What Are Municipal Tow Trucks and How Are They Used?
Municipal tow trucks are specialized utility vehicles used by city services and public authorities to remove improperly parked vehicles, assist with traffic incidents, and support vehicle recovery operations. These trucks are built for frequent urban use and are often equipped with hydraulics, winches, and wheel-lift systems. A modern european tow truck must balance compactness for narrow city streets with the strength to tow a wide range of vehicles.
Applications and Regulations in the European Union
Within the EU, municipal tow trucks are primarily used by local governments, police departments, and contracted recovery services. Their duties include clearing road obstructions, relocating vehicles during construction, and responding to breakdowns. To operate a towing truck in a public role, operators must comply with local transport laws, including weight restrictions, licensing (Category C or C1), and safety inspections. EU countries also require regular checks on hydraulic systems and lifting equipment to ensure roadside safety.
