of transporting the vehicle.

The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires of the driving
axle and lift them off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the ground.

The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks go
around parts of the frame or suspension, and the cables lift that end of
the vehicle off the ground. The vehicle's suspension and body can be seriously
damaged if this method of towing is attempted.
