AWD vehicles cannot be wheel-lifted without causing drivetrain damage. When one axle is lifted and the other remains on the ground, the drivetrain rotates with the engine off and damages internal components. Flatbed keeps all four wheels completely off the ground -- the only safe method for any AWD vehicle.
Yes. Flatbed extraction from the Edmonds ferry lane requires specific positioning relative to the holding lane geometry to remove the vehicle without blocking adjacent lanes. We handle ferry lane flatbed calls regularly and coordinate with terminal traffic when required. Tell the dispatcher you are in the ferry lane when you call.
Yes. Flatbed loading on the Edmonds waterfront grades -- 9th Avenue North, Dayton Street -- requires correct approach angle and winch positioning that accounts for the slope. Our operators assess the specific grade before loading. Tell us you are on a hill street when you call so we prepare accordingly.
Yes. EVs must be flatbed towed with all four wheels off the ground to protect the motor and regenerative braking system. We dispatch flatbed for every EV call automatically.

AWD crossovers driven by Edmonds commuters who use the Kingston ferry, post-accident vehicles from Highway 99 with suspension damage, and vehicles with mechanical failures on the waterfront hill grades that require grade-aware flatbed loading are the most common flatbed call types in Edmonds.
