More Information About 3D Model :
Small Flatbed Tow Truck (Vehicle Recovery / Motor Service)
A small flatbed tow truck is a specialized type of recovery vehicle designed for the transportation and retrieval of disabled, impounded, or non-roadworthy automobiles and other light- to medium-duty vehicles. It is characterized by its relatively compact size compared to heavy-duty wreckers or large commercial car carriers, coupled with a principal mechanism consisting of a hydraulically operated flatbed deck.
The term small typically refers to the vehicle's chassis class, often built upon a light- or medium-duty truck frame, enabling enhanced maneuverability suitable for urban environments, residential areas, and tighter spaces where larger recovery vehicles may face access limitations. The flatbed component is a solid, level platform positioned behind the driver's cab. This deck can be hydraulically tilted and often slid rearward onto the ground or close to ground level. This functionality allows a vehicle requiring transport to be driven, winched, or pulled directly onto the platform, effectively picking it up.
Operation involves positioning the flatbed truck, extending and tilting the bed, loading the target vehicle using its own power, a winch (typically mounted at the front of the bed), or other pulling mechanisms, securing the vehicle firmly to the deck using wheel straps, chains, or other tie-down systems, retracting the bed back into its horizontal transport position, and finally securing any ramps or auxiliary equipment.
This method of towing, often referred to as flatbed towing or vehicle transport, provides significant advantages over traditional hook-and-chain or wheel-lift methods for many applications. By supporting the entire vehicle on the flat deck, it prevents wear and tear on the towed vehicle's drivetrain, suspension, and tires. It is also ideal for transporting vehicles that are severely damaged, missing wheels, have low ground clearance, or are all-wheel drive, as it eliminates the need for the vehicle's wheels to rotate during transit.
Small flatbed tow trucks are widely employed across the motor service industry for a variety of tasks including:

  • Roadside assistance for mechanical breakdowns.
  • Recovery of vehicles involved in accidents.
  • Transporting vehicles to and from repair shops or dealerships.
  • Delivering new or used vehicles.
  • Relocating vehicles for impoundment or repossession.
  • Moving classic cars, exotic vehicles, or those requiring particularly careful handling.
    These vehicles serve as essential assets in ensuring the safe and efficient movement of disabled or non-operational vehicles, providing a versatile solution for a broad spectrum of vehicle recovery and transportation needs within a manageable size class.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
Learn more
No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.

Assigned materials
Materials are applied to the 3D model to allow visualize a model's surface properties and appearance.
Learn more
UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
Learn more
UV unwrapped model
A UV unwrapped model means its 3D surface is flattened into 2D space, allowing textures to be applied accurately.
