FB-5 - Metro's economy five-ton carrier with flipper tail and 19' 6” deck (9 degree load angle). This flat bed is suitable for carrying all passenger vehicles, light duty trucks and light duty equipment. In tough times, the FB-5 is every owner or fleet operator's best friend.
Not only can you transport severely damaged vehicles, but you also have the capacity to grab another car on the ride to your lot using the independent wheel lift with swivel scoop pans. If calls are few and far between,you can always transport light duty equipment or just about anything else. To help you keep organized, we include a single 36” under mount tool box, but optionally we offer many types of storage up to dual 72” tool boxes.
As with all Metro Tow Trucks, customization is the order of the day and we'll build your carrier the way you want it. Don't hesitate to inquire, standard and customized carriers are surprisingly inexpensive.
