Customized Towing Truck Flatbeds Body for Chassis 5tons -16t Wrecker
Medium to heavy-duty flatbed wrecker (rollback) body that can be mounted on a truck chassis. The 5 to 16-ton capacity range covers a significant segment of the towing and recovery market, from light-duty commercial vehicles up to medium-heavy trucks.
Chassis Compatibility: Designed to be mounted onto a truck chassis (often referred to as a "cab and chassis" or "stripped chassis").
Capacity: The 5 tons to 16 tons rating usually refers to the maximum load capacity of the flatbed (rollback deck). This range places it firmly in the medium-duty carrier/wrecker category, capable of hauling and recovering most commercial trucks, buses, heavy equipment, and a large number of cars simultaneously.
Wrecker/Towing Functionality:
The term "Wrecker" implies it's equipped for recovery. For a flatbed, this typically includes:
- Rollback/Carrier Deck: A hydraulic flatbed that slides back and tilts to load vehicles.
- Winch: A powerful hydraulic winch (often 8,000 lbs to 15,000 lbs or more) for pulling disabled vehicles onto the deck.
- Wheel-Lift/Underlift: A secondary towing device (often rated around 4,000 lbs to 8,000 lbs) located at the rear to lift and tow a second vehicle.
Customization:
The "Customized" part is important, as manufacturers often offer options like:
- Deck Material: Steel (more durable) or Aluminum (lighter, higher payload).
- Deck Length and Width: To match the chassis and desired towing capacity.
- Toolbox/Storage Layout: Custom-built side boxes for chains, tools, and equipment.
- Lighting and Pylons: Custom light bars, work lights, and warning systems.
