Towing situations
Low-clearance vehicle across the Orlando Metro
Low bumpers and underbody parts can contact ramps during loading. Dispatch needs vehicle measurements and approach conditions before selecting an operator.
Map the lowest points
- Identify splitters, side skirts, exhaust parts, or lowered suspension.
- Share published ground clearance or an accurate measurement when available.
- Describe driveway slopes, speed bumps, curbs, and pavement transitions.
- Report any corner already resting against the ground or tire.
- Note whether adjustable suspension remains raised, lowered, or unresponsive.
When clearance changes the job
- The vehicle has aftermarket suspension or low-profile body pieces.
- A steep driveway creates a sharp break near the street.
- The underside scraped before the vehicle became disabled.
- Parking access includes ramps, humps, or uneven pavement transitions.
Show the approach clearly
- Take side-level photographs showing the lowest body components.
- Include wide photographs of every slope along the exit.
- Give dispatch measurements without estimating unknown vehicle specifications.
- Remove loose personal items only when you can safely reach them.
Clearance must be confirmed onsite
Photos and measurements support planning but don’t guarantee obstacle clearance. Independent operators determine their equipment and approach after reviewing conditions.
Low-clearance questions
Which vehicle parts should appear in my photographs?
Capture bumpers, side skirts, wheels, and the lowest visible component.
Should I estimate the ground clearance for dispatch?
No. Use a reliable specification or clearly measured distance.
Why should I photograph the driveway from farther away?
A wide view shows slope changes that close photographs miss.
Does low clearance automatically require certain towing equipment?
No. The independent operator confirms equipment after reviewing the situation.
