Wheel-Lift Wanch on Makkah Highway
A wheel-lift is not the usual answer in Makkah Highway, where there is normally room for a bed. It comes when a car is boxed into a kerbside space near Tuwaiq escarpment, or when the job is a two-kilometre move to a workshop and a full bed would be overkill.
Getting the truck to your car
On a live carriageway the truck always approaches from behind you and parks at an angle as a shield, with the beacon bar and cones out before anyone touches the car. Nothing is loaded until that barrier is in place.
Roads
- Makkah Highway (Route 40 west)
Landmarks
- Tuwaiq escarpment
- Al Muzahimiyah
- Red Sand
What it loads
- Two-wheel-drive cars needing a short tow to a nearby workshop
- Cars parked in basements under Kingdom Centre, KAFD and airport terminals
- Vehicles wedged into tight kerbside spaces where a bed cannot be dropped
- Illegally parked or blocked-in cars that must be moved a short distance
What it will not take
- All-wheel drive and 4x4 — two turning wheels will damage the transfer case
- Automatics over about 20 km, where the gearbox loses lubrication
- Cars with a broken axle, hub or suspension arm on the lifted end
- Electric cars with a driven rear axle unless that axle is the one lifted
How the hydraulics do the job
- 1
The driver reverses in and extends the yoke under the front or rear wheels.
- 2
Rubber-faced claws close on the tyres — never on the bodywork or the bumper — and the ram lifts the axle about 200 mm.
- 3
A safety chain and strap go on before the truck moves, and the car is towed out at low speed to the surface.
