Gierach’s Towing Service

Your vehicle or car is a machine that can break down when you least expect it. The vehicle can be more susceptible to wear and tear if you drive long distances. If it is not properly maintained, it may stop working the way it wants. Towing companies are now available to help. If you have an accident or a breakdown, you can call the nearest towing company and let them diagnose the problem. If they are unable to fix the problem immediately, they will be able to tow your vehicle to the nearest service station.

Towing companies offer more than just assistance in the event of a breakdown. Towing companies can also be used to remove illegally parked or abandoned vehicles. Towing companies can tow cars to the nearest police station if they are found abandoned or damaged.

There are many things to consider when you’re considering hiring a towing company. You should first check if they are able to operate in your locality. Also, find out which areas they cover. You can rest assured that they can help you no matter where you are.

Next, find out if there are a number of phone numbers that can be reached. The towing company will not be of any use to you if they do not have an emergency number. Professional companies will always have a list of numbers you can easily remember and can reach when you need them.

Broken downs can occur at any hour of the day, whether it’s morning, noon, or late at night. There is no set time. Towing agencies should be available 24 hours a day. They can reach you in minutes by simply calling.

You should also consider the level of their expertise before you hire a towing company. There are many types of vehicle problems. There could be an issue with the jumper start, the battery is low or the axle is damaged. There could be many issues with the car as it is a complex machine. If you hire professionals, make sure they are familiar with the most common problems that may arise during a breakdown.

Last but not least, consider the cost factor. It is not a good idea to spend a lot of money on towing services. Set up a package deal that runs on an annual basis. Compare and find a towing agency with a wider range of services at a lower price.…

For those new to caravanning, the law can be confusing. However, there are two types of drivers: those who passed their test prior to January 1997 and those who passed after January 1997.

For those who were born before January 1, 1997

Your license should already show category B+E. You don’t need to pass an additional test in order to tow a caravan, provided the caravan and tow vehicle combination is not more than 8,250 kg. This should allow you ample choice when choosing a caravan and tow vehicle.

For those who died after January 1, 1997

You can only drive a vehicle that weighs more than 3,500kg or tow a trailer tent or caravan up to 750 kg if you have passed your driving test in the past.

You can tow a heavier caravan with a smaller tow vehicle, provided that the combined weight does not exceed 3,500 kg. The legal requirement is that the maximum allowed mass (MAM), of the caravan or trailer tent, does not exceed the unladen vehicle’s weight. You should find the unladen weight of your vehicle in the manufacturer’s manual.

To tow any larger than that, you must pass an additional test. Now it is time to match your caravan and tow vehicle. If you are new to caravanning or towing, it is best to choose the lightest caravan possible and not to try to tow the largest caravan.

The Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass of the caravan (MTPLM), should not exceed 85%. To calculate the MTPLM, consult your car’s owner’s manual. You can multiply the kerb weight by 85 and then divide by 100.

This rule is only applicable if the maximum car tow weight is greater than or equal to 85% of its kerb weight. The handbook should have the information. The caravan’s MTPLM should not exceed 85% if it falls below that limit.

It is essential to properly load your caravan to make it safer when towing. You should resist the temptation to stuff everything in the front locker with your gas bottles, spare wheel, and spare tire. This could lead to you exceeding the maximum tow bar weight (the maximum your caravan and tow vehicle can carry) and making it unsafe to tow. Towing will be dangerous if you exceed the weight of your caravan and car.

Only lightweight items can be packed in the caravan’s fitted cabinets at head height. To balance the heavier items above the axle, medium-weight items (such as empty aqua rolls), should be placed at floor height at the caravan’s front and back. Heavy items such as awnings should be placed at the floor and as close as possible to the caravan’s wheels. Towing heavy items behind the caravan can cause it to be unbalanced and create a pendulum effect.

New caravans are equipped with towing stability systems, such as AL-KO’s ATC. These systems can be invaluable in preventing your caravan from becoming unstable and causing an accident. These can help you get a discount on your caravan insurance. Towing classes are a great way for novice caravanners to get expert advice and tuition in driving and maneuvering. This could make your first trip a little easier and help you avoid any potential insurance claims.…
