Wheel-Lift in The Fan, VA.
Wheel-Lift for The Fan homes, done by experienced Richmond metro crews. When you need to pull a standard sedan out of a narrow Fan District one-way street or a tight Church Hill driveway, a wheel-lift truck is the right tool. Smaller footprint than a flatbed, faster hook-up, and zero damage on properly-equipped vehicles.
Why is wheel-lift different in Richmond Core?
The Fan's narrow one-way Victorian streets are where wheel-lift earns its keep, a full flatbed simply cannot turn around on some of these blocks, and Carytown's dense retail strip has the same tight-access problem behind its independent shops. Standard FWD sedans dominate call volume in these denser Richmond Core pockets.
