Hydraulic flatbed
Hydraulic flatbed towing in Kuwait
A hydraulic flatbed tilts down to the ground, so the car is driven or winched on, secured, and carried with its wheels off the road.

Why a flatbed instead of towing on wheels?
- The wheels do not turn in transit, so the gearbox and drivetrain are not affected.
- Suits automatics, 4x4s and electric cars, which many manufacturers say should not be towed on their wheels.
- Better for accident-damaged cars, because no load sits on the damaged parts.
Flatbed, “crane flatbed” or tow truck?
In Kuwait people call this service by several names: sataha (flatbed), “winch sataha” or “crane sataha”. They usually mean the same thing: a truck whose hydraulic bed tilts down to the ground to load the car. If your situation needs a crane to lift a car out of a difficult spot, tell us the details and we confirm whether the available equipment suits it before setting off.

Low and sports cars
Very low cars need a shallow loading angle so the bumper and underbody do not scrape. Tell us the model and ride height when you call, so we can confirm the available flatbed suits it before we set off.
Electric and hybrid cars
Most manufacturers recommend moving electric cars on a flatbed. If you have the owner’s manual, check the tow-mode instructions, or tell us the model and we will help with the steps before loading.
Before the flatbed arrives
- Have the key ready and, if possible, put the car in neutral.
- Remove valuables from the car.
- Tell us if the car is in a basement or low-ceiling car park.

Frequently asked questions
Is a flatbed suitable for my luxury car?
A hydraulic flatbed is the preferred way to move luxury cars. Tell us the model and ride height so we can confirm the loading angle.
Is the car strapped down?
Yes, the car is secured to the bed before we move off so it cannot shift in transit.
Can you move a car whose wheels do not turn?
Often yes, but tell us in advance because it needs a different loading method.
