Over 8000 Machines In Use, Serving 53 Countries, With Over 5-Million Vehicle Rescues Worldwide!
The Tracked Machines Vehicle Mover System is the only vehicle movement system internationally approved by Law Enforcement, Insurance Industry and Government Agencies around the world!
Their machines are the most technology advanced equipment on the market that possesses the strength and capability to lift an EV or heavy vehicle weighing over 9000 lbs by all four wheels without having to enter or touch the vehicle. The operator can move the vehicle without causing any damages. Their equipment can pick-up the vehicle from tight, confined spaces inside parking garages or outside in wooded, rocky area’s that tow trucks cannot get to. The tow provider deliver and place the disabled vehicle inside a garage facility that a technician man want.
• For the Tow Provider, we offer the TowTrack Machine.
• For the Automotive Facility we offer the Electric CarMover Machine
Tracked Machines has been so successful in the five years of operations, that there are over 8000 machines serving in 53 different Countries and have logged over 5,000,000 vehicle rescues. Their system is mandated to be used in 14 European countries that passed legislation that requires the TowTrack
Machines to be used with all Law Enforcement and Electric Vehicle Towing.
These same mandates are heading to the USA due to the same legal issues that are currently plaquing the Automobile and Towing Industry. The current towing equipment cannot handle the weight of the EV’s and have no attachment points to pull onto a truck-bed. EV’s fail to possess a neutral/free rolling gear therefore the Control Arms on these vehicles are not rated to pull the excessive weight north of 6000 lbs. This is causing the Insurance Industry headeache that U.S. Insurance Carriers are only approving 1 out of 6 Towing related Insurance Damage Claims.
Ford Roadside Assistance recently had an incident where they sent out a tow provider to pick up a 2022 Ford Mach-E, which was disabled on the side of the road. The roadside assistance dispatched a tow provider who arrived at the scene with a truck that failed to meet federally mandated weight limits. Then the operator improperly hooked the winch-cable to the battery-frame-rail and pulled the vehicle with the cable attached to the wrong connection point, resulting in damages to the EV battery-rail totaling $28,000. The owner of the EV has spoken to the roadside assistance company, insurance companines of the tow provider and his insurance carrier only to find out there is no insurance coverages for this incident do to the incident being classified as an illegal activity with the TowTruck exceeding weight requirements.
Leaving the Tow Provider and Vehicle owner to solve the problem between themselves. Wheel-lift and dollies are legally prohibited to carry more than 3000 lbs. per FMCSA law.
Law Enforcement is aware of the legal issues involving EV’s and has ramped up weight enforcement against Tow Providers across the United States. This is new found revenue for these agencies. Insurance Carriers have also placed new prohibitions with the use of light duty trucks(19,000 lbs) from towing EV’s. Therefore, the Towing Industry in the United States will be having major changes with dealing with EV’s towing operations in the United States.
