition when you call and we will recommend the right truck. [ Call Alberta Rose Towing ](tel:%20(780)%20440-3515) ## Flatbed Towing for AWD, EV, Luxury & Low-Clearance Vehicles AWD, 4WD, electric and low-clearance vehicles should be loaded onto a flatbed rather than towed on their wheels. A flatbed avoids driving the wheels, which can damage drivetrains and EV motors, and it clears low bumpers that would scrape on a wheel-lift tow. ### AWD and 4WD vehicles AWD and 4WD systems are built to keep all wheels turning together. Towing with some wheels on the road can damage the transfer case or differentials. A flatbed removes that risk. ### Electric and hybrid vehicles Many EVs should not be towed with any wheels on the ground. Give us the make, model and year when you call so we can confirm the correct loading method. Learn more about our [EV towing in Edmonton](/ev-towing-edmonton/). ### Luxury, sports and classic cars Low bumpers, wide wheels and valuable finishes need controlled loading at a shallow angle. ### Motorcycles Motorcycles are strapped upright on the deck.

Flatbed towing places your entire vehicle on a flat platform, preventing road wear during transport. In Edmonton, it is ideal for luxury cars, heavy duty trucks, or vehicles with mechanical failures, ensuring your car is elevated above road salt, debris, and potholes during transit. ### Is flatbed towing safer for my vehicle? Yes, flatbed towing is the safest method available. Because all four wheels are securely placed on the flatbed platform, there is zero risk of transmission wear, bumper scrapes, or tire damage. Your vehicle remains completely static and protected from any harsh Edmonton road conditions. ### Do you flatbed tow AWD and 4WD vehicles? Absolutely. All-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles must be transported on a flatbed. Towing them with wheels on the ground can cause severe, costly damage to the drivetrain and transmission. We strictly use flatbeds to ensure your AWD vehicle remains undamaged. ### Can you transport an electric vehicle on a flatbed? Yes, electric vehicles (EVs) must be towed on flatbeds. Most EV manufacturers strictly forbid traditional wheel-lift towing because the electric motors generate power when the wheels spin, which can overheat and damage the battery. A flatbed guarantees your EV is transported with zero battery risks. ### Can a flatbed move a car that won't start or roll? Yes, we can safely load vehicles that are completely inoperable, have locked wheels, or do not start. Our flatbed trucks are equipped with heavy-duty winches and specialized loading equipment to safely slide your vehicle onto the bed without causing any structural or cosmetic damage. ### Do you provide flatbed towing after an accident?
