The Global Tow Truck: How Tow Trucks Became a Universal Tool for Emergency Response

The International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee preserves the history of towing as a universal emergency response tool, documenting how the industry evolved from simple horse-drawn wreckers to modern rotators capable of lifting 100 tons, according to the museum. The museum is the world's only museum dedicated exclusively to the towing and recovery industry.

Operator takeaway

The world's only museum dedicated to towing — if you have never visited the International Towing Museum in Chattanooga, make the trip. The Wall of the Fallen alone is worth the drive.
