This is a pretty typical single car flat bed tow truck in America.
Tow trucks in America and in Japan are quite different.
Let's load this Ferrari F430 Scuderia on this truck.
This truck is pretty new and is a lot better than some older models.
What makes it better is the curved end of the bed.
The curved end makes it easier to load low riding "shakotan" cars.
Older truck beds are not bent like this one is at the end.
Without the curved end, the slope of the bed makes it harder to load lowered cars.
Low cars like this Scuderia would definitely scrape on older model tow trucks.
It has definitely gotten easier to load cars like this nowadays.
I always wondered why we don't have tow trucks like this in America.
We're about to unload this drift car and you will see the differences with American tow trucks.
I am with Mr. Hasegawa of Ajito in Saitama.
He will demonstrate how the Japanese tow truck works.
The first big difference is this wireless remote control used to operate everything.
Wow!!
The American truck bed only goes to there.
Wow! You're still going!!
That is so cool!!!!
No way!!! The tailgate is remote controlled too!!??!!
Hasegawa-san, why aren't these types of trucks in America?
I want one of these back at home!!
With a tow truck like this you can load the lowest of Shakotan cars with no problems at all.
I'm gonna bring one of these to the USA one day!!!
See ya!!
