Transporting a delivery vehicle is not the same as towing a passenger car. A van or truck needs to be treated differently — both in terms of equipment and safety regulations.
We have specialized equipment adapted for transporting delivery vehicles — from 9-seater vans to trucks with tarpaulins. Flatbed, rigid tow, appropriate safety measures — all to ensure your vehicle arrives safely at the workshop or wherever you need it.
What you need to know about towing a van or truck
When can you tow with a rope, and when is a flatbed absolutely necessary? It depends on the type of vehicle, its technical condition, and where we are taking it.
Delivery vehicles can be towed with a rope — but only under certain conditions. The rope must be between 4 to 6 meters long and properly marked. For safety reasons — especially for longer distances — a flatbed is often a better solution. On a flatbed, the vehicle stands stably, without the risk of damaging the suspension or steering system.
When do we use a flatbed instead of a rope
- Damaged steering or braking system — if the brakes or steering are not functioning properly, towing with a rope is impossible.
- Transport on the highway — on fast roads, we only use a flatbed.
- Vehicle with an automatic transmission — often requires a tow truck, especially if the manufacturer does not allow towing on wheels.
- Serious suspension damage — locked wheels or significant damage may prevent safe towing with a rope.
- Transport abroad — we transport vans or minibuses outside of Poland using a tow truck.
- Peace of mind — if you want to be absolutely sure that nothing will happen, choose a tow truck.
How towing works at Ski-Trans
When you call, we are ready. First, we assess the condition of your vehicle — we check if it can be towed with a rope or if a tow truck is necessary. It all depends on the type of damage and the destination.
If we are towing with a rope — we use professional straps and chains. Everything is properly tightened and secured. The vehicle has its lights on, and we stay in contact with you by phone. We drive smoothly, without sudden maneuvers.
If it's a tow truck — we load the vehicle smoothly, secure it with straps, and set up appropriate signage. The transport proceeds calmly, without unnecessary dynamics.
The 80/20 rule — safety first
This is not a regulation, but a practical safety principle: do not exceed 80% of the permissible total weight (PTW) of the towing vehicle when pulling a trailer. The remaining 20% is reserved for passengers, luggage, and other loads. This way, the vehicle drives more stably and safely, and the risk of losing control is much lower.
Fines for improper towing
Towing without proper safeguards or in violation of regulations can result in a fine. The amount of fines is usually 250–300 złoty, but it can vary. It's always worth checking current information from official sources.
We ensure that your towing is 100% legal. You don't have to worry about anything.
